Are you left handed ? <| sep |> Thatcher or twitch lol <| sep |> I usually initiate requests for date nights she suggested once in the last year for my birthday . I ' d arrange for one set of the grandparents to look after the kids . Make reservations or buy tickets to a show . We ' d have a great time , and I really start to feel connected and happy . We ' d be on the way home to an empty house and she ' d want to go pick up the kids . Wtf ? It ' s like a ton of bricks . This has happened multiple times . It ' s demoralizing . The kids are good and well behaved and the grandparents don ' t mind . <| sep |>. Without the free throws . Lol <| sep |> If you want to understand broadcast television , think of it this way You own a really popular restaurant in a prime location , but you have a set amount of tables that you can populate every night . Let ' s say that every hour or half hour , you offer a different menu item . Some are more popular than others , some cost more , or cost less , attract different types of people etc . For example you can offer a spaghetti and meatballs dish that almost everyone wants and doesn ' t cost a lot to make . Or you can offer a filet mignon that might only fill a quarter of the restaurant and cost a lot of money to make , but the people buying it will pay you a lot of money . Or one hour you might offer a Taco Bell Cheesy Gordida Crunch and no one wants it . You have to figure out the specific combination of meals and customers that will get you the most revenue . Broadcast TV is similar . CBs , for example , has a specific amount of programming slots every night and every week to fill . 8 to 11 , usually . So when new shows come on the air , they might pull in what appears to be a lot of viewers , but the calculation is actually based on how many more viewers they could get in slot and how little they have to pay to get it . Supergirl didn ' t meet that criteria because it was expensive to produce , it was to a certain extent serial in nature meaning it was too reliant on returning viewers , so it wasn ' t worth it for them to keep around . The CW , on the other hand , operates somewhat differently because , going to back to our restaurant analogy , they ' re a cheaper restaurant that has some diamonds in the rough on the menu but they ' re in a shittier part of town . They know they can ' t make the same money that the CBS restaurant does every night , so they find other ways to make money , by selling their programming in its entirety to Netflix . As if the restaurant boxes up the food and promises to sell it at a later date to a supermarket . So they take Supergirl , they move production to Vancouver where it ' s cheaper and where they do their other DC shows and apply the same budget and production standards as Arrow , The Flash etc . The show is therefore cheaper , and deal with having less viewers but yet still be appealing to the CW which can use it to attract some of the audience that may have been watching it on CBS , and use it to leverage their deal with Netflix . TLDR If CBS and CW were restaurants , CBS would be the high priced restaurant in the snooty part of town and the CW would be the Applebee ' s in a strip mall . Both make money , but they offer different quality and different priced products that attract different crowds .
