I think DH will get 20 mill, but it won't be because the Hallmark movie didn't do good ... on the contrary I think the Hallmark movie will do very well ... they always do.
Originally posted by Marc Berman: A repeat of CBS’ Without a Trace was first in total viewers (9.86 million) and second among adults 18-49 (2.5/ 7) at 10 p.m. Just the opposite was NBC’s fading ER, at 8.62 million viewers (#2) and a first-place 3.4/ 9 in the demo. While ER did build from lead-in Scrubs, compared to one year earlier (Viewers: 13.36 million; A18-49: 5.8/15) that was a loss of 4.74 million viewers and 41 percent among adults 18-49. Last, and very least, was ABC’s Big Shots, at a not so big 5.98 million viewers and a 2.4/ 6 in the demo.

With roughly half of the viewers of Without a Trace, Big Shots pulled virtually the same A18-49 demo count. That is efficient demo-gathering in my opinion.
Big Shots is still the strongest Thursday at 10 pm demo offering from ABC this season.
And last nights episode was superlative, not that it matters, but it was.
You know, I liked Big Shots, but thought it would be so much with Dylan McDermott and Michael Vartan leading the cast. But the reality is that it was not very engaging, and viewers have fled.
So with that in mind, I had to laugh at your reach in trying to say that an original episode of Big Shots getting a 2.4 in the demo (which was 3rd in the timeslot) was a good thing because it came close to tieing a repeat of Without a Trace... Honestly, ABC would have been much more successful if it had stuck with either Men In Trees or October Road in that timeslot, both of which averaged 10-11 million in that timeslot in the Spring and well over a 3.0 in the demo. Now not only do they not have a successful show post Grey's, but both Men In Trees and October Road have bombed in their new timeslots...
Forget Desperate Houswives. Tune in to the Scifi channel on Sunday night and watch TIN MAN.
Forget Tin Man, and watch the 1939 movie with Judy, or even better--read Baum's original novels, which are better science fiction/fantasy than anything you're likely to see on the SciFi Channel (yeah, even Battlestar Galactica).
Honestly, what a waste of Zooey Deschanel. But then again, she's wasted in just about all her roles. Zooey, can I just say--FIRE YOUR AGENT.
The truth is WGA' strike is totally senseless. Why should the writers get more money from the new media sales. They are paied for the script that write and that should be it. If i work in a hardware company i'm not getting more moeny beacuse the IT company sales more, i recieve the money that are stated in the contract. Why should the writers recieve more? I really don't get it.
Robert, it increasingly seems the writers are going to get at least some of what they want, so the strike clearly wasn't as senseless as some people predicted.
Are you really drawing a one-to-one comparison between writing scripts for a living, and working in a hardware store?
How about if you invented a better mousetrap while working at the hardware store, and your boss agreed you'd be paid a few pennies per trap sold at the store, but then he set up a website and started selling billions of them worldwide, but insisted you didn't get one penny of that, because that's not covered by your original agreement? Oh, and I forgot to mention--you don't get an hourly wage. You only get paid when you come up with yet another nifty gizmo your boss can sell, and he isn't obligated to pay you at all when he's not using what you're creating.
Because that's really what we're talking about here, and I'm surprised you don't understand that.
