I agree with what you said Andrea, and that might be their downfall. All I am saying you keep flinging stuff at the wall as you put it you in hopes that something sticks, you may be doing that for quite awhile. Granted the ratings that FOX has on Monday night are not the greatest and what they hope but they are stable. That is something that the previous shows that I listed did not have.

DWTS is hard to beat and CBS is maintaing a decent second with a sitcom lineup. The only thing you can do is counterprogram…and don’t forget to factor Monday Night Football on ESPN.

The only CBS sitcom on right now that I really care for is “The Big Bang Theory.” That is a show I can fall on when TSCC is canned. I don’t care for “Chuck” and the rest of the CBS sitcom lineup including “Two and a Half Men” which is THE popular sitcom right now but still not as popular as “Friends,” “Seinfeld,” or “Everybody Loves Raymond” were.

Speaking of Seinfeld; I have to say that the show is still doing well in syndcate reruns, while others have worn out and dropped off; Seinfeld is been stable all this time.

DWTS peaks my interest if their are ‘stars’ that I am intrested in watching…and this cycle does not impress me like the last two.

Fox has already publicly commented that TSCC and Prison Break are both going to air all the way through Q4 of this year. No promises regarding Q1 of 2009, of course, which means probably no renewal.

RE: MOWE, I’m surprised it did so (relatively) poorly. I thought it was one of the better pilots this season and NBC has been pimping it harder than AMC does Mad Men. Robert– how did it do with regards to the other shows on NBC? Shouldn’t 7.3 still put it in the top 5 for NBC?

Really missed TSCC and PB last night. Didn’t know they wouldn’t be on.

I think you are forgetting The Office.”

Yeah, let’s not Forget ‘Medium’ and ‘Law and Order’

Congratulations.

I want Medium and Law & Order back on NBC.

FOX is not a network that waits for an audience to build. TSCC is toast at midseason. FOX wants a show that can compete with DWTS and the CBS sitcoms, and it will keep flinging stuff at the wall until something sticks.

and you nailed it on the head… i never understood how some people seem to enjoy complaining about shows they don’t like or deem unworthy to be seen… over shows they actually like.

with me for example: i don’t have any desire to see heroes. i saw part of one and it wasn’t for me but that doesn’t mean other people shouldn’t enjoy it. i’d be stupid to suggest it should not even be on the air or that there’s something wrong with people who like it.

all the shows i like seem to have haters… lost, boston legal, snl, simpsons… there’s always a group that for some reason gets enjoyment out of complaining or trying to ruin the fun of others. part poopers. that’s what they are.

Heroes is down, but is still the strongest 18-49 performer NBC has outside of NFL Football (though the gap between Heroes and L&O:SVU is closing, Heroes still has a pretty big lead).

I think you are forgetting The Office.

Someone needs to bring that show back…allthough it really called “Circus of the Stars.” Hey just trying to refresh your memories…and yes that is more of a Circus act.

I think FOX should stick with Sarah Connor and Prison Break and see if they can build, and hopfuly their is still interest in 24…and we will find out how that special presention of the program does in November. They might help FOX build on Mondays and right now Connor and Break at do bring in a stable audience. Does anyone remember “Vanished” “Drive” and “K-Ville?” Those shows lost viewers week after week. “Drive” really tanked.

The writers strike did take a toll on Connor, PB, Chuck, and Heroes, and ABC and CBS were able to captialize on Monday nights. CBS also had an 18-49 boost allthough with the return of Samantha Who? ABC got the 18-49 audience.

Its hard when ABC has a juggernaut with “Dancing with the Stars.” Its their “American Idol.” Meanwhile “Fringe” is geting help from “House” and that makes a nice change than just about every show depending on Idol. 24, House, and Bones got their boosts from that respected show.

but i do take great comfort in knowing that even though… according to you… the professional ballroom dancers on the show have no idea what dancing is… you do. you are the bob fosse of the internet age. i’m sure you could teach them a thing or two about what dancing really is. in fact… put up a video on youtube. i’d love to see your moves.

It’s possible they will be patient with Chuck. I think Chuck has more audience potential than TSCC because TSCC is a dark show about the impending apocalypse, and Chuck is just a fun show with likable funny characters people can probably relate to. I hope it survives but in this time slot, like TSCC, it gets crushed by the CBS comedies, DWTS and ESPN MNF. I love the show, but the numbers are not promising.

Especially disturbing is that Gossip Girl is beating Chuck among 18-34 year olds — seems like that is Chuck’s target demo based on the ages of the characters.

TAAHM is a ratings juggernaught

This season has been fantastic, but yet even without Terminator in the mix last night they barely broke free of last week’s numbers. NBC seemed pretty solid on it with the full season order and all, but I’m kind of concerned now. How bad would it have to get for NBC to draw down the order to 13 episodes?

I gave “Circus With The Stars” one more chance- the announcer sounds huffy- is he trying to be funny ?? –

2 of the dances looked like a JOKE. – Then the “I used to be on Funniest Home Videos Host and stunk at hosting that too” came back on with lame commentary —-Then the announcer came back on talking, I lost my cookies and turned the channel — IS THIS WHAT PEOPLE WATCH NOW?? THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE COME TOO??

The show is laaaaaaaammmmmmmeeee…

2 more things—-ONE: It’s not Dancing – it’s a circus with costumes, clown acts and clown announcers! And TWO: Where are the “STARS”…????

Okay okay – let’s hope FOX does NOT cancel “SARAH… & friends” -and gives me something to watch… for the sake of people who blog here…

think about it… dwts is so frenetic… all the dancing and training and huffing and puffing. i think people at home are actually exhausted when done watching. personally i love it and i’m young and athletic and feel inspired but most of america is fat fat fat and listless.

so you have all these fatty housewives watching all these hot dancers and mostly fit celebrities dance their tight butts off. when it’s over, fans probably feel like they’ve worked out and need a shower or it’s time to eat some entenman’s. i think that’s why the numbers drop so much for whatever follows dancing. either boston or samantha or bachelor… nothing has ever done particularly well percentage wise.

did you notice a few weeks ago on tuesday they followed dancing with abc’s version of the biggest loser. that one did really bad. like 5 million. why? because all the fatties don’t want to be reminded of how fat they are.

and marie osmond (former dwts star fatty) is now spokeswoman for that former kirstie alley fat losing food program.

just a theory

Holly, not sure. I watched Heroes, but by the time it ended my eyes were glazed over. It’s trying too hard…and failing with me. It’s definitely possible that it and the scenes from next week, etc. ran over into the 10pm hour.

I’m sure DWTS had an overrun (ABC does that pretty much every night), so SW?’s numbers will drop in the finals.

B-S Catfight was brilliant!
