Originally posted by Chimera: If it comes down between Men In Trees and Eli Stone for renewal, I hope ABC goes with the far superior Eli Stone. MIT fell from a repeat of SuperNanny on Wednesday, while ES grew from a repeat of LOST. And ES performs better when their lead-ins are originals. Even though Marc labeled it a loser, considering it was up against the season finale of Celebrity Apprentice and a highly anticipated NCAA basketball matchup, AND its lead-in was a low-rated LOST repeat, I thought it held up rather well and proved it does have its own built-in audience.
Although MIT has been greatly mis-mangaged by ABC in terms of skedding and promotion, MIT is produced by WB and Eli Stone is an ABC Studio production, therefore, the choice in all likely hood would be ES.
