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?

Did Clooney break his contract in order to leave ER?

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.

I agree that BB is underperforming what CBS expected. Not sure of your second comment though. Of all the Networks, CBS has made more RIGHT decisions than the other nets.

I don't know. Fox recently has given CBS a run for their money and the new Fox spring schedule is just about perfect in my book.

I agree -- FOX's upcoming schedule looks very strong, and a couple of shows that critics have dismissed stand a better chance in my view. If even a couple of those shows get 10+ million, FOX will truly become formidable next Fall, even without Idol.

I agree again, mushu. in fact, Gizzie did lose me as a viewer for a while. Once that storyline is put to rest (I was going to say put to bed, but considering the storyline, that would be an oxymoron, right?), let me know so I can go back to enjoying the show I once loved.

I don't think HIMYM has to pull better numbers than BBT, but they better be pretty darn close. If the drop is beyond 15-20%, HIMYM may be a gonner.

Why would HIMYM have that kind of drop when it doesn't get that much lower numbers than BBT in the lower HUT slot?

I'm not saying it will. But IF it were too, then its a goner.

Well its pretty much over. It was never going to work, so my biggest question was why ever try it in the first place? I still see George and Callie ending up together.

Their Monday lineup will probably bomb yet and I don't see either midseason comedy panning out (especially Jezebelle James on Fridays) but other than that, I'd say it was all good moves.

Bones and House will bomb on Monday nights?

I think he meant the 1st Monday lineup, thru April 7, as follows:

Mondays (March 10-April 7)
8:00/7:00c - "Canterbury's Law" (New Series)
9:00/8:00c - "New Amsterdam" (New Series)

Still, I actually liked the previews for both of those shows. Julianna Marguiles looks good in Canterbury, and New Amsterdam looks like a reimagined Angel. Too bad they don't have Bones as a regular lead-in to get the David Boreanez fans to sample it...

Here's the rest of the Monday lineup:


Monday, April 14
8:00/7:00c - "Bones" (New Episode)
9:00/8:00c - "New Amsterdam" (Season Finale)

Monday, April 21
8:00/7:00c - "Bones" (New Episode)
9:00/8:00c - "House" (Repeat)

Mondays (April 28-May 19)
8:00/7:00c - "Bones" (New Episodes)
9:00/8:00c - "House" (New Episodes)
