If you are going to mention the high ratings, at least mention why. Hint: it wasn't Tina Fey or Carrie Underwood. It was that guy that cooks squirrel's in his popcorn popper.

Looks like viewers are primed and ready to have their favorites, or any show, back with NEW episodes.

With CBS' Mondaynight Comedies the first back with Primetime Episodes, it will be interesting to see what kind of response HIMYM, BBT and 2.5 Men Get.

Can HIMYM and/or BBT reach or top 10 million viewers?

Can 2.5 Men surpass 15 million right off the bat?

In 15 days, we shall find out. (Will St. Patricks Day be an issue then?)

Well, if you enjoy local programming disguising itself as NASCAR, the yes... it did.

According to DW last night a few of these teams have to get back to the East coast to drop off their Fontana Car and pick up one for Las Vegas - hard to believe they don't all have multiple carriers, or that they still have time to accomplish this. How long does it take to drive coast-to-coast if you never stop?

Imagine what Jr. is thinking. He had to wait around most of the night last night and then all this morning just so he can drive around the track 40 laps down. If I were he, I think I would have a look-alike for moments like this.
