So much for those "hopes" that it could be a mid-season replacement series.

I don't see why ABC brought back either Scrubs or BOT. Both are going to be low rated.

Those ABC ratings are . Insanely low. This was a complete throw away night for ABC.

Law and Order: SVU repeated really low.

HOD is now dead for CW. Really low ratings. I'd question the reasoning for placing a burnoff of a reality show as the only effort to really keep CW going in the summer (besides the Daytime Emmys). CW could have done more in the summer.

Low ratings for House repeats again. Below 4 million? Mental again did decently considering everything and even grew this week, despite a declining lead in. As I said before, if Mental had a decent lead in, this show could be something for FOX. However, it's potential is just getting buried. For some reason, FOX just wants to dump it. Now it gets moved to Fridays, where it'll be lucky to get above 3 million.

Undecided: I'll be sampling the ABC comedies and Glee.

Seemed like everything was slightly down again last night. NBC is better off sticking to 2 hour I'm a Celebrity's - they could at least move the show to 9pm, where it would be higher rated. For doing absolutely nothing, I thought last night's episode was pretty good, too.

Those are some low ratings for ABC. Those comedy repeats are terribly rated. And poor Cupid - not much of a finale, was it? The CBS repeats also seemed off a bit, as did the House repeat.

Probably ABC. Nothing else really interests me.

At least we learned TWO people will be going home tomorrow!

Modern Family and Cougar Town.

I think NBC should rename the series "I'm a Celebrity, Let Me Stay In The Jungle For I-Don't-Know-How-Long"!
