FOX should air Til Death on the Sit Down, Shut Up slot after it finishes its run, just a thought

It would be interesting to see NFL on Saturday, it would help boost this night.

The NFL and NCAA seem to have an unspoken agreement not to step on each other’s toes. Saturday is college day. Sunday and Monday are for the pros.

NCIS: THREE RIVERS.
I saw the 1st min or two, thought it was CSI.
Man this show tries to hard to be like HOUSE, CSI.
You need to be your own show.
Too bad too i like Carol Barbee and the stuff she has done previously, but this show is one of the worst shows i’ve seen.

I will go out on a wild limb and say that one of the TV networks in the future will negotiate with the NFL to have a Saturday NFL Kickoff Game in the near future. The ratings are too good for both Sunday and Monday night football, and to boost the audience on Saturday nights, one of the networks will look into this venture with the NFL. I am surprised that ABC doesn’t air NBA basketball on Saturday nights after football is done. Sports on Saturdays is the way to go.

SDSU is airing at midnight Saturday night/Sunday morning, but we never see any ratings for them.

Hey, does anybody know where the rest of the episodes of Sit Down, Shut Up are aired? It says on episodeguides that it airs on Saturday, and that there are 3 episodes left. Has it moved from Fox or is it just out of the primetime?

I love Three Rivers, a new medical drama that is so inspiring and educational about organ transplantation. Three Rivers is being told by very talented and charismatic young actors through their compassionate, caring, sensitive and highly skilled surgeons, the organ donors and their family members and the recipients. This is the best new medical show on right now. We all can learn from the fantastic, intense and exciting story lines.

Matthew, even in the final ratings (as opposed to these fast overnight ratings), the numbers for different games aren’t separated in the data we see. ABC may very well get that data, but not us.

In Cleveland Texas/Missouri was airing but sometime in the 3rd quarter of Oregon St/USC it was switched and that game was pretty close from 11-11:40 eastern. Is there a way to find out those numbers?

I watched Three Rivers on Saturday and thought that it was interesting and I do not know why you are dissing this show. The storyline was compling and the actors did a good job. It made me consider signing my transplant form to help others have a new life.

Bill,

FOX aired two episodes of COPS instead of America’s Most Wanted. The MLB game was supposed to air, and when it got postponed, there was no new AMW ready to show, so COPS aired.

CSI: NY originally was scheduled but CBS announced last week that it was airing the Three Rivers from last Sunday last night instead.

Texas & USC will do another split-national this weekend. I think they tend to be the “default” teams for ABC/ESPN when there isn’t an obvious matchup to televise, and of course CBS has the SEC contract.

Also, based on that half hour breakdown ABC (if they could contractually) should have switched away from the Texas game a lot earlier than they did.

Maybe it was CSI: 3 Rivers.

Yeah, it was Three Rivers. I would have been happier with a CSI:NY repeat however.

I saw Three Rivers being on too.

The1337, my bet would have been Berman error. If you saw Three Rivers, so did everyone else. I will edit.

Marc Berman said CSI: NY aired, but I saw Three Rivers on last night.
