I've tried to watch all Abrams series but the only one i found worthy of sticking with is Lost. Felicty was good half of the first season at best, while Alias had a great pilot IMO and that was it.
Wow. Maybe there is hope for peace in the Middle East.

I can already predict that the first season will be intriguing, then the show will run out of ideas mid-2nd season, and become unwatchable by season 4.
And we are again in perfect agreement. As long as I don't mention that I'm enjoying this season of Lost. Which JJ had almost nothing to do with, anyway.

Why would CBS want to significantly lower their Thursday ratings? Thursday is their most important night.
Well, I am saying IF they do well. And "Well" would need to be about 10-11 million and a 4 demo average for the hour. But a move of Survivor 18 to Sundays would really help out that night
It may be hard to figure that out duri ng the summer with repeat trials.
I doubt they could do as well as Survivor, but I do think it is good for these shows to show some repeats on Thursday, and maybe catch some added eyeballs from people who do not watch on Mondays. Maybe they can get some sampling, and add to their Monday ratings.
The fact that less new shows will premiere this fall will help the newcomers. I think we'll have at least a couple of good performers (10-15 million, not premiere numbers but mid season numbers) among the new shows, unlike this year when only Private Practice could be considered a hit, and even PP was falling quickly and it was saved by the strike
Media Rights Capital, and everyone else, passed on Moonlight for mid-season. The show is dead. Moonlight fans will be singing outside Warner Bros today at noon and again on Friday by the big main gate at 4000 Warner Blvd near Pass street. I'm not sure why but they will be singing.

People are upset about the 2.2, because 2.2 is a CRAPPY NUMBER. Unless it's on the CW. But it's not. It's a show doing 7 millions on ABC. A 2.2 is a horrible demo number and one worthy of cancellation.
This is exactly why CBS needs to order more mid-season shows as soon as possible and start promoting them. Their new fall entries aren't locks for success and if their old shows falter, they need backups fast.

Lousy lead-in, up against AI Final 3 Results (Congrats, AI, on fixing the final 2), middling episode the week after a lousy episode (why focus on the dumbest character on the show for an ep?), so I'm not surprised by this at all.
...although it was great to see Stephen Culp, who my wife noticed was wearing lifts before they made it a plot point in the Hotch cross-exam.

You must be kidding. None of the older CBS shows will falter so badly in order to be canceled midseason. And CM did well against AI. In fall it will get 14-15 million viewers again. The same thing happened last season

Dumbest character? And last week's episode was very good.

We'll have to disagree, I think JJ is a waste of a character. While the Fat Tony/Hotch subplot was interesting, when those two aren't in the forefront it feels like the show just drags.
