Unknown: Blue Collar TV, Drew Carey's Blue Screen and Charmed (R)

Overall, mostly a typical Thursday (CBS slams NBC) but The O.C., despite looking bad, is a major increase over Tru Calling last year.

Only 8 million viewers for the O.C.? Even though it went up against CSI, I thought it would at least get 10 million.

I tried to watch Drew Carey's Green Screen during commericial breaks of Survivor, but all there was was a black screen. No sound, no picture, not even static, and only on WB. I thought it was a local problem, but if ratings are unavailable for Green Screen, maybe it happened nationwide.

Looks like Without A Trace is really breaking away from ER.

Wouldn't it be funny if it got better rating that normal programming?

I really don't get what people see in the OC. Everyone seems to love it but I just hate it so much.

its a soap opera without the cheesiness and the fake acting and without the bad music......this has good music, good dialogue, great acting and what not

i'm just hoping this show won't get cancelled which thankfully wont be this season

I watched the first six episodes of The OC, tried to watch it when it came back on, lost interest many times, watched the last half of the finale, first half of this year's premiere. I don't think I can watch anymore, because I just am not hooked. Same with The West Wing. At least if I don't watch now, I might stumble upon OC some day, and I like it. I forced myself to watch West Wing several times, and now I hate it.
