I predict a 2.2 premiere but I’ll do you one better I predict that this seaeson’s season low will be a 1.0- 0.9 and the premiere will be the high or the 100th episode (spring premiere) given the show’s track record I don’t think it’s going to hold a 2+ rating for longer than two episodes and then maybe again for spring premiere also I think Once will get a season 6 so long as there are no contractual issue does anyone know is this is a contract year for anyone?

It should be a contract year for nearly everyone. They typically go in 2 or three years. Bobby got a 5 year very early on. But for everyone else, they probably got 2 years in the beginning and then another 3 after 2nd season. So really, everyone’s contract is basically up at the end of 5.
As for your prediction….I dont think we’re going to fall that low. That’s Wonderland territory. I think we might hit a new low of 1.3-1.4 towards the end of the season but no lower.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I don’t think that it will get 0.9-1.0 ratings. However, I wonder if 1.3-1.4 is enough for a sixth season. I know was enough for other shows, however Once’s production is more expensive than other shows, so it might get higher expectations in terms of ratings.

As Matt would point out if he weren’t in California at the moment, it is also going to come down to whether or not ABC has a replacement for OUAT that they feel will do better/as well as OUAT.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"ABC had the biggest variables of the night with the addition of its two new dramas. After the season of Once Upon a Time returned to a 1.8 rating among adults 18-49, per Nielsen Media’s slightly delayed Fast Nationals, the network launched Blood and Oil and Quantico. The 9 p.m. soap averaged a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49 for its first time at bat, pulling 6.3 million viewers. As for Quantico, the drama did a 1.9 rating in the key demo and 7.1 million viewers.

So we were a bit high in our predictions but the good news that the show didn’t lose any views from the last episode -it just didn’t gain any- also I wouldn’t give these initial ratings a lot of weight because it was a bad Sunday night over all for ABC -its highest rated show of the night only pulled a 1.9 so I think the Live+1 numbers will be a lot better
The numbers aren’t good, either. At least in the past, they could spin that they were the top scripted drama of the night in demos, but they were beat by Quantico.
Traditionally, the premiere often received the highest ratings, drop a bit then level out. What we have to look at now is will history repeat itself or will ratings stay steady. Can they keep their current audience?
About the Twitter ranking, the cynic in me wonders how many tweets are positive and how many are negative–but worst is all, how many are tweeting their apathy over the show returning.

Wow….well, I expected better numbers but at this point in the game, it is what it is. And Adam and Eddy have no one but themselves to blame for their constant back and forth ship baiting which unfortunately increases ship wars, and their rehashing/constant retconning storyline. It is what it is.
If OUAT makes it out of this season, at the rate the ratings are going…Season 6, that’s if we get it, is a definite game over. We can only hope JMo’s incredible performance as Dark Swan lures newcomers and old watchers back.

Question- do you guys think OUAT suffers from oversharing? By that I mean I watch a lot of TV and no show has as many episode spoilers as OUAT-
So much of the premiere was avaliable in the form of sneak peeks before the episode aired this Sunday – for comparison -also an ABC show in also in its fifth season- Scandal had 2 sneak peeks prior to the airing of episode 1 – OUAT had 6
On average a sneak peek is about 2 minutes long that means 12 minutes of the premiere was online that’s nearly a quarter of the episode- I think that this could be a part of the problem
Well. I’m just going to say it.
This is it. The fact that we didn’t rise from the spring finale and given the trend of all TV shows to tick downward after the premiere, I’m going to go ahead and call it: this is the final season.

That was the theory back in S2 when we used to get 4 peeks for every episode and then they stopped because they thought it was killing the ratings. Honestly? No. Not at this point. People are just uninterested after 5 years. It happens.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I agree, RG: this is it.
What I wonder is, since Once is declining in the ratings, could they have more creative freedom? I remember an interview Bryan Fuller gave about Hannibal over the summer, saying how since they didn’t get huge ratings, they didn’t have to conform as much as other shows. It’d be cool if Adam & Eddy could explore some darker areas (though, since they are within the Disney brand and have highly marketable characters, I have doubts) during the final season.
Oh, and I think they’re going to start the “final season” marketing in the spring, hyping up the 100th episode and having it end on a solid 12 episodes.
