Once again, there is no "split".
CBS led the whole night and won easily.
Based on those re-run numbers, ABC must be quite worried about its Thursday. NBC is of course unworried as it knows it will come in way behind by bringing back its losing lineup.
I watched back to back Supernatural episodes. Can't wait for Sept 10.
So essentially, all of our comments on past posts have mysteriously vanished? Well that just annoys me to no end. Typical of Zap2It...take a perfectly-fine way of doing things, and screw it up royally. Thanks guys, really, for making it less appealing for those of us who like to respond to these things. Great way to lose fans.
Aaron R, i agree 100%.

They listened to us on keeping household numbers, they may listen to us on that too.
