Coming up soon on the 2005 cancellation train: Inconceivable.

Ghost Whisperer is doing surprisingly well. Hope & Faith is doing better on ABC than I remembered before but Bernie Mac and Malcolm are doing so poorly that Fox just needs to finally put the aging shows out of their misery.

I'll wait for the other numbers from media week before I chart Friday's week to week, so that it's consistant.

If Head Cases didn't get a weeks head start, Inconceivable would've been first. Three Wishes isn't doing too good either (Fell more then 25% from last week).

And CBS' entire Friday lineup is doing good. Threshold increased from last week, along with Numb3rs.

And I think H&F is doing better then last year. Why, I have no idea.

Mav, here are last week's numbers from Zap2it. You can use them for comparision until Monday.

GHOST WHISPERER is doing very well. However it just reminds me about how bad Fox treated TRU CALLING and that was much better even though some of the writing was awful.

What was Inconceivable about?

Ghost Whisperer...looks like JLH found a career again.

A fertility clinic.

Im definately missing the old 8 Simple Rules from that lineup. Less Than Perfect is supposedly returning midseason?

Dang the ratings for Ghost Whisperer actually went up from last week. Dont shows normally drop from their season debut and a 7.5 is really good for a friday night. The show though is not that great though and reminds me way too much of Medium without the kids.

I really don't know how but ABC really needs to spruce up its Friday night line-up and make it better than how it was before. They should a younger-teenage skewing hour from 8-9 then some comedy shows or programs that brings in viewers from all ages of the family and then top it off with the older skewing 20/20 (or maybe they should move that!)

I don't really mind though because I never watch network TV on Fridays... Fridays are a lost cause. As long as you have the few top rated shows of the night, it's good enough!

"Killer Instinct" dropped from its premiere but was still up quite a bit from lead-in "Malcom in the Middle." KI should remain on the schedule for a while at least. Speaking of Fox's two comedies, I've heard rumors that Fox has all but officially announced the cancellation of Bernie Mac. It looks like they should do the same for Malcom. Neither show seems to have much of a fanbase left. Instead, they should air a rerun of either House or Bones as a lead-in to Killer Instinct. They're more compatible and are also bound to get better ratings.

Inconceivable - The cancellation clock is ticking.

Ghost Whisperer - It looks like Jennifer Love Hewitt will be on network TV for a while at least.

Threshold - This show is holding quite well in the ratings, garnering around a 5.7 every week, which is pretty good for a Friday show. This might stick around longer than Invasion, which had its ratings drop precipitously this past week.

Yeah, no day or time set yet though. I'm guessing it'll come back when Supernanny is cancelled/put on "hiatus," or paired up with Jake in Progress/Emily's Reasons Why Not when The Bachelor finishes up once and for all.

Just as long as it comes back.
Andrea Parker is dreeammmyyyy.

Is Smackdown! doing any better now than on Thursdays? I can't imagine a lot of people actually staying home on a Friday night to watch pro-wrestling. Even when I was a fan of the show, that's just a big no.

its doing about the same.

Can somebody post the Friday mediaweek.com ratings for me, because A)I'm not quite smart enough to figure out that site and B) I'd like to get a Friday chart started.

Thank you.
