CBS is sure doing bad on Fridays . Since they can't get 18 to 49 yo to watch there shows , therefore low advertising revenue. But ABC counter programmer weell against them. Good for CW fir using an AbC star to get rating , smart !
Wish FOX would move The Good Guys to Wednesdays with The Human Target would make sense, if not there`s always hope that USA Network picks up the show especially since it`s the moniker "characters welcomed" and the Dan Stark character is awesome..Save this show!!!!
CBS is dominating television ****......
Why are you so ignorant to that fact? ABC and NBC are cowards who don't have courage to put real scripted programming on television on Friday nights...
Even the CW has great shows on Fridays...
I actually think the other networks here other than CBS are the winners as it must cost CBS a lot more money to produce the three scripted shows then it costs ABC or NBC to produce the news magazines they are producing. And CBS was only one tenth higher than ABC. I don't think that is a winning combination for CBS. In fact, overall money wise--it must be a losing proposition. Just my take on things.
Any chance Medium won't be cancelled, following the better fast national ratings for the past three new episodes?
And good to see Blue Bloods' fast national ratings go up after the dip last Friday.
I give credit to Blue Bloods for taking over the same time slot NUMBERS was for the show's six year run. Think Medium will most likely end its own run for seven seasons. I really don't know when the new season of Who Do You Think You Are going to air, it's a really an emotional series.
I wish they'd keep Medium too. CBS Fridays with Medium/CSI NY/Blue Bloods is great.
Hey annoying ugly btch,
WHAT PART OF "GET THE FCK OFF THE SITE" DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND????
Christopher, don't even waste your breath on that pathetic excuse for a human being in *EOW. She's an idiot and we're trying everything possible to get her banned and thrown off these boards once and for all. She's an ABC shill with a 2 cent brain.
I hope medium will never end ...
Love that show...
Count us who are from the other countries :))
