Ratings catch that don't they? and even in that Shark Dropped Six million viewers meaning they couldn't hold the NCIS Viewers. Now again read the post from **ATTENTION CBS MODERATORS** on the board that I wrote to you. that is all I ask. and in all actuality. When it comes to viewership. Networks want shows that will hold viewers from one show to the next. I am not mathematically challenged. The 2 hour lead in, gave a better shot for more viewers. if it was a crap show in between I don't think Shark would have had 10 million viewers.

Whether a program is 30 minutes or 2 hours makes no difference. Its not like there were 8 million viewers for hour 1 and 8 million for hour 2 and they added them up. Some people here like Vader are mathematically challenged. Except in regards to the amount of revenue it generates because you can stuff more commercials into 2 hours than you can 30 minutes.

Is it a fact, No. however I would to have liked and see if that would have happened for Jericho. Guess Who, I did post to you in one of the recent posts on the Jericho Message board. Check it out and get back. Not to go against you or anything but NCIS was 2 hours long, and maybe that was the reason for higher numbers.

CBS is brutal !!! LOL ! Maybe the fans will start sending Sharks Teeth to CBS to protest? LOL x 1000!!!<br><br>I cant believe the crybaby on HELLS KITCHEN didnt get the boot. Maybe next week. Isnt he the one sweating into the food in the previews? Eww !! Makes me never want to eat out again.

I think they need to get shows like GG, One Tree Hill and Supernatural averaging over 3 million viewers after a month or two of new episodes or jobs and/or the network itself will be on the line.

Now if only they could perform well in the episodes in between. Although, I was still surprised to hear that the renewal of Reaper was a last minute thing when you consider its repeats did betther that Beauty and the Geek originals. I actually don't think returning at midseason will be a bad thing for the show. The CW having a good fall and DVD viewing could help boosts its audience when it finally returns. Although the CW having a good fall is a big IF. Okay. So both Gossip Girl and Reaper started and finished strong. Now if only they could perform well in the episodes in between.
