Love CASTLE….hope it gets full season pick up.

NCIS:LA is an entirely new show with new characters. The primary similarities with NCIS are 4 letters and they occasionally mention Leon Vance.

I have watched the first two episodes of NCIS, and they were OK. If it weren’t for those 4 letters I probably wouldn’t have watched, so I guess CBS got me. But in retrospect I really don’t know why I was watching this show instead of some other random CSI/L&O/whatever that I usually wouldn’t watch, and I don’t see any reason to keep watching this one.

At least until a few years from now when USA is running NCIS:LA marathons and I suddenly discover that I can’t live without more Hetty.

Of course, CBS can always sneak in a couple of crossover episodes later this year and I’ll probably be stuck.

Why doesn’t NBC reformat The biggest Loser to where it could air in two one hour segments on Monday and Tuesday at 8?

It probably wouldn’t do anything but possibly increase the ratings for loser.

Then, they could air Heroes on Monday at 9 and Trauma on Tuesday at 9. Both shows would see a decent increase in 18-49 and maybe a little increase in viewers. (Heroes would have a good chance of moving ahead of Lie to Me) Heroes may be lost as it’s serial and already in the 4th season, but that move could have actually given Trauma a chance.

RJ – Thats not surprising. Brothers repeats have done better at 7 than originals. It seems FOX likes the show and wants to save it, Til Death may either double up on fridays at 8 or move to sundays too. FOX could move both series to sundays so the schedule could look like this

7:00 Til Death
7:30 Brothers
8:00 The Simpsons
8:30 The Cleveland Show
9:00 Family Guy
9:30 American Dad

The only problem is football preempting new episodes, but King of the Hill seemed to air in the slot without problems for the fall. With the comedies moved to sundays 7-8 and Dollhouse pulled, this gives FOX a good opportunity to air House and Glee repeats.

CBS doesn’t have alot of options now for Miami Trauma and The Bridge.

Fantastic game either way.

People may not realize you’re being sarcastic

Those 5 million people would be about 5% of all the people watching US TV at 9pm last night. A drop in the veritable bucket!

Leno is a family-friendly, inoffensive, middle-of-the-road entertainer. Comedy junkies don’t find him even the least bit funny. He symbolizes how the worst and least funny things always become the most popular.

The Twins’ 6-5 victory over Detroit in a one-game playoff Tuesday had a 27.1 rating in the Twin Cities on TBS, meaning 469,000 households watched on the cable network.

In Detroit the game had a 24.6 rating, no word on how many households that is, plus the national rating is expected to be a 3.6, which would make it the highest one game playoff rating ever.

The forgotten is done like i said two weeks ago.
The new standard will be if Leno beats you = CANCELLATION

Sure the gap is still pretty big but it no longer feels completely impossible that Leno might win a night. If Biggest Loser continues to provide a 4+ in the last half hour and The Good Wife continues to slip the gap at 10PM is going to continue to close. On a scale of one to ten just how embarrassing could this be for CBS? Its got to be a solid 9 at least, right?

Elsewhere ABC are having a horrible night. A really horrible night. The forgotten is now gone the question isn’t if but when. And Christian Slatter’s television batting average isn’t good is it! Dancing is getting hammered by NCIS and Biggest Loser and if I remember rightly by So You Think You Can Dance in the female demo. And then there’s Shark Tank. It says something about Tuesday night’s for ABC that its not out of the question that Scrubs and Better Off Ted might actually improve the average for the night…

Both NCIS’ have slipped a little but are still doing very well and NBC had their one good night of the week.

It looks like Leno is dependent for 2-3 ratings (A18-49) points on its lead-in show. Leno is doing well for NBC. What are doing poorly are ABC’s Castle, The Forgotten, Eastwick, and The Good Wife may be headed that way, too. The 10 o’clock slot is murder because it has the added competition of all the DVRd shows from earlier in the night.

So who will cranky old Letterman apologize to next week? This past Monday he milked his little lurid workplace problem for more ratings by apologizing to his wife. Next on the list should be his son, then his mother, then his advertisers, then his bosses at CBS, then his audience, then his viewers, then his neighbors, the people he buys lunches from, and so on. An apology a week and in 52 weeks, Conan’s ratings will be dust. The ones Letterman really needs to apologize to are his male employees. He is the boss, but he is not giving his male employees equal opportunities to get ahead.

Heck, if the CSI spinoff Miami can survive and thrive with Caruso doing the weekly shtick of “I’m going to say something corny in a dry tone, and then put on my sunglasses” for these many seasons, LA will be fine!

So true. Did he/she really not think that we would know it was him/her? He/she used the exact same phrases, for crying out loud.

The first column is the 18-49 rating–that is the percentage of people 18-49 in the US who were watching the show.

The second column is the 18-49 share—that is the percentage of people 18-49 who were watching TV at the time that were watching the show.
