How is CBS 4th??????
@Nick
How is CBS 4th??????
FOX had the NFL doubleheader and the debate fell on Tuesday, so no NCIS/LA.
Oh, wait, that was last week… they didn’t have thier Monday lineup this week. Same effect.
Why aren’t the Univision ratings there?
Haha CBS fourth.. I love it! Where’s ‘Old Man?’
Biding his time! We have a long way between now & May! HaHa
I knew FOX would be first in Week 5!
But I’m surprised they didn’t write a “FOX Is #1; Ends NBC’s Continuous Streak” Press Release or something along those lines… :p
