you are so right M eow, i agree with you, and not the fakes that will post under your name later
Weak #s for everyone except CBS's BB. Cable ratings must be high.
ABC is the biggest loser with all their stinker shows.
Its scary when Family Guy beats the other shows; very telling how primetime summer has nothing to offer. Fred is right the ratings for cable shows are SUPER HIGH and its because their shows have QUALITY.
Last night was all about MAD MEN. AMC blows the networks out of the water when it comes to quality programming.
What is scary is not only ****/Donna/Pierre constantly posting stupid remarks to show what type of intelligence she/they possess, which is none by the way, for ABC's top show to be the home video show is an atrocity in and of itself. That is just sad! ABC sucks bigtime!
