Amazing, awesome! I'm really happy about this!
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't know they already dubbed it into german. I just checked the channel schedule and apparantly it's so popular here in Austria that they are airing the episodes in a 3-episode-block each Wednesday. The dubbed version of the finale will already air just two weeks after its original airing in the U.S, that's insane! We usually have to wait almost a year over here for the newest season to be translated.
ReplyDeleteAwesome news! I'm happy the show is a hit!
ReplyDeleteI don't know about you guys, but I don't get all this infatuation for this show..I mean it's great, but I was expecting waaaay more.
ReplyDeleteReally surprised with the ratings of this show...could definitely be better (characters, story development etc). Maybe I had too high expectations - and when it deals with the mythology it can get quite good - but most of the time I find myself wondering why I'm still watching. Guess I'll wait till the finale and then decide about Season 2...
ReplyDeleteI think this is great news for every network.Lets hope this brings more New story telling during the summer months!
ReplyDeleteI think there are likely plenty of people who feel the same as us. Just because it's watched a lot doesn't mean it's all those people's favorite show.
ReplyDeleteI'll always wonder how it would have done in the fall.
October here in The Netherlands.
