Saturday night fever: When C4's new show Boys and Girls debuted with disappointing ratings last weekend, critics labelled it "adolescent." While Saturday evening shows need mass appeal, they take time to achieve it, say observers
Article Abstract:
Channel 4's new Saturday night show Boys and Girls has received negative ratings, but the creative director Remy Blumfeld explains that everyone want to be at the big party on Saturday night, which means greater viewership of the traditionally popular channels and not C4. The show has been called adolescent, and mixes the genres of game show, reality show, and dating show.
