stupid realty show on nbc will never stand agsinst hot show on abc. look like dumb crime show on cbs are fading fast. nobody watch that stuff any more anyway


this my last post of the day. have fun fake meow LOSERS!!!


It will be interesting to see the ratings tonight given that ABC no longer has their crappy DWTS show to boost their ratings. As our "friend" MEOW always reminds us, "stupid reality show" (which DWTS is by the way, NOT sporting events) skew the numbers. Goodbye ABC, nice knowing you!!


I bet CBS is paying Nielson for the ratings. It's impossible that "A Dog named Christmas" had better ratings than Family Guy.


WOW fake meow on at 901 am, loser. ABC did great, DH is truly funny and no wonder ABC wants it for 9 seasons. Another great epsode of the Oscar worthy Brothers and Sisters last night. Quality drama as truly ONLY on ABC and not that older Scwrering CBS. Boring. By the way thanks for coping my writtings tyle, you are Christina when she copied gaga. LOSER.


For the "meow" who posted at 9:45 AM, the television program Brothers and Sisters is eligible for primetime Emmy awards, not the Oscars. I will overlook your typos but you shouldn't confuse the two awards.


You are wrong. sally feld is in it and she has beeen in movies, therefore it is eligible for oscars. LOSER!!!


All you MEOW's are a bunch of Knuckleheads, the first MEOW commented on CBS Crime Shows, when there were no Crime Shows on CBS last night and i dont think Extream Makeover and Americas Videos are dramas. I know, I know ABC is paying MEOW to say this, but still try to be right about what you say. Everyone thinks all the MEOW'S both real and fake are the REAL LOSERS


The football lead-in did its magic on FOX's lineup again, allowing it to perform 10-20% above normal (but still falling short of third place).

At ABC, there must be desperate executives wishing they could get a show to replace Desperate Housewives as the anchor for their sagging Sunday.

And zap2it, way not to fix the posting software. Two thumbs up for not using the Holiday to fix the site! ;)


Rena as always, you showed your true colors. What a mean, know it all nasty woman, telling zap2it what to do. The heat makes you stupid by the hour.
