With the plane crash episode, maybe.
Plane crash episode. Which episode is that going to be and when will it air?
It will be episode 10, I think. Marc Cherry said it's going to be his major cliffhanger for the first half of the season. It will be the last episode to be aired in 2009, I believe.
Anyways, I know DH didn't rise a lot, but there was a slight rise, so that's good. Plus, it's against football AND baseball and it's still doing good. I hope some of us fans are proved right and the ratings improve in 2010 (football and baseball won't air then, right?)
Yup, only one show. I live in Lebanon and I can't watch a lot of shows on the internet, as much as I want to.

Couldn't agree more. That girl is the definition of insane. Losing $1 Million over a water slide? He needs to move on...with the chip firmly and rightly planted on his shoulder.

The biggest issue MLB has is getting that young/child sports fan to LOVE the game. Good or bad, the technological innovations over the last 15 - 20 years have hurt the game's viewership.
Attendance is still strong for MLB.

A slight rise from last week. But at the same time last year, DH got a 5.7 in the demo. A drop of slightly over a full percentage point in the course of one year isn't any kind of rise. And let's see--if that rate continued--3.5 next season--2.4 the season after that--and 1.3 for the 'final' 9th season Marc Cherry now reportedly says he feels is essential to finishing off this ever less popular story of ever less popular suburban degenerates.
It really is a shame The CW does not have enough original programming to fill a 10-hour schedule.

LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- The CW has dropped its Wednesday encores of "Melrose Place" in favor of repeats of freshman hit "The Vampire Diaries."
The change, which takes effect immediately, will see the previous week's episode of "Diaries" air in the Wednesday, 9:00/8:00c slot - "Lost Girls" on October 28, "Haunted" on November 4 and "162 Candles" on November 11.
As previously announced, "America's Next Top Model" will air its two-hour season finale on Wednesday, November 18 with the 2007 feature "Gracie" filling the night on November 25.
It's not clear what will air on Wednesday nights come December.
I completely agree with you that CW needs more programming options. CW does have a few reality shows, but I doubt any of them would do any better than repeats. There's also Life Unexpected.

It's on youtube and it's just as insane as its been described. It's hard to believe.

-Strong Debut for USA’s White Collar: White Collar, USA Network’s newest scripted series, debuted with a stellar 5.37 million viewers on Oct. 23 -- the best performance in the Friday 10 p.m. ET hour since the premiere of Psych on July 7, 2006. Compared to recent series premieres on USA, White Collar in the more competitive month of October outdelivered Burn Notice (3.98 million in June 2007) by 35 percent and In Plain Sight (5.25 million in June 2008) by two percent. Breakout hit Royal Pains opened with a similar 5.57 million viewers this past summer. Results for White Collar among adults 25-54 (2.18 million) and adults 18-49 (1.79 million) were the best in the time period since Feb. 15, 2008.
On Nov. 10, ABC will bench struggling 10 p.m. drama "The Forgotten" in what appears to be a one-time pre-emption.
ABC will air a magazine special, "In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts: Bright Lights, Big Stars, All Access Nashville," in the "Forgotten" slot instead.
The special will help promote the annual CMA Awards, which will air Wednesday, Nov. 11. "The Forgotten" is scheduled to resume its spot on ABC's lineup the following week.
Good move by ABC. The CMA special should do better, especially in the demos.

Great news for White Collar. I really enjoyed the premiere and plan on watching the series.
Great job Yankees. Next up, Pedro and the Phillies.

DH's competition from NBC was nothing last year compared to this year.
Last year on NBC:
week 5 Sunday 10/26/08 nbc 40 Year Old Virgin 4,560 0.9
week 5 Sunday 10/26/08 nbc Football Night in America 2,600 0.9
This year NBC had a 11.85/4.6......big difference.

NBC has added two projects to its development slate, the drama "Nola Rising" from producer Teri Weinberg and comedy "Ordinary People" from producer Scott Stuber.
Both are set up at Universal Media Studios.
"Nola," from writer Diane Ademu-John ("Medium"), revolves around a down-on-his-luck private investigator and a charismatic ex-con capable of being inhabited by ghosts who become unlikely partners to help solve the problems of New Orleans citizens, living or dead.
Weinberg is executive producing through her Yellow Brick Road banner.
Ademu-John and Alex Hertzberg are co-executive producers.
The project marks Weinberg's second sale this season following another NBC/UMS drama, "Welcome to Hitchcock."
"Ordinary," described as "Mad About You" meets "The Cosby Show," is part of NBC's effort to develop an African-American comedy series. It's a hybrid comedy from "America's Next Top Model" co-developer Kenya Barris.
Inspired by Barris' real-life experiences, "Ordinary" revolves around Kevin and Kelsey Whitmore, a married couple in their late 20s who are fast-tracked professionals with four kids.
After spending most of his time on the road as a Rolling Stone music reporter, Kevin is promoted to columnist and works from home, a change that requires adjustment for everyone in the family.
Barris, repped by WME and Principato Young, is executive producing with Stuber.
I like Oridinary, however I don't see either show going on to become a hit.
