Superheroes Are Dropping Like Flies! We Investigate Why Television Seems to be the Genre’s Kryptonite
If you are a fan of the superhero genre on television, you are amongst a dwindling audience. For some as-yet unknown reason, viewers are turning their backs on superheroes – on television, at least. Superheroes at the box office still seem able to lure viewers into theater seats.
With the Internet still buzzing about the David E. Kelley reincarnation of the classic television series WONDER WOMAN, one would think that superheroes are the biggest thing on television today. Unfortunately, that is just not the case. In fact, shows like THE CAPE, NO ORDINARY FAMILY and HEROES are evidence that viewers are not embracing superheroes – in fact, they are rejecting them. Even the CW’s all-powerful SMALLVILLE has seen a steady erosion of viewership since its debut a decade ago. For example, in 2001, SMALLVILLE debuted to 8.4 million viewers and now pulls an average of 2.9 million viewers. Another attempt to launch a superhero series was Syfy attempt to draw in viewers with its television event THE PHANTOM as a back-door pilot, but the mini-series only managed to draw in a modest number of viewers.

The Nielsen Conundrum: Why An Entire Nation of TV Addicts Are Being Held Hostage By 16,000 Viewers
If you are a television viewer today, you probably have scratched your head in bewilderment at how television ratings are determined. Simply put, there are an estimated 16,000 viewers that have Nielsen black boxes, and those 16,000 people are determining what the rest of us are allowed to watch on television.
Essentially, if you are not one of the privileged few with a Nielsen black box, then you are simply a calculated-statistic based on the viewing patterns of one of those 16,000 who may be in the same age group as you – regardless of the fact that you may have better taste in television shows.
