Wow. I bet Fox is regretting not airing The O.C. this morning.

Well, Tru Calling's not being renewed for a third season.

I bet TRU CALLING will do better next week after The O.C... Even though The O.C. sucks they should have just aired it last night anyway and then only one hour of the excellent TRU CALLING. It would have helped it out.

Tru Calling did better than the last season premiere and better than PP! That's good. And I also think that it will have much better ratings next week after The O.C. I read on different boards that some people wer surprised by seeing Tru, so I'm thinking a lot didn't know Tru was back!

I agree with you.

It never ceases to amaze me how Survivor can somehow still be this huge hit, drawing in even more audience then Lost.

While I assume you're not a fan of Survivor, I am and I can't figure it out either, since this season (and the last few) have really been bland as a whole. Lost is obviously better, but I still like Survivor.

No, I like Survivor, only reality TV show that I ever watch. As you said though, all the past few seasons have been incredibly bland. It has nothing new to offer yet always gets 20 million viewers.

In looking at these numbers - Survivior had no competition in the 8 PM hour.

Great for Without a Trace.

That's what ABC gets for cancelling the fantastic Life as We Know It.

Not that it did any better than Extreme Makeover or Jake in Progress, but at least it WAS better.

That is definitely true, but the same can be said for a lot of shows that get low ratings.
