WOW, American Idol still held up, even though it really wasn't an new eps.

Not good for Alias. It should be back to normal when Lost returns next week, though.

That's an ALL TIME low for an original episode of Alias.

Blah. Depserate Housewive/alias would have been better. (And before anyone says anything I said that even this season premiered, my exact words were something that while Alias-Lost is the perfect combo, with A.I. airing opposite maybe it'd be a better idea to have it air after Desperate Housewives).

Let's see how that new show does on Sunday (it looks good...)...

Yep, I'll be watching Grey's Anatomy. The cast is fantastic, so I'm hoping it's good.

I was hoping Vacation Swap would do better, great episode. Alias did terrible. Law And Order did great as usual.

Bleh, at least this is the week of Lost reruns...

I previewed that on ABC Inner Circle;

Anwyway - Alias has been a rollercoaster this season huh? From its highest [non superbowl] ratings ever down to its very lowest. I don't care who takes a hissy fit when i declare that American Idol actually sucks ass. Im getting frustrated seeing all the good shows fall to big, dumb ratings monsters. Im rooting for david whilst the rest of Americas all for goliath. The sooner America tires of the same old same old the better. Honestly - isn't it like in its fourth season? Aren't you guys getting bored yet?

God why the hate. There are plenty of reasons.

I haven't watched since the first year so I am not sure if people are watching for the good or bad singing or maybe the comments from the judges.

But as it is a entertainment reality show - where people can watch some good singers, some funny things - I bet you will be complaining about Idol for a while longer.

Must also be tougher as this is the night where Idol almost kills Alias in the ratings.

Goldmaster; why don't you make a good post once in a while; you think my comment on Idol was just randomly in the same thread where Alias dropped to its lowest ever? No.

Why the hate? Because Britain has been subjected to a good 5/6 seasons of Pop Idol/Stars and then weve also been shown the "X Factor" an identical rip off with Simon Cowell and THEN we have Fame Academy and NOW we have American Idol...again

Its so saturative it hurts.

Not a good post, whatever. BUT SORRY YOU ARE NO JUDGE OF THAT!

AND very nice comments, I hope this is not how you answer questions on your web-site as you need some lessons.

AND ON THE SATURATION FACTOR - THE BEST SHOWS HOLD UP WHILE THE BAD SHOWS FAIL / GET CANCELLED.

WHY DO YOU THINK SURVIVIOR AND NOW IDOL HAVE SUSTAINED. WHILE SOME OTHERS GET CANCELLED DURING THE FIRST SEASON OR IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF SEASONS.

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. SUPPLY OVER DEMAND. ETC.

AND AS THE MILLIONS HAVE VOTED, IDOL TO THE NIGHTS RATINGS WINNER THEY WANT IT - I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND / AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENTS.

Is one of your annoying habits "When your in an argument with michael try and punch his site too"?

Because you sure do have a good habit of mentioning nf7 every time i debate anything with you; is it because your banned that your so bitter? My posts i make here have nothing to do with the posts i make on NF7. Leave my baby out of this.

I just assumed you would use the same logic in both places.
