However, I know quite well that there are often several different versions of the same #'s, and in any event, it's just an ESTIMATE of the audience. It's never EXACTLY what Ma Nielsen or any of her acolytes say it is.
I used to watch the Dead Zone, but lets be honest here...the longer the show went on, the worse it got. And I watched The 4400 on and off, it was on for what 3 or 4 seasons, so I think it had a good run.
Originally posted by TV-aholic: Looks like Duel will be a decent performer. Not great numbers, but not horrid either. Of course with ABC's recent reality/game show track record, anything over 4 million is GREAT !
I've been watching "Duel." It's a fairly good game show--you have to have some brains to play it. A lot more, say, than selecting briefcases.
I gave up on Dead Zone awhile back. I thought they had an interesting ongoing storyline with the politician who was eventually going to cause the earth's destruction (an interesting character as well), but they never moved on with that and then that whole storyline disappeared for month's at a time. I got a bit disenchanted with that and never rejoined when the show returned the past 2 years.

Here is the same list again ordered by the dropoff from their lead-in. Note that 3 of the 4 shows with no lead-in air head-to-head on Wednesday night. Also, I added 'Samantha Who?' to the list. 6 of the Top8 should be cancelled, with Private Practice a clear success (when not in rerun) and Crowned a likely 7th (but still a bit early to tell with only 1 episode aired and people knowing that they would have multiple chances to watch it).
