Programming note:
- Clash of the Choirs aired on NBC until 9pm, not 10pm, and was followed by repeats of My Name is Earl and 30 Rock.

Smallville and Supernatural ratings are on par with their usual repeat numbers. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Peace!

Well, kinda sez something when CBS can win the evening with all reruns!

BTW, Travis, thanx for filling in admirably for Marc. While there's only one Marc Berman...well...there's only one Travis Yanan also!

The Living Doll/Dead Doll combo did really well.

They won last night with reruns as well.

It doesn't say much for the new reality/game shows. But don't worry nets, I'm sure American Gladiators and Farmer Wants a Wife will do better...

FOX takes second for the night.

Almost beats NBC in the 8pm hour (ABC out of the loop the whole night)

I dont think Earl & 30 Rock were on in the 9pm hour.

abc needs this strike to end...at the rate they're going the net will be in 4th place by early january.

OK, WAT was down most fo the season, not holding onto CSI's lead as well as it should have, but come december repeats, It not only held on to CSI's viewers, it Grew from its lead in. It was the most watch program of the night.

I just don't get it. Why is WAT holding the viewers now and not back in October & November?

At this rate, they'll be in 5th place, behind Univision.

Duel and 5th Grader going up against each other seems to have split the audience somewhat. Both below average. Clash being in the picture probably also mattered (Lyrics was a little below normal as well).

Can only imagine what will happen when Duel, Singing Bee, and Lyrics (R) are all in the picture tonight.

Actually I think they may be slightly lower then the average rerun (non summer).

I'm just going off what my report says... but those numbers definitely don't look like 30 Rock numbers!

At this rate, CBS would do fine if the strike went on for 3 years even.

Two thumbs up to "Without a Trace". The skien must of performed so well this week (in aud) because both ABC and NBC were airing shows that don't repeat well at 10pm (9c).

Well I didn't watch any shows live last night, I was clearing out my archive from earlier this season and watched the four latest episodes of "CSI:Las Vegas" and Tuesday's "Boston Legel". All were above par. Tonight after I come home from work at 2am CT I'm watching the latest installment of "The Unit".
