Same Old, Same Old: NBC is a disaster area, so is CW, with Gossip Girl yielding yet another ridiculously low rating performance, CBS needs new blood and Accidentally ain't it, so does FOX and Lie to Me ain't it and ABC really needs a show that doesn't lose over 40% of DWWS.

Funny how Rena posted this 1st! And then her post was plagiarized!

FOx's sprots reality programming is now over so they will be settling into 3rd or 4th place until overrated American Idiot, oops Iodl starts in January. DWTS is a rockstar show that rules Monday nights, and Castle will soon be the #1 show on TV. CBS old fart shows still attract awdiences, hard to understand why.

The folks at Zap2It should be ashamed, stealing my story!

Here it is :)

The reason CBS is always on top is that the crime shows are hip and made for the younger people as well as the middle age folks. CSI Miami ws very cool Monday night which is why Castle will be cancled unless the time slot moves.

I love Castle and I am sick of Miami. Is it a crime show or a soap opera? Ratings have gone up for Castle this week than it was before so that makes me happy. At least Castle is something original and a bad copy or the regular CSI (much better in my mind) than Miami.

Heather Locklear and Taylor Lautner definitely improved Jay Leno's ratings, it's up over 1 million and reached a 3 in the 18-49.

I watched Castle this week also. I love the slap humor and twists of the show. Burned out on CSI:Miami. I think the show that will or should get canceled is Jay Leno. I am waiting for Ugly Betty's demise. That show jsut needs to go away period. Sorry Betty lovers:(

You are STUPID MM, Ugly Betty is a great show... You go away.
