Why the huge rise in the demos in the second hour of American Gladiators?

Bye bye PB????????

Any chance that MyTV completely out does CW for the night with its combination of Celebrity Exposed and Paridise Hotel 2?

PH2 should easily crush the CW in the 9pm hour.

CE and PH2 posted a 0.5 rating each among adults 18-49.

The numbers for Christine are a disappointment I think. This doesn't bode well for it's future.

Less than a three in the demos.

Thats sounds about right for CE, but that low of a Demo rating for PH2 does surpise me. Must have been a busted season premiere for PH2

Well, if these numbers do hold, staying even or a very slight uptick is encouraging.

Not after heavy promotion on the Second Most-Watched Broadcast of All Time, it isn't.

SCC will go back to falling next week.

I hope.. the next week to increase numbers... Old Christine is great show and deserves get better numbers

Question for Debate...

If T:SCC holds at 9 million viewers for the rest of its run, Would you scale PB down to just 13 hours as a Fall only series?

Keep T:SSC throught the seasona and 24 In the Winter/Spring.

For a FOX show it's not that bad. The important thing is that it gets basically the same numbers week after week

Well, its confirmed. New Adventures of Christine is officially a dud. 25% loss of audience out of a repeat of 2 1/2 Men.

You know what, I disagree with all the comments about The New Adventures of Old Christine -- in the current environment, when only a handful or shows regularly break 10 million and even fewer garner over a 3.0 in the demo, I woulnd't consider 9.33 million viewers and 3.1 in the demo a "dud." True, it didn't even match the repeat numbers of 2.5 Men, but those numbers are still pretty lofty, even for a rerun. And each of the other networks, especially ABC and NBC, counterprogrammed very well: NBC with their on-going stunt to give away a million on DOND, and ABC with the 20/20 special on Natalie Holloway. And there was SCC on Fox with all the Superbowl coverage, which Old Christine beat. Even without being a fan of the show, objectively I consider it a solid return, and if CBS is silly enough to cancel it, one of the other networks should pick it up to help build up their multi-cam comedy blocks back. When there is such a complete lack of sitcom hits anywhere on tv, I would be very slow in getting rid of anything remotely resembling as having a decent fan-base.

Why does it "Deserve" better numbers?

Shouldn't it earn it?

Well, both shows deserve to be canned. But CBS, for whatever reason, seems to give preferential treatment to HIMYM, even with its sub par performance since its debut. As we saw with Christine, they held it back for midseason this year. So I doubt it will be back.

I think the reason both were renewed for this year was their critical acclaim. CBS gets plenty of viewers (overall and in the demo), but they rarely get Emmys. Whether that's enough to get either of them another year now depends on what other options CBS has.

I wonder if those same 7.5 million would move, with the series, to a Friday night slot?

Pair it up with Bones and FOX could, potentially, have a night winning combination.

CBS can cancel Old Christine and ABC pick it up and build a 1 hour comedy with Samantha Who?

That sounds good, although I believe Christine has a laugh track and Samantha Who doesn't -- they typically don't mix the two, but ABC could definitely use it!
