According to we-all-know-who, he calls Supernatural a "good fit" with Gilmore Girls, but calls The Office a loser with lead-in Earl. Supernatural held just 62% of Gilmore's ratings (this is a calculation I did, which may very well be incorrect), while Office held around 68% of Earl's ratings.

And, since no one posted the weekly numbers from last week, the Housewives are CLEARLY out of the running for highest rated and most watched show this season, but definitely a negative here would be that in the 18-49 demographic last week, CSI was just 3/10's of a rating point behind the Housewives (Housewives had a 10.2, while CSI notched a 9.9 rating among adults 18-49 demo.). That small gap between Housewives and CSI definitely doesn't look very good, especially in November sweeps.

ABC should put an end to its comedies. Its really dragging them down. Also SVU and GILMORE GIRLS continue to impress.

Nice spike for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Glad to see that Boston Legal (The best show on television today!) isn't losing it's viewers just because Commander in Chief is slipping a bit.

I'm not sure why Earl goes up and down so much, not counting reruns.

Wow, look how close House's ratings are to Commander-In-Chief!

I wonder if CIC would slip more and House would overtake it? The buzz for this new show is slowly fading.

House sure deserves to go as high as possible. What a fantastic show.

House is the definitive reason why Commander in Chief is now performing around 1.5-2 million below its standard. So, he should stop saying "below average" for CiC. As long as "House" is here, that's as average as its going to get!

WOW at NCIS, still the biggest question mark in tv ratings.

Is ABC just kidding with Rodney?

I mean, honestly.

This ridiculous comparison of CSI and Desperate Housewives needs to end.
Now.


P.S Rodney is possibly the worst sitcom ive seen from America yet.

I've never seen it. And honestly (maybe I just don't may attention well enough), I think I've only seen one ad for it. Really.

I have no idea who Rodney is or who's in the show.

Rodney stars some former X-list comedian named Rodney Carrington (?) or something.

Rodney, According to Jim, Yes Dear and Still Standing are all toss-ups for worst sitcom on television. I'd really like to know how the inexplicable Yes, Dear has managed to stay on the air for six or seven years by now.

Why? Before the season started, everyone weighed in on whether or not Housewives would ever stay above CSI in the ratings, and many were convinced that at least the first episode would do better than CSI. I'm just comparing the two now that we're well into the season, and Housewives' chances of beating CSI are slimmer than NCIS beating CSI. *shudder*

I watch Still Standing on and off but generally really like it. It's funny and I love Jamie Gertz. I'm glad it's on. I watched Yes, Dear in the first season and found it hilarious, and then watched it on and off since. It isn't up to the quality it once was but is still amusing and watchable. I hope both this and Still Standing stick around.
