I rated the comics using a 0 to 10 scale on Last Comic Standing this week, when all but one of the comics performed. The highest rating I could give was a 3, with an average of between 1 and 2.

The first season of Last Comic Standing was good. It’s gone gradually downhill since. Last night was my last episode.

Swingtown has been exiled to the Friday night death slot at 10pm. Its like last summers Pirate Master which they moved then axed 2 or 3 episodes later then aired the remaining episodes on the website only. It appears CBS thinks Flashpoint is more worthy of saving. Though Id say Flashpoint is more compatible with Flashpoint than Sleazy Town is. Getting 1 million more viewers than that awful show helps Flashpoints case.

CBS is doing another switcheroo, this time with Greatest American Dog and the Wednesday night Big Brother. http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=2008…

Hot Pocket, Flashpoint was up against Psych last week, which has about the same amount of viewers as Burn Notice, so that can’t be considered a factor.

Robert I will agree with you, I think the demo numbers in general have to be reupdated and include larger age groups like maybe a 2-60 demo, that will get shows back over the 3.0 demo mark and be profitable for advertisers. More shows are going to average 1s so it better change.

Good retention out of CSI for Flashpoint this week, which fits good out of CSI. This was also a down week for CSI so Flashpoint probably would’ve did better if CSI got a rating like they had the last two weeks. Flashpoint also had to face USA’s hit series Burn Notice, which I’m sure took some of their audience away.

Judging from these numbers “1.7 is the new 2.5″.

Factor in the “redeeming” quality of inexpensive reality programming — if such a thing can be considered redeeming — and I’ll be surprised if Last Comic Standing doesn’t come back.
