Was Melrose a rerun, Because those numbers are bad.
Melrose Place was a return last night, so excited about Nov 17th when TV legend Heather L takes over. Looks like CBS gave up again DWTS and did another rerun. Not sure why anyone watches those boring colon drama s of each other on CBS. Good for the forgotten for almost beating the good wive. cant stand julliana margalise, miss thing was too good for ER but now she has a dude of a show every year, boring.
Nobody I know admits to watching NCIS but it seems like everyone in the country is.
Why? It's so frightfully boring.
MEOW - you have got to be the most ignorant individual that I have ever come across. Do you ride the short bus to your computer every day. Your grammar, spelling, insight on the topic at hand are atrocious. Get a real life - IDIOT!!!
I wonder why CBS decided to go all-rerun this early in the season?
Can I make a plea for civility on these posts? I love that you all care enough about shows and how they're doing to contribute to the comments, but the flaming is getting a little bit out of hand lately.
Argue, debate and champion your favorite shows all you wnat. But please, post under your own screen name, not someone else's you've co-opted, and leave the personal stuff out. Thanks, and thanks also for coming here for your ratings info.

Because CBS viwers wont notice a rerun of NCIS vs a new one,LOL... talk about being on a short bus CBS viwers. so sad, how theyw ill watch anything. Either they dont care or the show is so bad that they dont notice a return vs a new one. So sad , poorthings. and they say I am Ignorants, try CBS...lol
It looks like we've got some CW street teamers on board...
Don't worry, zap2it clearly approves of empty hype so you have nothing to fear from them.
Now about Melrose Place, it was heavily advertised (at least in L.A.) with extensive outdoor campaigns.
It failed from the start precisely because it looked like Gossip Girl on Melrose Place.
Of course, it's always karmic to see CW undone by its own ageist approach. ;)
While NCIS continues to impress, NCIS LA and The Good Wife are sliding a bit. Where they'll stop will essentially be the determinant of whether CBS has an OK season or not.
At ABC, The Forgotten shows no sign of life (but that won't stop ABC from saying they're having a solid Tuesday by some weird measure).
Melrose Place is at lows that are impressive, even for CW (maybe it's because it's a clone of a clone of Gossip Girl...)
Finally NBC, still can't buy 10 million viewers... :(
I like for good utre grat day. diva hthr lockcleer soot gon t mak at hit for melorose palace. i cant wat. onm tueesdt t wll b shows too beet an vry dya good it gtart :)
