ABC’s The Catch – Post 2

Posted on by

On February 11th, the official version of the preview for The Catch was released on its Facebook page. Its previously noted that another preview was released on Imdb.com that did not feature Peter Krause from NBC’s Parenthood. In the false preview, the character Keiran Booth is played by Damon Dayoub. The two previews are very similar. They both portray Mirelle Enos as a PI who searches for people who have committed high profiled fraud and that her fiancé embezzles millions from her then disappears. This questions the credibility of Imdb.com as a source for it does allow access for anyone to update the information similar to Wikipedia. Another website that premiered the promo video was tvseriesfinale.com which has articles about cancelled, new, and renewed shows. They published their information about The Catch from ABC.com and had the same promo video that Facebook had. Peter Krause has been confirmed to play Keiran Booth on this site as well. Under The Catch blog on ABC.com, there is the official trailer for the show as well published by Derek Wong.

Further research revealed that there was a major recast of the show back in May 2015 where Damon Dayoub and Bethany Joy Lenz were no longer part of the show. This was confirmed by variety.com, usmagazine.com, and tvwise.com.uk. The trailer on imdb.com has not been updated since the change last year which has been giving viewers old content.

Second Chance Post #3

With each passing week, it’s more and more clear that FOX’s “Second Chance” will more than likely not be getting one… The show dropped to a 0.6 rating pulling only 2.24 million viewers. A .1 decline from last week’s .7 rating in the demo.

Interestingly enough, the show has been getting paltry ratings but its social media following tells another story. On Facebook, Second Chance has 11,922 likes — not too bad, but then again a show like Empire has 3+ million. What’s interesting about the following Second Chance has is that the interaction their posts have is nearly universally positive. Especially on Facebook, I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen a page whose comments are universally positive. On almost everything they post there are a bevy of comments saying how great the show is and how disappointed viewers will be if the show gets cancelled. The engagement numbers aren’t high, but the engagement they do get is overwhelmingly positive.
