Wasnt Oberman great last night...back to his old smart self,fox news watch out he is going on the warpath against you again.
Too bad Zap2it doesn't cover cable shows. Last Night's episode of Stargate Universe was pretty good.
NOF is holding pretty steady. But still needs to moved away from powerhouse NCIS and Glee. NOF might do better on Sunday at 7:00 or 8:00. I'm sure ABC could find another slot for either the very profitable AFHV and EHM. Not a fan of either but I can see why ABC may be reluctant to move them.
Why does DWTS dip every week on its tueday shows?
My wife and I love Parenthood. The numbers for it have been looking pretty bad. You think it will be cancelled?
@Alex- I read an article not too long ago that was about 4 shows that are doing better than the Neilsen numbers show. One of them was Parenthood. It said that most viewers will watch The Good Wife "live" and DVR Parenthood, believe it or not once you blend in the DVR numbers Parenthood is actually getting around 7-8 million "eyes"....I think it will be around for awhile.
How long can CBS make a decision of how long NCIS with Mark Harmon going to last and I can't keep on Detroit 1-8-7 'cause I thought this crime drama is one of the worst new fall dramas of the season.
My husband and I love Parenthood also, and we're worried about the numbers as well. Hoping they might move it to another time slot where it will draw more views - it is a GREAT show and the actors are incredible!
No Ordinary Family was great last night. The show was truly exciting and action packed, looks like it has finally found its direction.
DWTS was a shocker, not sure what Bristol is doing on the show. At her age the Classy Chealsea Clinton was in college, not dancing for money and a kid on her arm. Poor thing Bristol.
CBS had its normal slow movings hows and NBC is just more reality.
Glee is losing its quality, that show will be gone by the end on next season. So much one can stand seeing great songs get kariokkied. Sad.
