Thanks for the estimates, I'd be so happy with 13.5 million!
As for the steep declines, well, I think this is the season where the winners will be the shows that have declined the least. You watching Lost live tonight or AI, Marc?

Here is a quote from Marc in the primetime schedules thread:
"Well, I'm heading to Arizona tonight to do a presentation on the fall 2007 season, so I can't watch live. But my first DVR choice is Lost."

Thanks TVfan300, I didn't catch that thread.

I'm making a common sense conclusion. Thomas didn't turn down what would have been a big move up in power for him, even if he wasn't top dog on that show. Nobody but Thomas is saying he turned it down. You're saying you believe anything a guy in showbiz tells you about his career, when he's been running the lowest-rated network drama on the lowest-rated network for three years. So how about this bridge in Brooklyn I have up for sale on ebay? You interested?
the first sentence is the funniest thing i've read or heard today.
pisher, you weren't there. you aren't there. you don't know. the offer was made. it was declined.
that variety put in an article that the offer was made was a HUGE mistake on their part because offers are made and declined (for any number of reasons) ALL OF THE TIME and the reason they pulled it from the article is likely because it should never have been there in the first place.

DWTS needed more content. Not sure why they didn't have more of the professionals dance, why no singer... you'd think with 23-24 million viewers at it's peak it could have snagged a famous singer to do his/her thing. but the setup of the show was made for an 8pm start. the opening half hour was mostly a recap because they were going to be up against idol. they've done it before. then the show kicks in at the secend half hour. but since abc moved it to nine.. it seemed a little odd.

I understand why they would want to have it at 2 hours for the huge ratings that they know it will get, but come on, make it a little more entertaining and dont rehash so much. I personally would have loved to see a good portion of this show on Jimmy Kimmel and Guierremo(?) they are truly the best thing about the results show. The reason last falls DWTS finale got such huge ratings,I believe, is because it aired on a Sun. night and it was the only big thing on that night, last night their were many choices to choose from and it still did extremely well, but not a well as in the fall, but thats o.k. well take what we can get. My prediction for Lost is that it will get 15-16 mill. There has been so much hoopla on line regarding this game changing moment that I feel people are actually excited to see it.

Which only goes to prove that you haven't read any of Dumont's posts today. Or been to any VM fanboards. Or read Rob Thomas' comments about how there could be a VM theatrical feature.
I don't know what happened. Neither do you. I don't take Rob Thomas' word for what happened. Neither should you. Common sense. Not any VM fan's strong suit.
