I am also pleased how it did. Both of the episodes did better then a repeat of Lost, and the 18-49 demo was better then Eli Stone's. I also think it deserves a renewal.
ABC has already renwed shows that will fail badly next season. I dount they'll make the same mistake with Miss/Guided
ABC renewed Notes From the Underbelly and According to Jim from last year, and they're doing worse then Miss Guided this year.
Imagine putting Notes or Jim at the Thursday 8pm slot, I bet they would only get 4 million, if that. While Miss Guided can get 6 million.
And keep in mind, ABC is run by monkeys, so you never know

As a fan of both "Notes From The Underbelly" and "Miss/Guided," I have to agree. "Notes" was struggling around four million, I believe, with a good lead-in. Imagine what the show would do on it's own - without a lead-in! "Miss/Guided" is a great show with good ratings, all things considered, and I believe that it should be renewed.

Where are the "great ratings" for Miss/Guided?
If you read my post again, I said "great show with good ratings." I'm not a ratings expert and I'm rather new to all of this, so my "good ratings" was simply based on the fact that ABC doesn't tend to have excellent comedies anymore, and this show seems to have an audience despite no lead-in. Sorry if this doesn't truly quality as "good ratings," to me, it does.

Miss Guided's ratings would qualify as "good" on the CW or cable, but not on ABC,CBS, NBC or FOX. For those networks Miss Guided's ratings would qualify as "this show will be cancelled soon."
I have no opinion on the quality of the show as I haven't watched it. But the quality of its ratings is very low for a major broadcast network.

Creatively the show's probably not half bad but this sort of stuff doesn't draw in the viewers and viewers is something ABC comedies need. The show only pulled 9 million with a Dancing lead in. Samantha Who had like 15 million with added competition too. I'm not overly optimistic it will return and if ABC was looking out for its future when it came to comedies (which judging by Jim's renewal, they aren't), they would move on next year and go with new comedies instead.

Its chimps not monkeys and yes they continue to make moronic moves. I agree M/G should've been paired with Samantha Who last fall but it wasn't so there's no sense in thinking ABC will do it now. Notes would've probably pulled fewer viewers on Thursday. That was a funny show but this sort of stuff doesn't draw mass audiences. Its time to go back to the family comedies that ABC was known for.
Canterbury's Law so far: EP 1: 5.0HH/8%, 7.720m viewers, 1.7 A18-49 final EP 2: 3.6HH/6%, 5.710m viewers, 1.7 A18-49 final EP 3: 3.3HH/6% FAST National
Based on the minor drop in households, and an A18-49 rating somewhere around 1.3, I'm thinking that Canterbury's Law gathered in roughly 5 million viewers to FOX last night.
Not so bad for a series quickly transplanted from Mondays at 8 pm to Fridays at 9 pm (not listed in paper-based tv guides), and at the very least retaining almost all of the lead-in it got from Bones.

The jury is still out on this one.
I would say it did good last night. Better then most new shows do on Friday nights on FOX.

Both late games on CBS were blowouts from the start which didn't help the ratings past ten for sure. Or, maybe NBC got many of the regular non –bball CBS fans?
