Saw where Univision is beating NBC and the CW in some slots. Is UV affiliated with one of the majors ? Shark and WMC both canceled but Eli Stone got renewed... guess I'm lucky to catch one out of three the way these networks are lopping off heads. Fortunately for all of us, According to Jim is still going strong...lol. Went with the link to Berman’s numbers in your story (figgered there would be revisions).

Who cares about it's demo! When will the networks realize that new crime/court dramas are heavily favored, and Law and Order & Boston Legal are going down in ratings and are probably gonna end soon. We need new, fresh court dramas. CBS has just lost me as a viewer. All I have to say is, wow to CBS for canceling Shark, which was averaging 10.7 million viewers. Who cares about it’s demo!
