That's longer than it takes to write a script of an episode of According To Jim.

'WATCH OVER ME' AND 'WICKED WICKED GAMES' SCORE THEIR HIGHEST TOTAL VIEWERSHIP OF THE SEASON, WITH BOTH SHOWS COMING WITHIN 3 MILLION VIEWERS OF THE CW
Published: March 7, 2007

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – March 7, 2007 – MyNetworkTV, the innovative new network, delivered their highest total viewership numbers in their breif history on Tuesday night. Wicked Wicked Games was watched by 184 total viewers, while Watch Over Me had 211, an impressive growth of 15%. "We could not be more thrilled with the performance of these shows", quoted an executive from MNTV who preferred to remain anonymous. "We came within 3 million viewers of the CW, quite an impressive feat at this point in our existence. And when we add in the live plus same day numbers we expect the numbers to be even more impressive. We might even reach 200 viewers for Wicked Wicked Games, and 220 for Watch Over Me." The executives at the other networks are even scratching their heads at these impressive numbers. "Quite impressive. We will need to drill down into these numbers and see what programming moves we might need to make to hold off this force", said Les Moonves from CBS. "We might need to rethink our American Idol strategy. Maybe move it away from the MNTV telenovelas.", said a FOX executive. "Uhhh, duh, I dunno what to say man!", said ABC's programming executive. Meanwhile an NBC executive said "We will move Deal or No Deal heads up against these telenovelas. Is it a deal?". CW executives had no comment.

Is MNTV really worth that much effort, AL?

Marc,

Since you are interview Ken this afternoon, can you try to get some info on Senator McCallister's brother? Casting? Is the role still going to be as significant as originally planned? People are craving information about this role.

Thanks! Chris

Guys, they can't renew Search For The Next Pussycat Dolls. The band already has too many members, if they keep renewing it, it will become Search For The Next Dozen Pussycat Dolls.

Can they have a spin-off?

If so I hope there's enough litter to be had...

I just don't get the big production over Watch Over Me.

It was doomed from the start. Too inside. They should have incorporated Vicki Lawrence as Thelma Harper. Then they might have had something.

In an apparent shift in its daytime programming mandate, Court TV on Wednesday confirmed that it has tapped Star Jones Reynolds to host a daily, one-hour talk show.

Reynolds, who in 1991 began her television career as a Court TV legal commentator, was rumored to have been in talks with the network ever since having been unceremoniously dumped by ABC’s The View in July 2006.

The talk show, which has not been given an official name, will debut later this year.

From 9 a.m. to 5 pm., Court devotes its programming hours to trial coverage and analysis, with shows like Banfield & Ford: Courtside and Nancy Grace Live. Only the 5 p.m. Catherine Cryer Live appears to share any DNA with the new Reynolds talker.

Although Reynolds is perhaps best known for her nine-year stint on The View, her legal bona fides are solid. She moved to TV after putting in three years with the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office, making her bones on Court with her insights into the William Kennedy Smith rape trial. She later became a legal correspondent for NBC’s Today Show and the NBC Nightly News, before accepting a post as senior correspondent/chief legal analyst for the syndicated newsmagazine Inside Edition.

Reynolds moved to The View in 1997.

Since Turner completed its acquisition of Court TV in May 2006, the company has a put significant amount of muscle in growing the channel’s ratings. Last month, Court saw its total-day ratings rise 33 percent versus February 2006, while its share of adults 18-49 jumped 32 percent.

“The public is fascinated by the intersection of the legal world and the pop-culture world, and we hope to tap into that fascination as part of our overall strategy to broaden the appeal of the network’s daytime line-up,” said Said Steve Koonin, president of Turner Entertainment Networks. “Star Jones Reynolds provides an ideal blend of legal brilliance and pop-culture savvy to help us achieve that goal.”

Reynolds also assumes the title of executive editor, Court TV.

They could do some other thing with the band, or find another trendy band willing to add a member, or do a show devoted to creating "The Ultimate Pussycat Dolls Cover Band."

And whatever lame idea they came up with would still work better than Veronica Mars in that timeslot. Or any other timeslot.

Maybe next season they should do a spin off and call it "Search for the Next CW Viewer". CW certainly does not have the problem of having too many viewers!

Heck, then MyNetwork could do a copy, "Search for the Next MyNetworkTV Viewer."

I doubt the Pussycats Dolls' success will last long.

Reality shows usually increase viewers towards the end as the the competition gets tougher and people want to tune in to see who will win.

Is there always such a big drop between NCIS and The Unit? I would expect an increase in viewers given that Idol ends at 9. Maybe NCIS will be a goner?

Yes there usually is. And more likely The Unit would be a goner.

any relation to Jeremy Hunter on AMC?
