Rob D, I can't believe I'm saying this, but even reruns of According to Jim likely would have done better.

Why doesn't ABC just put on reruns of Samantha Who instead of Wanna Bet?……………I'm sure it will do better and it could get people hooked on it for next season.

I did read the whole story, but *this* site focuses on numbers so I didn't think it worth getting into the intimate details. I'm much more interested in seeing viewing numbers for Dr. Horrible vs. The Mole.

Oh, btw, Wanna Bet? has to be the worst network television program I have ever seen in my life.

If you read the whole Neil Patrick Harris story, you will realize that he mostly watched the show because of his crush of hot fierce newscrush Anderson Cooper.

Who may or may not be interested in that news. Meaning he hasn’t commented.

True, Tom..and some of the “Primetime” airings do well. Last week’s was #13 overall and #9 in the 18-49 demo. Weekly numbers top 20 will be up shortly.

I can’t believe I missed the obvious ‘horrible’ pun. I’d set it up so nicely too…

With those horrible, horrible numbers for HSM, ABC should run the rest of the episodes every night during the olympics, until they series is completed.

If it wasn’t for the NBA Finals in June and Wipeout, ABC’s summer would have been a total failure.
