Other than the time-tested combo of Fox's Cops & America's Most Wanted, it was reruns and NCAA football (which won the night for CBS). NBC ran nothing but re-runs of shows from the previous week with Law & Order: SVU faring better than re-airings of Chuck and The Office. Not much to talk about here, or even much of a list to look at.

What happened to The Office this year? Are the writers on strike yet? Sounds like it’s being written by scabs.

I’m still on season 2 and haven’t caught up to last years shows yet. The writers aren’t on strike yet. While I can’t speak for the quality of this year’s episodes, these ratings are bad because it was a re-airing of the show that aired on the previous Thursday.
On Thursday it had about 8.5 million viewers and it was in the top ten shows for the week in 18-49 viewers.

It's a re-run, and the writer's aren't on strike most likely because the writers are the actors.
