maybe I meant to spell the word wrong just so I could expose which of the people on this message board are actually aliases for Marc? I knew he couldn't let the misspelling go. Now, people can rest assured that Marc does still post regularly on this board, just not under his own name.
Originally posted by Riff Rafferty: They need to give "Big Bang" a big run after "Two and a Half Men" already. "Old Christine," "Rules" and "Mother" have all wasted that time period. Better to build something up that has the potential to bring the extra audience back with it to the earlier hour.
How many times has HIMYM aired after a new epiosde of 2&1/2Men? It would be interesting to see how well Rules of Engagement could do in the earlier hour, but again, CBS might not want to find out that answer.

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see her give Grey's Anatomy the same treatment that Pierce Brosnan gave Remington Steele.

I guess that all 8 pre-strike Lost episodes will run in the current timeslot as there had been mentions that only seven would air now and six would air post-Grey's (which would now be impossible).
They could move the Grey's Anatomy finale up an hour to 8pm and follow it up with a 2 hour finale of Lost.
How many Samantha Who? episodes did ABC have ready to go before the strike ended? I know they had some in the can. I thought it was supposed to come back post-DWTS performance show much earlier than April. Are they perhaps going to air reruns of the episodes that aired after DWTS ended (and rated poorly) after new DWTS in March?
March 17 DWTS and The Bachelor are 90 minute episodes each. March 24 and 31 DWTS is 2-hr episodes, then SW premieres the following week on Apr 7.
I actually had a similar question on the other side of the season. If SW returns Apr 7, that only takes it to mid May with the 6 episodes. I assume a combo of 2-hr DWTS or expanded Bachelor will fill in the last two weeks of the season.

I'm sure DWTS will be 2hours on March 24th and March 31st.

Thanks vlis. Good week for NBC, more along the lines of what a lot of people were expecting them to do in January and early Feb. Knight Rider boost on Sunday was a big help.
Originally posted by nyctvdramaqueen: So, Boston Legal returns in April with 5 new episodes, and it will air following Dancing, right?
Does anyone think the current slide to 7 or so million viewers and a terrible 1.9 in the demo will go up? I doubt, even with Dancing, that BL can ever go back up to 10 million or a 2.5 demo that they had before. So, hmmm..what can we expect?
I actually think it will go right back up to that range -- 10 million viewers, give or take a few hundred thousand, and 2.5 in the demo, give or take 0.2 each week.

Apparently SW? has three pre-strike shows to air and will produce three new episodes per sitcomsonline.com.

I don't agree. I think a lot of shows are never going to return to their pre strike levels.

I agree that a lot of shows will underperform this spring. Remember what DLST did last year.
