OTH might be a decent lead-in for a new show on CW, but of course that new show must be good if CW wants to save itself

Anyway congrats for OTH this week

BL is becoming a modest performer for ABC.

Don't forget Supernatural. The best scripted performers on the CW are Smallville, Supernatural, and One Tree Hill.

Peace!

OTH failed as an 8pm lead-in show. It has always pulled it's best numbers as a 9pm show. Even on the 2 hour premiere this year, it grew in the 9pm hour.

If The CW is determined to keep Gossip Girl next season (which is ... dumb), why not do a Gossip Girl/OTH pairing next year... against a male-oriented night, like Monday Night Football? Counterprogramming?

While breaking the 3 mil mark is definately a good thing for OTH - I'd hardly say that it had the WORST competition possible this week. Idol could have been 2 hours, House could have been new...there are ways that the competition could definately have been worse.

Perhaps OTH and GoGi should go together...though I heard that last time OTH was made a lead-in it didn't work out too well.

As a fairly new viewer of Boston Legal (only began this season, before that, once in a while)...can someone tell me if that woman who was singing last night during her case comes back often? She was a hoot. I never thought I would hear a random outburst of "Xanadu" in my life.

Boston Legal built almost 4 million viewers from lead-in Carpoolers. While it may not be a winner, it is certainly not a loser. ABC has done its best to hurt this show by replacing it needlessly (and usually without much warning) with news programs or repeats of new shows (most recently Cashmere Mafia). The show would do better with a decent lead-in and regular scheduling. ABC should consider moving the show back to Sundays at 10pm where it did very well.

I really don't think GoGi would be a very strong lead-in, unless your thinking of picking up people due to a stronger lead out show.
