Desperate's one of the few shows I watch, and the closer was terrific. They almost lost me last week, however, with the sociopathic kid cringe.

I think NBC made the decision to write this year off after the strike. Likely for cost/return reasons, but we really don't know.

They ordered far fewer new episodes for their scripted series than the other networks did, and so they simply ran out of new shows.

Why would a network run reruns during sweeps? NBC has been running reruns for weeks, he. Although FOX did also with Family Guy. At least King of the Hill, even though it gets much less viewers, tries with new episodes. So sad…
