How there are still people tuning out of Journeyman (week-to-week) at this point is beyond me. This show has gotten so ridiculously good.
Well it's just your opinion Journeyman is getting better. Obvioulsy many other think it's getting worse

Because we have been programmed that December is repeat month and because everyone has proclaimed J-Man done.
I agree though.. it keeps getting better... with the strike though all bets are off... would be much easier to add more J-Man at this point then not have tv for 2008/2009 assuming the strike wipes out develepoment...
I would think NBC would be happy with choirs numbers?? not that far removed from Chuck at a fraction of the cost...
Speaking of NBC on Mondays... quick look and I'd bet the strike lineup does better than the non strike fall lineup of Mondays...
first time all year an original (CSI Miami) is below a 4 in the demo

Good. Let the networks squirm. Hope your shareholders aren't getting too angry since you've started giving cash back to advertisers, all you other networks.
Isn't NBC the only Net giving cash back???
Nikki Finke reports that the other networks are going to start really soon.
Journeyman really has gotten better as the season has gone on, it is too bad it took so long for them to pick it up and answer questions for the audience. And hopefully Wednesday wraps it up well because there is no way it would survive past the strike it is very lucky it lasted this long.
I think that Choir got some very decent sampling numbers and it will be interesting to see how many stick with it for the rest of the week. I watched and it wasn't half bad.
I am very interested to see how Medium does when it comes back to me it is like Malcom in the Middle I always forgot it was still on TV.

If the strike goes on for long enough eventually all of them are going to have to give the money back. The advertisers have not set up a welfare state.
NBC offers larger platform for USA Network's 'Monk' and 'Psych' as cable hits move to broadcast network on Sunday nights in March 2008
BURBANK - December 18, 2007 - NBC will provide USA Network hits "Monk" and "Psych" -- two of basic cable television's most successful and popular series -- with a broad new platform from which to expand their loyal audiences when it repurposes both series starting with upcoming new episodes to be shown first on USA in January 2008 and then again on Sunday nights on NBC beginning in March 2008 http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20071218nbc01

It's in her article about the WGA not granting a waiver to the Golden Globes that Nikki says the give backs to advertisers are about to start by all the other networks.

Not that we will ever find out.... but I'd be curious how much a NBC is losing vs just swapping funds... meaning the money they are not paying to the WGA, crew etc... sending that back to the ad agencies..
Maybe NBC really will be airing Battlestar Galactica when it comes back in April (or March, or whenever it's supposed to come back)... put it in the Heroes slot!

The fact that NBC is scheduling for March can't be good for strike resolution....

"Duel" aired here at 1:50 this morning. I think WLS should have aired it after "Nightline" and not delay it so late, or at least put it on its digital channel at 7 p.m.
By the way, I remember Mike Greenberg from his days when he was a local media personality here in Chicago, when he worked at CLTV news and at WSCR-AM, the Score. He's a nice guy with a great personality. He should do well with this hosting gig.

Plus, it grew from its lead in and in the half hr. and it was a time when alot of people are tuning out on shows. Not great ratings, but still could have been a lot worse. Hopefully it will do better from here, especially when Dance War starts.
