ABC's thursday is in a deservedly awful state.

They not only failed to promote either Alias or Night Stalker correctly this year; but the demograpic conflicts in both time periods beg the question of "why"?

Hmm, craptacular for everything except CBS, WB and EHC. Though the increase from last week for Joey, The Apprentice and E.R. is notable.

So, Donald is blaming Martha for Apprentice's low ratings? What a bastard. I want to slap him so hard.

Great for smallville,last nights epi was its highest rated yet from this season.

At least ABC increased from last Thursday. Thanks to Primetime Live. How sad.

Smallville is impressive this year. I thought it will die a slow death after last season. The show has risen a lot...

Alias is dying a slow death, but at least it is still faring better than Night Stalker.

Is that seriously Alias' lowest ated episode???

I thought it had dropped below that alot before in previous seasons (assuming you do mean fresh episodes).

Anyway.... this may sound discouraging on my part, but if we get anything out of the show finishing this season it will be a better, tighly wound-up season with everything tying in at the end. They can structure it better knowing where they are FINALLY headed.

Hope it doesn't keep falling.

Well, next week is a World Series game (If it goes that far), then it gets prempted for POTC television premiere, and then it returns with The O.C. back. Around there it should level off.

I think Alias' saving grace is the fact that its still the top viewed show on Thursday nights for ABC - but all it needs is one big primetime episode and shazam. Alias is in the doghouse.

Im really, really pissed at ABC this year. I thought they'd let one of their main staples of drama go with dignity.

Yeah, and on one of the recent epidodes, he fired one of the contestants claiming that she was all about "half truths"
