You should have seen the fight Nat and Chels had on the feeds uncensored...Chels called Nat a "white trash trailer park c---" among other things and said she'd be doing Matt when Nat walked into the jury house...yeah, I don't think "dignity" is what I'd call it...
She was getting in Natalie's head more than anything and have you seen some of the stuff Natalie's done while in the house? She's far from a saint.
Moment of Truth still had over 8 million on the Monday airing which is higher than PB or anything else they've stuck there. It hardly tanked. It's amazing how people lose their objectivity when they talk about shows they don't watch.

I'm not saying she's a saint- frankly, no one in BB's history has ever been (even Jen from last season, who is one of my all-time faves, had a lot of faults). She's just less objectionable than most of the others..
BB and Wife Swap posted similar numbers. Why isn't Wife Swap on the loser's list? I'm not following why Marc said he wouldn't "make that mistake again" on his previous note. 2.3 doesn't sound like a great demo number to me.

It can't end soon enough for CBS. Next week, most of the shows will start new episodes again and having BB9 bring down those premiere is not a good thing.
Perhaps a move to Saturdays (from the wednesday slot) is needed.
CBS should let BB finish its run where it is. While BB9 has been a failure over all, it really isn't hurting CBS as much as it seems. Repeats won't do better in the demo than what BB is getting. Now if Les Moonves was married to Phil Keoghan, thus ensuring a second episode of TAR was sitting in the wings, then we might have something to move into a timeslot.
and about the BB finale- It was originally supposed to be April 29th (from info given in a CBS BB contest), but they've announced Shark is restarting in that time period that night, so I would assume it'll be April 22nd now (and that also would mean we're probably gonna get a double eviction night this week or next)

I'd say Cutis and Jamie from BB1 (Although apples: oranges::BB1: BBNow) and Jaosn and Lisa from BB3 were fairly saintly. Maybe Jee from BB4?

I still don't get why all 5 networks would program reality shows in the same timeslot, and not one of them would be tempted to try scripted shows as counter-programming. Whether comedy or drama, something different would probably do better than having 5 networks split up the reality audience -- yes, there's a big appetite for that stuff right now, but on ALL the broadcast networks at the same time? Come ON!

MOT has gotten to be nothing more than a spousal slamfest.
It's gone from have you ever wasted your childs inheritence on gambling? to have you ever spent your childs inheritence on a tranny hooker? I'm surprised myself that Jerry Springer hasn't taken over the hosting duties.

Am a little surpised that Moment Of Truth is doing that well as a lead-in vs a lead-out. I figured after a couple of weeks on it's own it would crumble pretty badly. Perhaps Fox has a semi-winner on it's hands here.
Maybe ABC wasn't COMPLETELY crazy for renewing Wife Swap and Supernanny. I mean, yeah, the demo numbers kinda suck, but look at everything else on the night. I know it was all procedural repeats but c'mon. Nothing could crack the 2.0 line. At least these could get low 2s going up against Fox's reality shows.
And one more thing... am I just crazy???... or would it be a good idea for NBC to nix these two hours of L&O:CI repeats. They should instead, for the last 10 or so weeks of the season, rerun the first seasons of Chuck and Life.
8pm Chuck 9pm Life 10pm Law & Order
That way, as long as you're not cracking the 2.0 line anyway, you might as well be re-running shows that are returning this fall, instead of some USA network throw-away. Besides, Chuck and Life aired last in 2007... if they don't rerun during summer that's gonna be a looooong stretch (9 months) before they return to the airwaves. Even if they only get mid 1's in the demo at least they might be viewers returning in fall. Criminal Intent is wasted space.
Besides, airing so many hours of L&O is almost certainly hurting the franchise. Goodness, they already do like 43 L&O eps on the weekends alone.
All i know is, if Law And Order Night doesn't change it's lineup it's going to SERIOUSLY suffer when CBS's Criminal Minds and CSI:NY return.
(Viewers: #3, 6.32 million; A18-49: #2, 2.3/ 7), a repeat of Supernanny (Viewers: #4, 5.80 million; A18-49: #2, 2.2/ 6) and Men in Trees (Viewers: #3, 5.61 million; A18-49: #3, 1.5/ 4). Had ABC not mishandled the scheduling of the still addictive Men in Trees, more viewers might currently know it airs Wednesday at 10 p.m.
Well, at least 6.32 million Wife Swap and 5.80 million Supernanny watchers knew where to find it... and only 5.61 million people showed up.
I do agree though, ABC screwed this one up royally. I would hope they'd consider relaunching it for a 3rd year instead of just pulling the plug.
Originally posted by jdinan: 2. On last night's show, CBS appeared to censor markings on both sides of James' "Pi" chest tattoo. Anyone know what those markings are?
The one on his arm shows a picture of a guy with a thought bubble, and the bubble is a picture of two people making love.
The one on his chest has the (former?) Brawny logo with the words "prestigious ****".

It is actually all six English broadcast networks if you count MyNetworkTV which programs Whacked Out Videos from 8-9 pm.
However, the same MyNetworkTV will very soon (Wednesday, April 16th) be the only broadcast network offering a scripted alternative on Wednesdays at 8 pm when "Under One Roof", starring Mr. Flavor Flav, makes its debut.
