!!!

I hope Survivor doesn't crush it tonight.

How is Shark in the top 10? That show is a piece of crap.

Wow, yeah, great for The Office.

Wow, when did NCIS start doing so poorly? Bones beat it.

Well, NCIS now has Idol up against it, while Bones now has Idol as a lead-out boost.

'Twas a repeat. New episode this week did 16.2M.

Woot! Go House! Highest rated scripted drama of the week! And that was from an AI lead-in, not a SB lead-in!

Joy

I'll be honest, I looked at these #'s, and it looked like how ratings were like in the 90's and in the past... (ie not the 90 m for the Superbowl, but just in terms of having multiple shows above 21-22 m, which seemed to be where most shows stalled earlier this season until AI, for the most part). The #14 show is at 13.5 m, #8 is at 21.5 m viewers.

Also, that's incredible for House. These shows just work very well together.

Also, take away the SB, and count AI as one rating, and Deal Or No Deal was a top 5 show this week. It hasn't been huge at Millionaire levels, but its been very stable in the ratings, and a huge help for NBC, along with Heros.. (assuming CM got less than Deal, but it could have gotten more)...

The top 3 rated shows for the season to date...

American Idol
American Idol
Dancing with the Stars

They are the only shows with averages over 20 million
