Biggest Loser was great last night. What will NBC have on in it's place after it's finale next week? Was somewhat dissapointed Parenthood was not on.
Finally some holiday cheer for NBC. TBL and Sing off of signs of hope. As for ABC, NOF managed a 1.9 in the young adult demo, so did the latest airing of Castle. PLEASE ABC, RENEW NOF! My entire family loves it!
M E O W= was CBS even on last night? off to mcdonalds
I wish Preta would proof read Han's work, in the article she says its the series finale, but it is the season finale. Why would AMC cancel there highest rated show. Sad how she always struggle with the articles. Like the ones se wrote about a Robert Paterson Pillow and Britney Spears' tampon.
"The AMC drama finished its six-episode freshman season Sunday night (Dec. 5), drawing more than 6 million total viewers in the 10 p.m. hour. With repeat airings at 11 p.m. and 1 a.m., the total audience number swells to 8.1 million.
The real boast, however, is the 4 million viewers in the 18-49 adult demo, the largest of any drama in basic cable history.
Overall, the season averaged 3.5 million in the 18-49 demo, the best average of any basic cable drama going back to 1993.
In the series finale, the group of survivors discover that their sanctuary at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is not the paradise they imagined."
Where is Parenthood? I hope they haven't cancelled the show.
Nice Xmas music on Glee but one of the worst, most stupid episodes that would appeal to 5 year olds. This show is so overrated!

In case you did not know HELLO! Parenthood is moving to Mondays on NBC beginning in February while Law & Order: Los Angeles will take over the time slot held by Parenthood beginning on February 8th and Chase moves to Wednesdays starting January 12th. I wish the NCIS shows having reruns STILL boring and CBS doesn't care less.
Those old peple need to rewitch CSI: Navy and CSI: Navy LA even in reruns beeclause even those simplistic shews r too complexicated for them to "get" during there first vewing. Haha lol porr, sad thins! Noww off to Yaourt.
