I say off with their heads, renew Eli Stone. At least it has growing potential.
Kill Eli Stone, too. It does just as bad as the other 2.

I think they should pick Eli Stone up for 13 episodes and put it as a mid-season replacement.
A toast to ABC, which shuffled time slots and let WMC make a crappy performance where BL did solidly well, and took BL to a (I think) series low changing time slot in such an abrupt manner after years in the same slot. Booh.
And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.
If you find my english is bad, it's because I'm italian. :-)

How sad for ABC. They basically have to choose which low rated series to save. And they've already saved plenty of low rated shows. BL should've done much better last night. The lead-in excuse does not work for a show that's been around for years. With tht said, nor WMC nor ES have shown they can do much better on their own. So it's a tough call. I still think ABC should try at least 2 of these 3 shows on Fridays next season

Hi,
Sorry but,
I always wanted to know if italians have alot of back hair.
Not sure I agree with the "Still Dominant" label for CSI:NY... beating L&O by 0.1 in the demo when it had a more compatible and one point larger lead-in is hardly domination.
I didn't expect much out of Boston Legal and I'm not sure why everyone else did. These special airings diminish EVERYTHING, even established shows like when CSI:Miami was on Tuesday, and this was actually a tick ahead of the February without-Dancing numbers when it had less competition. I doubt this did much to sway renewal in either direction.
On the Fox comedy front, the 8:30 show is always going to build, not just because of HUT but because of the Idol halo effect causing pre-tune. TD was building at 8:30 in the fall, got moved to 8, and now appears inferior. In reality, the two shows are probably of about equal strength - which is to say not much.

About last night's ratings: AI is way way down from last year! And I was actually sad to see Brooke go! The only contestant left who could possibly be sucessful is David Cook, so I hope he wins.
At least ANTM is above 4 millions, but it's not what it used to be ratings and quality wise. I'm kind of sick of Tyra.

So, you can assume I don't have a life, that's fine, but in my humble opinion, television, movies and entertainment in general are a part of life, at least mine.
Welcome and its good to see a TV fan who takes pride in his watching. Did you stumble on to this site by accident?

i'm not BS'ing here... i'm so happy with BL's numbers considering timeslot, lead in and an improvement of 2 million and 26% in the demo over MIT. obviously it's not great to be below a 2 but look at the rest of the night... abc has to be a little happy with improving numbers like that. 2 million viewers and 26% over MIT (the last occupant of the timeslot). Though it doesn't make up for the lost numbers WMC put up in BL's timeslot.
also BL lost 11-12 million as a lead in compared to their last episode on tuesday. BL was actually on par with what they did on tuesday with carpoolers as a lead in. Maybe a little better in the demo.
unfortunately for eli... a show i like, they did horribly after housewives doing worse in the timeslot compared the B&S. I think comparing how a show does in the same timeslot is crucial. and without lost as a lead in could barely squeak over 6 million but had a 2 demo in it's final episode.
if abc were smart though i think they'd renew both shows.
I was not sure how to label CSI: NY. And I do think it is in trouble next season. ABC has a real opportunity here.
