Makes sense that premium channel shows would do best, since that is your only way to see them uncut if you don’t subscribe to the channels. Most network shows show up on some channel at some point and can be seen. True Blood Season One was terrific though, to me.

True The_GodfatherSJP, but how are TSCC fans any worse than Dollhouse or Chuck fans?

Good for True Blood and Heroes, glad they are doing well on this chart.

I’m not quite convinced Fringe is doomed. I think it all depends on how FOX judges the show. With it moving to Thursdays, to me, was a sign they wanted it to stay. They knew it wouldn’t be getting #1 in any demo, but they did it to strengthen that night’s line-up (which it has).

It is was looking for monster numbers, they would have kept it M-W.

Fringe also now is shot in Canada so we shall see how that factors as well. The show is getting squeezed anyway you look at it.

“BBT is the least raunchy CBS sitcom, maybe the execs should take note of that. Not that there’s anything wrong with a good sex joke but it can become a lazy crutch when overdone.”

BBT has the sex jokes but the geeks ways their tastes in video games, Sci-Fi TV, and Science in general balance the show out.

Fringe is selling relatively well but not well enough for Fox/WB to have it sicking around for another season if the ratings continue to fall. Abrams’ other show Alias was able to last 5 seasons thanks largely in part to its DVD sales.

Grey’s Anatomy is selling a lot more than The Complete Fifth Season of Desperate Housewives (same price) !

True Blood season 2 is still high on the list at amazon for pre-sales…apparently they put more effort into the special features too, so that may do even better.

Heroes is still doing great. Lets just hope that the DVR ratings will be also good.

Ventinari, well the first episodes of Season 3 make me think differently…

On topic: Awesome to see Sunny sell that well. The show thoroughly deservers it though, because it is so special compared to the other sitcoms on TV.

BBT is the least raunchy CBS sitcom, maybe the execs should take note of that. Not that there’s anything wrong with a good sex joke but it can become a lazy crutch when overdone. Maybe people like a cbs sitcom that’s at least partially about something else for a change.

I wonder how the Sunny Christmas special will do on 10/20? Now that season 4 is selling really well it’ll be interesting to see.

The Big Bang Theory started to gain buzz last season due to Jim Parson’s portrayal of Sheldon getting a lot of great reviews. I’m happy the show is doing well now.

Phenomenal sales for True Blood

Does anyone know why The Big Bang Theory has suddenly gone crazy? I’ve always thought the show was extremely funny from the very beginning.
