American Idol is back on the rise. There are 5 really amazing guys this year in David Archuleta, Michael Johns, David Cooke, Robbie Carrico, and Jason Castro. Everyone else was a disaster. And for the 4 guys (not named Jason Castro) that we never saw before, I think after last night we found out why (no personalities, and they cant sing).

I have fond memories of David Archuleta from the Arsenio Hall version of Star Search which I enjoyed a lot more than American Idol. (He won I believe) If you want to see a clip of him at age 12 on Star Search go here.

Oh, Yes. You can get the first 2 seasons on DVD.

That isn't the Family Jewel's video I was refering to.

Then what are you refering too???

I think he was making a juvenile joke about his body parts versus his tv show...

People who had given up on the show tuned in last week (it's A18-49 was 0.3 above its season finale). I've heard it was an "eh" episode (on this board and in reviews I've seen). So those people decided to not come back. Hence the drop of almost 2 million viewers and 0.6 in the demo.

Now, if Jericho can hold steady at under 6 million viewers and a 2.0 in the demo... it will undoubtedly air its remaining episodes, be canceled, and inspire many on this board to declare the CW stupid for not picking it up for season three.

Considering BB demos are't much more for a new episode compared to a precious repeat of The Unit which still had more viewers it does not say much about BB LOL !!
If The Unit was airing new episodes it would easily overtake BB and Jericho in viewership/demos ..

But, if The Unit had new episodes to air, there wouldn't be a winter edition of BB.

BB is only here because of the strike. Its doing roughly the same numbers as a The Unit repeat, but with a potential to grow as the season progresses.

But, neither is worth "Writing Home" about. 6 million is a dog rating for CBS.. on any night.

They pretty much contain it to only Saturdays now. CSI:NY did a couple of weeks in the Thursday-8pm slot, in January, to fill in for Survivor. I think that has been pretty much it for them.

I doubt they will cancel it before the 7 episodes are completed. The replacement would just be another crime drama repeat which is already littered all over their schedule.

I agree and asked this earlier, as did someone else. I don't think Marc checks the posts after he posts his info, because I never see any sort of responses addressed to him. But it is obvious L&O:SVU should be at least an honorable mention, if not a full-blown winner.

Even though I don't actually like the show, I'd have to say that Jericho holding all of BB's demo rating and actually building onto its viewers is a good sign. CBS may actually want to try swapping their timeslots to see if they do any better. BB is what is failing the night, not Jericho.

Yeah, but Jericho could retain more of NCIS' lead-in, and BB9 could then compete for the reality audience when both AI and Biggest LOser are over. TV-aholic seems to agree, per below:

I wonder if a simple switching of time periods for the two shows (on Tuesday) would help both.

At least Jericho is somewhat compatible with NCIS and BB9 could then get the leftovers from the AI audience.

The Unit would easily beat out either BB and Jericho and CBS was stupid by not asking for additional new episodes, Despite all the hype, media, and promos it clearly shows people are either 1) not watching BB and Jericho and 2) the 12 + millions Unit fans are making their feelings known by not watching CBS .. But either way CBS is losing viwership/demos Tuesday night .
No disrespect meant to NCIS which I do not watch but it is a rating winner for CBS but saying Jericho would be better after it makes me laugh.. Jericho was cancelled for low ratings and is still badly struggling .

Are you kidding? They are running crime drama repeats all week long with no episodes left of any of their shows due to the strike.
