I just don't get it. Why is WAT holding the viewers now and not back in October & November?
Perhaps viewers were watching CSI and taping GA (or vice-versa), then watching the tape at 10pm? Now there are plenty of re-runs to catch up on.

That would make sense since CSI and Grey's were the 2 most DVR'ed shows if the fall season (BTW, The Office was also in the Top10). The 9pm Thursday shows qualify as 'must see TV' before the next days water cooler talk, so the 10pm shows take a hit as viewers catch up with timeshifts of the 9pm shows.
NBC at it again with the shifting of time slots! My DVR was programmed to record Clash of the Choirs last night from 8-9pm but found it NBC extended it from 8-10pm. I'm guessing a lot of DVR users who followed the show got the same frustration.
The ABC-NBC programming ping-pong game is still on: NBC has moved Celebrity Apprentice back to a January 3 debut.
Yes, Douglas, that Clash of the Choirs extension was only announced Wednesday afternoon. It's official: the nets have gotten to be too screwy for tivo to keep up.

I think airing earlier seasons of their scripted dramas that have multiple seasons (like SV, SPN and OTH) would be a pretty good move for the CW. That whole Smallville Beginnings thing the WB did a few years ago worked pretty well, got good ratings for reruns, and helped SV pick up some new viewers.
Plus, for people who have never watched those shows, it would be giving viewers "new" stuff to watch on the CW. A good thing with the strike, and considering how long it will take scripted dramas up and running again even after the strike ends.

Yeah, turning Sunday into a Beginnings Night for One Tree Hill, Smallville, and Supernatural would work out wonderfully for the CW. It'd certainly be cheaper and could probably yield better ratings then they are currently getting. The Crowned nightmare would only be shown twice a week. Maybe once if they show Reaper repeats as a One Tree Hill lead in.

Hahah. Now I have to yell at the person who put Earl and 30 Rock's repeats in my company's daily report. I love justified, righteous indignation!
