Maybe CW should sign Roseanne on for her sitcom, or even Rosie O'Donnell and then they would finally enjoy big ratings.

Sorry, but that still doesn't look that impressive. Especially when you factor in the fact that ANTM has been treading strong in the same demos GG is looking for. At best, you can say it stabilized in the upper 2 million range and low to mid 1 demo. Not exactly a break out.

Just a little comparison and food for thought:

Week   Total   18-49
1      3.50    1.6/4    
2      2.48    1.1/3
3      2.75    1.2/3
4      2.87    1.3/3

But still three consecutive weeks of growth in total viewers and among adults 18-49...better than nothing.

Even though a 60 per cent retention rate would get shows cancelled on some networks (like CBS) these days, as well.

Look at Private Practice.. it's a deemed a hit... I'm sure someone has the spinoff #s for CSi and Law & Order?? I'd guess PP is a bigtime loser compared to those shows initial spinoff numbers. PP is a spinoff of the second or first biggest scripted show depending on the week and is hovering around 7-9M less than the mothership...

The same applies for CSI: Miami and CSI: NY...

I think you mean differently.

Hey, I can't show favoritism, just because you're sucking up.

And CBS? with CSI?

I wouldn't be so harsh on Jericho. If CBS gives Jericho an actual lead-in (Sundays @ 8 or Tuesdays @ 10) it might do over 10 million viewers and 3+ in the demo.

Not sure if anyone posted this or saw this however at FutonCritic the following article was posted today. Basically it says that for premiere week, Grey's Anatomy dominated in Tivo ratings. Not sure what that will mean( if anything) for the overall ratings however that has to account for some of the ratings drop.

What saves Dirty Sexy Money from being a loser is better retention. Big Shots is doing only slightly better, but with a much stronger lead-in series. People just forget to turn off the TV after Grey's, with DSM more people are apparently choosing to watch it.

I still think DSM's numbers are disappointing given the promotional campaign it received (its numbers will decrease this week in finals, Private Practice ran 2 minutes long).

And it baffles the mind as to why you schedule a show in prime real estate like Big Shots out of Grey's Anatomy and don't push it in a big way to make people aware of it. They did the same thing with Six Degrees last year. It makes no sense! Especially in a DVR world where you can by and large avoid on-air promos and have to actively choose to record something.
