I love Supernatural. I wish it was on a different night though. I watch Supernatural in real-time and watch Grey’s and Burn Notice online.

Maura Tierney’s last episode on ER last night was a terrific piece of television! ABC should cut a deal and take ER from NBC,and put it in the same time with Grey’s Anatomy as its lead in. It will be a big hit onece again. That show is still good enough to stay on the air and 10 mil viewers is still solid.

Robert,

I understand that 11th Hour bucked the trend and was up. I also expected CSI to have that 20% drop due to former viewers tuning in to see Warrick die. I expect another increase after Grissom leaves.

Angelcrest, I understand that the first four eps of 11th hr are scene by scene remakes of the original UK series. That could account for the flatness. I expect the series to expand itself afterwards.

I was really hoping that 11th Hour would be a better show, because I like Rufus Sewell, but I have seen 1 1/2 episodes, and so far am not impressed. I am not sure what I don’t like about it, but I think I was expecting more… presence, I suppose, more oomph… from Rufus.

I wonder if ER will still get ratings when it doesn’t have SNL as a lead in? I doubt it.

I still can’t believe SNL on Thursdays is doing so much better than The Office. Stupid Palin revitalizing SNL.

Nice rating for Ugly Betty I think its safe for another season and not bad for Grey’s.

Too bad for Life on Mars from 1st last week to 3rd this week.

ER is getting ratings again – shocking!

I will share when I have seen the fast affiliate data. I want to see the viewer numbers before freaking out. But yeah it looks like just about everything was down based on comparing the early metered market for last night to the early metered market numbers for last Thursday night. From CSI (down 20%) to Supernatual (down 10%) to most everything in between. I can’t put all of that on people flipping over to watch the Red Sox go down (I’m looking at you, Bill Gorman) only to see them rise up like the Phoenix from the ashes…

ABC.com’s viewer is the crappiest.

Yep. I can never get anything to work. I always get errors. ABC really needs to get on Hulu.

I watch 11th Hour because I love Rufus. He’s got the most gorgeous eyes!

I don’t hate on Life On Mars. Too bad these two shows compete head on. I might have to watch LOM live instead of 11th Hour however. ABC.com’s viewer is the crappiest.

From another Julia- I would like you to share too Rob! Was viewership down across the bored this week? Looks that way… Poor Life on Mars!
