C'mon, Mikey -- "18-29 demo"? I think it's great that the Nikita reruns are beating The Vampire Diaries reruns. Nikita's reruns need to move to Fridays soon to promote the Nikita-Supernatural new episodes coming in the Fall.
And why is Love Bites still even airing on NBC? That show is a trainwreck and the sooner it's CXLed, the better.
Nice copy and past job Mickey Mouse, I think you meant 18 to 49 yo demo and not 18 to 29 yo, sad how these stutters mess up when Preta is off. At least the fat girls who write this article when pretty is off are plus sized and too busy stuffing their faces in the morning wt doughnuts and anything that has butter on it, but Micky just didn't proof read. With all these mistake Preta needs to clean house and get smarter writters.
Sad how the great JLo is divorcing her husband. Clearly American Idiol faked their good relationshiop. Spoilester (a/k/a ericthemidget) is really, a tampon louse, a blithering idiot, total scumbag piece of dipshit. Haha lol purr, sad thin.
