Nice to see Mickey Mouse is becoming another Copy and Paste Carina!!!
CSI was not on last night. So not sure what she is posting, poor thing is posting last weeks results... LOL
DH, sure beat the fading Undercover Boss, how stupid are the people on the show, who do not get it , that they are being set up.
Brothers and Sisters was again quality last night.
Family Guy and The Simpsons still the funniest stuff on tv.
Wow the NFL puts on a game no one cares about and they still win. Unstoppable they are... Oh yea lockout nevermind.
****,
CSI was on last night at 11pm. Trust me. I taped it.
That said, this article is so wrong. Everything on CBS was pushed back one hour so I don't know where Mickey got his numbers from.
Since CSI aired at 10:58pm, the ratings arent available and this is outside of the normal prime time.
With Preta being gone or taking a long weekend, it seems his assistants have messed up yet again.
Guess its hard to post the ratings! Sad.
LOL... She is saying 60 Minutes got more than 22 million viwers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You got to push everything on CBS back by an hour to get the true ratings. NFL 22.4 million, 60 Minutes 14.2 million, The Amazing Race 12.1 million, Undercover Boss 11.9 million, CSI Miami unknown.
Preta taking anutter one of her famous long weekends. Guess its built into her contract like Regis Philbit. Cept dat divet miss thang preta the divet can choose Friday or Monday or both. What a divet! Haha lol porr thin. How hard can it be to get this stuff rite. Just copy & paste. Now off to Yoda.
undercover boss is real show..some ceo,s do care about us in these bad economic times
DH has been performing fairly consistently this season: 13.1 first week and 13.2 for the second. But this week it SEEMS like it lost a million viewers. Perhaps its a mistake. The Vanessa Williams infused DH has improved the show over the last couple of weaker seasons.
