Lost might then drop below 11 million

Well, it did drop below 11 million last week but it was a top 10 show in the demo which is all that matters. Not to mention that Lost is now virtually tied with CSI for the demo, who could have thought that last year when CSI was consistently getting 1-1.5 more in the demo then Lost.

The only problem is that CSI is watched by 6 millions more people.

I thought it was a good episode. Hey, what happened to all the fanatical Losties who ranted and raved at me when I was all "Lost sucked last night, and it's time for them to give it a definite endpoint"?

Lost was never remotely as good as some people think it was, nor is it as bad as some people think it is now.

It's exactly as good or bad as I think it is, so there.

I thought they had a definitive end point for lost...am I wrong? I thought they had purchased a finite three season contract before the beginning of this season.

The half hour drop for Lost was because of the 2 minutes grey's overrun. Last night's episode was probably my 2nd favorite episode of Lost of all time after the season 3 finale. It was I think a microcosm of the entire show and anyone who did not like this episode chances are that they are not going to like the show as well, there are only a few episodes that provide that kind of a litmus test and last night's episode along with 'The Constant' were this season's litmus test episodes. It is a testament to how good Season 4 has been that 'Cabin Fever' was only rated as the third best episode of the season.

The only problem is that advertisers doesnt care about millions.

GA keeps being the sore loser it is (though there was one good scene last night, the one that involved Christina and her emotional turmoil).
UB is getting the exact same numbers that Moonlight gets (but on a Thursday night, which is much worse since expectations are higher), yet I don't see all those naysayers who are blinded by their irrational hatred to Moonlight call for UB's cancellation...

I'm sorry but UB is doing better in viewers and in demos. I don't call for the cancelation beacause the show is on ABC not on CBS. A 7.9 million show on ABC is good, on CBS is not. And UB does not have a lead-in

where i live (los angeles) ugly betty's lead-in is jeopardy and wheel of fortune...the two strongest game shows by far...betty has a strong lead-in...

You and Justin both live in LA and both have delusional thinkings when it comes to affiliates. My ABC affiliate has Inside Edition as the lead in. I'm sure it finishes about third of fourth in the timeslot. I'm pretty sure in Minneapolis that the low rated ABC local news is the lead in. Betty overll has to start off the night. Everyone knows that 8pm is a very difficult hour right now because there simply aren't the people watching TV. A lot of those people are DVRing, taping, and watching 8pm shows later online. A lot of those viewers will return in the fall.
Moonlight on the other hand, does have a good lead in with Ghost Whisperer. The second biggest lead in nationwide a show can have on a Friday night (the highest rated Friday show also airs right after it). I do not believe Moonlight can survive in a tough timeslot because it will actually have to face something. I honestly don't care if its renewed or not. I don't watch Friday TV for the very reason that its doing well- there's nothing on.

That's not exactly true. When The O.C. was first moved to Thursdays during its second season it averaged between 8 - 9 million viewers per episode and had much better demo ratings. In its third season its ratings were down to averaging around 5.75 million per episode, lower than the game shows, but its demos were still better.

As tempting as it is to root for Moonlight to be cancelled just to annoy its superfans, those of us who went through this last year with Veronica Mars know that the satisfaction is always short-lived.

Especially true when they don't stop claiming the show will be back even after it is cancelled. We should all be thankful that NBC found a way to sell FNL off to cable. That way, the FNL fans don't have to act like the Moonlight fans.

Does it really count as 'internet buzz' when it is a few Moonlight fans simply posting over and over again about how great their show is doing?

This cable thing will be very interesting to watch unfold. If I were the peacock, I would've said you get a one month advanced airing to help keep from people watching eps early on.
