D’oh. Of course he meant Trust Me!

For pretty much every week it has aired, the numbers are published in the weekly cable posts but we won’t post the numbers for this past Monday until Tuesday. Given it had a one week hiatus, I’m not particularly surprised it dropped down from 619K to less than 400K, but it is still sad.

For the week of 3/23-29, the 20 different Charmed episodes drew between 614,000 and 1.118 million viewers

If you were asking about Trust Me, the last episode got less than 400,000 viewers and a 0.2 in the demo. I’m going to guess that repeats of Charmed could beat that. (numbers from Travis Yanan on pifeedback.com)

Dingo, I’ll be the first to admit that for many things, our site search available at the top right of the site is practically worthless. However, for “The Haney Project” it’s very useful. There you will find pretty much all the ratings (so far) for the show between this write up:

and the most recent weekly cable top 20:

Has there been any word on how the show is going? I’m having trouble finding anything relating to the numbers coming in or prospects for a second season. How many episodes have been greenlit for season one?

Trust me is in my top 3 must watch shows and I think it’s fantastic. I really hope the show gets picked up for a second season because it’s very entertaining. It’s got some fantastic humor and believable dram segments. I’m actually surprised how much I have liked the show and make sure to never miss an episode (now we get 2 episodes every week!). My other favorite new shows this season is “Lie To Me” on Fox & “Eastbound & Down” on HBO, respectively.

I LOVE “Trust Me!”

I will be very disappointed if it’s canceled. I love how quirky Connor is; his character is fun to watch. Mason & Connor are so great together. They have totally won me over. Sarah is so awkward you can’t help but feel for her; I just love the entire show.

Trust Me seems to be picking up steam. The character development is coming along nicely. I really think this is a no-brainer pickup for another season.

TNT would be better off showing repeats of Law and Order…

I love Trust Me, Tom&Eric are a great couple, and the show has a huge potential. It reminds me somehow of Studio 60, good show with some flaws, being beaten too much by the ratings.
It reminds me also of Studio 60, because I think Sorkin would’ve made something really special from this show.

I like Trust Me. Its got its flaws, but Cavanagh and McCormack play nicely off each other. The problem is that the show doesn’t have a running storyline to play off of. If you missed a week it’s not the end of the world, because they can wrap up what happened with a sentence or two of throw-away dialogue. That’s never a good thing for a drama.

I LOVE “Trust Me.” I will be really bummed if TNT cancels it – Eric & Tom have great chemistry & the whole thing is really fun.

I enjoy Trust Me and LOVE SAVING GRACE! I doubt Trust Me will be back for a 2nd season but fortunately Saving Grace has already been renewed for a 3rd… Holly Hunter is the best.

Great headline for this repot, Robert. Made me laugh almost as much as an episode of 24.

Thanks, I hadn’t checked, but this post answers my question anyway.

@Holly, I’d sent you an e-mail (at the only address I have for you) about your request. Not sure you saw it…

eh, Saving Grace and Trust Me are awful awful shows… glad to see the viewing public agrees.

Thank you, I was curious about how it did without The Closer.

Bye, bye Trust Me. There is no chance that TNT give this series second season…
