   @RJ Yes, TNT is treating Leverage like a red-headed step-child this year. We the fans don’t understand why this is so. The fans try to promote the show as much as possible since TNT seems to be drawing away from the drama for the “reality” game. I wish another network would pick them up and appreciate a really great show and cast.

   Falling Skies is basic cable’s number 1 show this year again I presume?

   I thought it would have been DALLAS but that has fallen like a rock….Down from 1.5 to a 0.9 … quite dreadful

   @Metangel

   Given the dreadful ratings of The Great Escape TNT might rethink their decision.

   Of course, now Nickelodeon will post its ratings for random Spongebob episodes. Anyone notice that last Sunday, Nickelodeon didn’t post any ratings for Spongebob (while the DirecTV fiasco was going on), but now with it back, it is posting ratings for different Spongebob episodes and even a rerun of the Fairly Odd Baby special.

   Great news for FS. I wasn’t crazy about it at first but I’m starting to like it more and more.

    At least USA was able to save face by preemptively pitching POLITICAL ANIMALS as a “limited series event.”

    I really don’t understand how True Blood is holding on to it’s audience. It’s just totally awful. Like, really, really bad. There are like a 100 characters, disjointed stories, plots and mythologies that keep changing from episode to episode and makes no sense. It’s one big mess. No wonder Alan Ball is leaving. Why do so many people continue to watch this nonsense?

    Breaking Bad on the other hand, is continuing it’s awesomeness. It deserves more than a 1.2.

    @ Curtis. You make no sense. I don’t think you even understand how these ratings work. It is not Nickelodeon who posts the ratings, it’s Nielsen’s ratings. They aren’t just posting “random episodes”. They post the top 100. And of course the Viacom/Directv fiasco affected last weeks ratings, that’s 20 million people without access to Viacom channels.

    Why do people post here if they don’t understand any of this?

    Have to wait a little while for that though.

    ‘Falling Skies’ is steady there at around 3.4 and with a 1.2 rating , good for them. Although I think ‘Falling Skies’ would be able to take quite a punch before things turns critical..

    ‘Breaking Bad’ loosing some, not a surprise, but I think it will be steady or rise slightly (but if you ask me; the show has always been overrated: Though thats only my personal opinion of the show)
