Fast National ratings for Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2010CBS had its full drama lineup in place Tuesday night with the premiere of "The Good Wife," and the network cruised to an overall ratings win for the evening.

I liked No Ordinary Family, but Glee is an awesome show..hard to chose between these two. I think Biggest Loser suffered from last weeks overly drawn out eppisode. Raising Hope is very funny. Hope it continues to do well
Running Wilde and Parenthood are dead. I'm glad Raising Hope stayed firm even though last night's ep was not as well-written as the first ep. That show has such promise.
Biggest Loser is fading this year. I bet a lot of people (like ourselves) got turned off by last week's excessive focus on contestants sob stories (why me? why me?) that they didn't return last night.
The Good Wife rules!
No Ordinary Family got off to a good start...the cast is very likable. It is hard to choose between that and GLEE.
I think Biggest Loser was down because of the overyly drawn out episode last week. Raising Hope is VERY FUNNY and should continue to do well.

I might be a little off, but that means Detroit 1-8-7 kept most of their viewers from week 1 to week 2, right?
What happened to Parenthood? Last year, the ratings looked so promising. I definately thought the hour was going to be split between that show and The Good Wife.
Life Unexpected should have higher ratings. CW needs to promote it more. This show has so much potential. Its a really amazing show!
No Ordinary Family is decent not great by any means but it has promise. I am sure it will drop a bit next week though.
Life Unexpected should have better ratings! Its an awesome show and I hope people realize that soon before its too late!
Great, Raising Hope still draws ratings. Just what we need, another terrible "comedy" taking up space.
