If that's still on track for May, it's hard for me to fathom there being no TSCC as an on-air promo in the spring. Whether this is achieved by bouncing the show from the Fall to the Spring after a couple of episodes or with more episodes, it's hard for me to imagine it not being on the air this spring.

I saw the teasers for Chuck during the Olympics coverage. NBC is pushing it pretty damn hard (and, intriguingly enough, isn't pushing Knight Rider at all) but I have to be honest -- the teasers looked jumbled and I couldn't understand what the show was about. If TSCC gets canned after 13 eps this season and I'm stuck watching Dollhouse, Knight Rider, and a watered down 24 starring Janeane Garofalo and a neutered Jack Bauer, I'll be devastated.

It's going up against DWTS and Big Bang Theory/How I Met Your Mother, and unless I missed a schedule change by NBC, Chuck. The crossover for the CBS/NBC and FOX viewers for that hour are quite high so DVRs will be working overtime. It will be interesting to see how it goes.

Not may will care to watch a repeat over a BIG event that is around only once every 4 years. Terminator should do OK, but a lot will depend on how well those first few episodes are done and the storylines developed. Hopefully, it will have done the right re-tooling needed to get about 8-9 milllion viewers, on average, and pull near a 3 in the demo. If it does, it will get another season.

I think ABC and CBS simply ran their usual Sunday night repertoire opposite the Olympics coverage. Still, that's gotta hurt. I mean, poor TSCC got freaking crushed.

I'd rag on FOX for airing it vs. the Olympics at all, but I suppose it feels obligated to air all the reruns prior to the new season in the fall, and I can't fault it for that. I'm sure that the numbers in the fall will be better with the new episodes, and while it will have competition, its competition won't be nearly as dominant as the Olympics.

No, the Womens Gymnastics was taped for USA Primtime broadcast. The Announcers said a few times that it was Sunday Afternoon (China Time), or close to 18 hours before the primetime window.

When NBC is live, you will see the LIVE graphic next to the NBC logo in the upper right of the screen.

I know the swimming was because of the big "LIVE" in the corner. It just struck me as odd that something that would interest little girls would be on so late...nine thirty central. We start school this week and I know some of my 8-10 year old students wouldn't want to miss the gymnastics. That is why I was wondering if it was delayed because of the live swimming.

The only cable ratings we get directly are the top 40 shows based on household rating for the week. We get info for the prior Mon-Sun on Tuesdays and are allowed to post the top 20 shows, which we do every Tuesday. We often see other information for shows which do not make that list via press release, other websites or the networks themselves letting us know, but none of that happens in a way we can "put it into production". I am myself curious to see how Monk and Psych did on Friday night against the opening ceremonies, but we may see that info in the weekly top 40 if the shows weren't hurt too badly by the competition on USA network's mothership.

The only cable ratings we get directly are the top 40 shows based on household rating for the week. We get info for the prior Mon-Sun on Tuesdays and are allowed to post the top 20 shows, which we do every Tuesday. We often see other information for shows which do not make that list via press release, other websites or the networks themselves letting us know, but none of that happens in a way we can "put it into production". I am myself curious to see how Monk and Psych did on Friday night against the opening ceremonies, but we may see that info in the weekly top 40 if the shows weren't hurt too badly by the competition on USA network's mothership.
