We'll know in a week. I don't understand why they burned those new episodes on a low viewership night either, but if I HAD to go out on a limb, it might have been an entirely non-economic decision to boost good will to advertisers. The conventional wisdom is that advertisers are freaking out about the potential for ratings decline as the strike continues, maybe this was a bone ABC could throw now, during an important part of the selling season, that may yield dividends in advertiser attitude later. Or it might just have been a really bad decision. I completely agree. +10% in DVR viewing is a reasonable guess, the huge numbers are highly unlikely. We’ll know in a week.
