That's the first episode of DH to ever go below 20M viewers. Damn you, World Series!

I wonder how high the World Series can go. From a game POV, this one is the first truly interesting series in a while.

Wow, a number of episodes in and DH is still losing viewers. I wonder what number will it settle once the World Series ends.

I think it should hover around 20 million. LAst week it basically kept the same amount of viewers from the week before and increased a tad in the overnights or something like that... This week it dropped quite a bit I guess from baseball.

Brothers and Sisters keeps dropping. I'm starting to REALLY like the show and am glad it's renewed at least for a full season. Hope it starts stabilizing soon... like next week

Maybe ABC would be wise to keep Brothers and Sisters running non-stop with fresh episodes and end it around late March or early April and try out something else late-season much like Grey's Anatomy replacing Boston Legal.

And how many more fresh episodes are we gonna be getting from all these shows? Aren't there usually a couple of repeats before November sweeps?

7th Heaven still sucks even on Sunday at 13th place.. Ouch I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't last beyond this season, maybe less??

It's already gotten a back-9 order, so I think they'll keep it for this season. They're going to try pairing it with Reba to see if that helps.


I know The Office is a repeat this week, and Gilmore Girls is a repeat next week, so I assume there will be several other shows with one repeat before sweeps.
