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???

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.

Thanks for keeping the data & board alive Travis.

Wow, I can't believe 11 million people would rewatch TWO AND A HALF MEN. But I am glad they didn't waste an orginal episode of SAMANTHA WHO against it. ABC's future plans for SW don't look encouraging. I hope they change their minds and find a mor protective time slot for it.

JOURNEYMAN...in its death throes its down to nearly DAYBREAK ratings. Not to sound elitest but I have to wonder what's wrong in that a show like TWO MEN...when you really peel down the onion so to speak its basically a show whose plots continually revolve around some variation-forgive me if this is a bit graphic but-some variation of a male character getting or trying to get his member inside some guest woman of the week. That's pretty much what it boils down to and this is HUGLY popular with viewers...where creative shows like JOURNYMAN or DAYBREAK can't get seem to find an audience outside of a small core group of fans.

Wow, haven't soapboxed like that in a while but its how I feel.

So far, yes, and they are making an intelligent move in doing so: Why NBC is smart.
