@ Donna - maybe u meant, IRRELEVANT? ehehhe peace! :)
NBC is fast becoming irreverant: with Biggest Loser, Apprentice, Chase and "The Event" as its progrums. What a loser. Haha lol porr, sad thin. And Sylvester need anger management. Now off to Yougurt.
Castle's dip could be attributed to several factors. There was a big "Monday Night Football" game that involved the New England Patriots that can siphon off male viewers from shows like "Castle." DWTS's numbers did dip. Also, the numbers for "Castle" last week were actually skewed because DWTS sometimes runs over into the next hour making the numbers seem higher. It takes a few days to sort all this out.
I wonder what caused "Castle" to dip this week...Was it related to the DWTS dip?
What's going with DWTS? This show needs to "stop watching" because the way Hasselhoff & Bolton left. For some reason The Event is going to survive for the next several episodes if they can't keep up the characters or the spoilers.
We had Monday Night Football on in the Northeast last night on ABC, so I'm sure that contributed to a dip on DWTS and Castle.
who the hell watches Mike and Molly?!! bunch of obese fu*ks sitting around eating a tub of cheese watching a couple of obese bas*ards on the telly!! makes me ill.

Now that that loser NBC restricts fast forwarding on its on demand programs, I doubt anyone is watching "The Event" "on demand" either. What a loser network! Haha lol poor thing. Now go for it fake MEO Ws!
