Somebody, please kick Berman in the balls. His Anti-Lost brigade is really, really pissing me off. "Sorry Kirk, but I am NOT alone. Because of that, I rock!" GAGAGAG

As for the ratings, CiC dipped a bit from last week, but no worries. And NCIS grew again.

Heh. He was doing so good for the past week! Then that. But, I don't want to talk about that all the time... don't want people to get upset with me *stares at Rod*.

Looks like ABC has another drama winner to boast about in Boston Legal. It was a bit sketchy for a while, but I think that it's doing really well and should stick around for a while.

I feel the very same way about Berman. I just needed to rant about that bit. Expect to shut up about it since tomorrow is a repeat.

And can BL really be considered a comedy anymore?

I didn't catch it... did he say something specific this time?

His reader feedback today was about Lost, One pro-Lost, which he quickly shot down with a Anti-Lost one, which he said was "Well Said! And very true." Gag.

He bet he wrote that second letter.

Wake me up when NCIS is not "underrated" anymore. *Yawn*

WOW!

Biggest bull in the world!!!

The second writer is obsiously living in another world.
"He can get away with one season but not two"

Ummmmmmm... in case you haven't noticed, the ratings for the second season have been on average 4+ million viewers better. Even if it dies back down to Season 1 levels after midseason, the average will still be higher than last year's.

Lost is a cult show. Many people don't understand this. Cult shows have very loyal and consistent followings. It's just not registering with so many people because they have rarely seen such a huge cult hit. I agree that it's the type of show that can alienate alot of viewers and audiences along the way because it might be stretching the mysteries out too long for some and they become tiresome. But there are many points that reaffirm its continual and eventual success. 1)They have set up SO many questions and mysteries that every season, some of them are bound t get answered. 2)the cast and appeal is so diverse that there is something that keeps everyone watching, even if they miss episodes here and there 2)the mythology and msyteries have been among the most addicting mass media crazes in a long time 4)even if it sheds a few million viewers, or even 8-9 million along the years, it's still left with the core oyal 13-14 million viewers which is still considered an amazing success for a cult following.

He agreed with someone who thinks SUPERNATURAL is better than LOST. Wow! I mean lets compare HOPE AND FAITH to ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT!

Fox's lineup finally returns to normal next week as the likes of "Bones" and "House" return. I wonder what effect the hiatus will have on their numbers?

No ratings today?

nielsen hasn't released them

That's racist!
