Speaking of the worst show on TV, when does 30 Rock return?
I agree about The Office doing well, considering the lead-in problem it has to overcome. At some point, people are going to start needing to make the same point with regards to ABC vs. CBS. Ugly Betty's weakness results in CSI having an extra 5million or so viewers and 1.5 or so demo as a lead-in.
Actually, I think it makes a lot of sense since the show was once fairly popular. The shows you listed never were. (Except for DOND, but since Howie Mandell is now a personal friend of Marc's, he'll never say anything bad about it.)

The question you wanted to ask is if anyone is watching NBC? The answer is no.

It might not even live to see 13 episodes.
Given ABC's other problems, I think that Life on Mars will remain on the air for now. All of the Wednesday and Friday lineup is doing worse along with Eli Stone and Boston Legal.

Here comes the homophobic. Trust me there are way worse problems with GA. They just recycle the same stupid soap story for the 100th time and the medical cases are plain boring and are mostly drwoning in the soap part.
And since it's from Ben Silverman's "former" production company, I'm sure it'll run 5 years minimum.
-- "Better Off Ted," Wednesdays at some time or another at some point or another in the near future. Because we can't all live in mansions and not ever work like the people on "Modern Family."

As much as you think 30 Rock is bad, you can't possibly think it's worse than Kath & Kim .
lol. I agree; Kath and Kim would make anything look good! 30Rock returns next week, but you can watch the premiere now online. BTW The Office was superb last nite. A great season so far.

It's hardly homophobic. Taking an established character that's been hetero for years turning her all of a sudden gay is stupid. GA just throws people together to see if they stick without applying viewers reaction to turn out. They had a formula in the early seasons that worked and they trashed it to be a glorfied daytime soap.

Forcing a lesbian duo? I believe many are forced to endure a bunch of breeder couples on every show on network TV, but you don't hear the gay community complaining. Personally, I am very tolerant as to what you do behind closed doors, but please leave it off my TV thank you - my kids don't need to see that.

Horrific is the perfect word. The worst thing about it (other than actually WATCHING an episode) is that it's having a drag effect on the Office ratings. Now last night i realize that the world series took a lot of the young males that the office specializes in, but seriously you can only do so much with a 2.2 lead in. The 18-34 demo was even worse.
18-34 Demographic: 8:30 Kath and Kim 1.8/5 9:00 The Office 4.6/12
BIG KUDOS to the office for being able to surge ahead like this despite such a disastrous lead-in.
