Marc, in Yesterday's Losers, Viva Laughlin is a CBS series not a Fox one. Just wanted to let you know.

Great night for both smallville and supernatural. Thursday is the CW's best night after Fridays of course :P. Other than that, CSI and GA's ratings are predictable. And so long Viva Laughlin, Big Shots, and ER, lol.

And thanks TV for updating my signature to reflect that Viva Laughlin will be on this Sunday!!!

Greys is sure down from last year. ABC isn't as strong as they think they are. I really think ABC should move DSM to Thursdays, get rid of Big Shots and air Cashmere Madia after PP on Wednesdays.

Marc, Could we get the half hour breakdowns for Greys?

Big Shots is settled into upper-40s retention, but that's still not good enough long-term.

Just wait until next week when WAT returns

Someone help me out. What were the DH finals for Sunday? I think DH may have a shot at having more viewers than Grey. I dunno about the demo, though. I think DH is far lower than Grey in the demo department.

Baseball probably hit My Name is Earl and 30 Rock, but continued solid retention out of MNiE is a plus.

That's about right. Did anyone think this show was so much as even going to open well? (Never mind go on to do well.) Besides resident trolls, xwiseguyx and WelcomeToKO-Ville. Who can't possibly be serious and so don't count.

P.S. What on earth happened to "Earl" and "30 Rock?" And, more importantly, why won't it hurry up and happen to "The Office?"

I expected VL to bomb, but this is lower that even I would have thought possible, out of CSI.

I truely wonder if we will see a press release today from CBS regarding VL's future, or lack there of ???

You know, I'm having a harder and harder time seeing how CW can let Smallville go, assuming Tom Welling is willing to go on without too big a pay increase. Not unless it falls considerably.

There's no creative reason for it to continue, of course. But then again, I never thought there was any creative reason for it to be on in the first place. Others clearly disagree.

DH had over 18 million and a 7.4 demo, so its last original was ahead of Grey's in both. But the TV year started on Monday, so they're technically not from the same week.

How close is Smallville getting to beating 30 Rock in that half hour?

"Viva" skews people who can't reach the remote control. That kind of ratings loss off a "CSI" lead-in is just breathtaking. Wow, just wow.

O, got it. Well, in my mind, it is the same week. Pretty shocking if DH's numbers hold up to be better than Grey. When was the last time that happened? Late season two of both shows? Wow.
