I think there are many better choices than The Bachelor for that Monday post-DWTS timeslot (Private Practice being tops on my list), but if they insist on that type of show, I think Here Come the Newlyweds is a fresher, hipper version -- as shown by the higher demo and almost identical viewers despite the much smaller lead-in.

1. Movies are not the answer to Saturday night. At least, not movies that all the likely viewers have on DVD already.

2. Miss/Guided is definitely not worth saving. Reruns of According to Jim will perform that well.

3. 20/20 demo is probably not 4.8

4. ABC is being carried through their whole week by DwtS.

And this week: Desperate Housewives too.

The demo for 20/20 must be a mistake.

4 million viewers and 4.8 in the demo? Must be some type of error.

It's a shame that Miss Guided's ratings and demo can't save it. Maybe a Hail Mary will happen a la Notes from the Underbelly...

the show gained almost 3 million viewers and a full point in the demo between the last 2 episodes. With that kind of growth, no way will ABC cancel it.

The key, of course, is to avoid airing another episode this Thursday.

Duel and According to Jim are the weakest links.

great to see Desperate above the overrated Greys.

I respectfully disagree, I think the 18-24 crowd needs a good show like Grey's to stick around.

I'm really surprised to see Lost lower than both of them...I expected a lot better.

I like both. When it comes to Greys though, the storyline was so bad for so long I think its lost a lot of people. The good news for ABC is that a lot of shows have lost people including its competition CSI. It will be interesting to see if everything rebound next fall or not. Am hopeful that what I heard about Jim only airing holiday themed episodes next year is true. However, I was all set for a Friday night burnoff cycle and really watching it and Scrubs die together. Sadly, we'll probably end up with Zach Braff in a cushy slot on Mondays after Samantha Who.
