-Ratings Breakdown:
The sad reality of Saturday remains the lack of audience interest, with NASCAR on Fox first overall for the evening with a mere 6.82 million viewers and a 2.3 rating/8 share among adults 18-49 from 8-10 p.m. If the networks would step up to the plate and program something worth watching, maybe there would be some response.

Second overall in total viewers and adults 18-49 was theatrical The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe on ABC’s Wonderful World of Disney, at 6.23 million viewers and a 2.0/ 7 in the demo from 8-11 p.m.

Third was CBS care of a repeat of CSI: Miami (Viewers: #2, 4.81 million; A18-49: #3, 0.9/ 3 at 8 p.m.) and a two-hour edition of 48 Hours Mystery at 5.59 million viewers and a 1.2/ 4 among adults 18-49 from 9-11 p.m. And last, and very least, was NBC’s encore combination of Medium (Viewers: #4, 2.66 million; A18-49: #4, 0.7/ 3), Law & Order: Criminal Intent (Viewers: #4, 3.64 million; A18-49: #4, 0.9/ 3) and Law & Order (Viewers: #3, 4.93 million; A18-49: #3, 1.3/ 4).

All together now…what a night!

Bland night, as usual.

As for the site, I was getting worried! Finally, it's working again. I like the new look, Marc.

Marc... what happened the site was down for like the last 24 hours... was worried we lost ya. I'm not much calmer.

It was getting re-furbished. You can't tell by the slight new looks and colors?

We are re-launching mediaweek.com tomorrow and it got knocked out for some reason. This thing is like an addiction, right? I was lost without it!

I like the new coat of paint Marc.

And thanks for responding so quickly to my email. I was getting concerned that it was just me. That happened once before on forum I posted on: I kept getting redircted and nobody could figure out why.

Ok, now back to the important job at hand: somebody revive Tv-Aholic from the coma he surely lapsed into over pifeedback being down.

Yes I was lost there... glad the world has been restored to order.

ABC might want to take a shot and bring back the Wonderful World Of Disney...would seem like a nice two-hour Friday block.

Crisis has been averted -- Marc is back online! I can finally sleep tonite!!

I thought the same thing

Why doesn't move CBS Moonlight on Saturdays next year. We would have a much bigger saturday thread

Yay for Marc and pifeedback back online!

Narnia and Nascar did fine. NBC should move the Tuesday SNL specials to Saturdays from 9:30 to 11 and just air encores of Earl, 30 Rock, and the Office from 8 to 9:30. Wouldn't do much worse than Medium and the 18th airing of this past fall's "new" Criminal Intent season.
