I see "Hit me Baby One More Time" is a rousing success. :razz:

What happened to HIT ME? How could it drop so much?

Maybe the NBA Finals had an effect on it?

I can speak for myself as a viewer. I thought it was a variation on American idol. I tuned in and what did I see? 50+ year old guys singing songs that they released 30 years ago. Ehh I switched channels.

The Cut is definately not a cut above. Does anyone here watch this Apprentice rip-off?

OC keeps falling every week, it's not doing very well in reruns.

Serialized shows don't do as well in reruns.

Look at 24, Lost and Desperate Housewives.

I think it's because the acts have gotten significantly weaker every week.
