Wow, I'm having Berman withdrawals. I actually miss his NCIS cheerleading.

Ouch,that must be the lowest rated gilmore girls episoad ever,american idol is destroying everything,i think its amazing that somehow the show has gotten even more popular.

Last night was a repeat. I'll go fix that.

Fear Factor, however, wasn't.

Variety is saying 34.8M viewers for AI last night.

Good god.

Were GILMORE GIRLS and SUPERNATURAL both repeats last night because I recorded both of them? And it wasn't by chance the premiere episode of Season 6 that was aired was it?

Gilmore Girls was 6x07 - Twenty One is the Lonliest Number and I think I saw an ad saying that the Supernatural episode was Asylum.

American Idol is sex on a tv stick.

That Gilmore Girls rerun is actually worse than most of OTH's this season. AI is a destroyer. Man, I don't wanna see the ratings tomorrow.

Actually, those repeat numbers for GG are identical to OTH last week, which was NEW. See?

Mediaweek and Fast Nationals Jon. WB/OTH doesn't do so hot in Fast Nationals, it's always lower every week. The 2.0/3 last week was right in the line with what they've been getting all year futon-critic wise. It probably would've translated to about 2.6/4.

Did anyone notice the rating for Commander In Chief?

That's actually a little alarming.

Yeah, holy shit.

And I don't understand why Rodney and According to Jim get /5s and /6s every week and they survive without a hassle, while Emily gets a /8 and cancellation after one episode...

I was going to mention that. Looks like it wont be staying very long if it keeps that up.

SHACK.

You just tried to defend One Tree Hill and its ratings by stressing the difference between fast nationals and overnight ratings. So why are you asking this question?

The hiring of Bochco seems to have been a mistake for the show. I watched part of it last night and it didn't have that same freshness feel that it did a few months ago. I think they should bring back the original show-runner if possible.

...What?

The one airing of Emily's Reasons Why Not was an overnight rating. These are fast national ratings, which means According to Jim and Rodney are most likely lower than they would appear with overnights.

Not to mention they just started going up against Idol, which is killing them.

The /8 for Why Not was Mediaweek not Fast Nationals. These are Fast Nationals, not Mediaweek.

Get it?

Even Legal surpasses it now.

Wouldn't that be more to do with American Idol being 2 hours, though?

Boston Legal seems to have it's own audience and doesn't need a lead in to bring in the ratings. Not surprising, as it's the best show on TV. (that I missed last night! )

Man, NBC's ratings are horrible. This should be it for Fear Factor, not like anyone would miss it. Does anyone know what they're gonna do with Scrubs?

and Commander-in-Chief could end up being one of those buzzed about new shows that just sorta disappears after a year or two, like Joan of Arcadia.

Will this damn show not die?

On a sad note, it looks like Scrubs is gone.

Ok, thanks.


Damn AMERICAN IDOL! But at least they are smart and putting BONES after it tonight. That should help out BONES. I feel sorry for everything in IDOL's path though. I'm anti-IDOL .

Oh, and they should definitely bring back the original COMMANDER writer. The show got really dull once they got Bochco. My cousin and aunt used to watch the show but thought it got stupid (a.k.a. boring) too so they quit.

Woot woot! This is very promising for when House comes back for the rest of the season. Having it on after AI will boost its ratings to all-time highs (not that it needs it; it's proven it can manage without AI... but AI's what got it the huge fanbase in the first place).

Too bad I work on Tuesday nights now... I'll have to start taping House...
