By the way does anyone know when Survivor comes back? I can't remember a hiatus of two weeks in a row for basketball. Will they be airing a Wednesday edition? Unfortunately that preview of the next episode didn't give any clues to what could happen next.

NBC should be used Clooney in a promo. They could have done better than that.

Rounding off the 10 p.m. time period was ABC’s Private Practice at 9.07 million viewers (#3) and a 3.4/ 9 among adults 18-49 (#2).
This was the first episode Practice had to hold it's own after the crossover. The numbers don't look different than pre crossover.


Because the writers gave the viewers a pre-crossover episode. No real medical cases, and the 3rd patient this season wanting to be allowed to die. That compounded with the fact that it was centered on the headless chicken characters (Cooper/Violet/Pete/Charlotte) explains those numbers. Had I watched live I would have tunned into ER, at least Clooney his better looking than Tim Daly, has no Botox, and doesn't have an hair piece.

Survivor will be off next week, but will have a Wednesday edition the following week on March 25.



Actually, the next gameplay episode isn't until April 2nd- March 25th is a "never before seen footage" catch-up episode (known to some as a recrap)...This is the first time I've seen Survivor wait three weeks between new gameplay episodes....

and anyone have the ratings for ESPN's sextuple-overtime Syracuse/U Conn game last night?

That's what I'm thinking. Numbers were down across the board.

Last night's ratings seemed down across the board. Very odd, because the 9pm shows were down the most, so DST couldn't have been the issue.

Ugly Betty got back up, but it should be doing better. Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice were both down. With the ER final episode build up starting, Private Practice is holding well against it. But Grey's Anatomy, along with Desperate Housewives, is far below levels it used to be at.

ER did very well I thought, and even thought it couldn't beat Eleventh Hour in total viewers, it's clearly won the hour. A much better demo, and while 11th Hour lost about 5 million viewer from its lead-in, ER gained about 4 million. The finale should be able to draw great numbers for NBC. After 15 years on the air, viewers have to come back to see how it all ends. The comedies, though, are just pitiful. Even The Office sucked last night - and this is NBC's flagship show. I expect Kath and Kim and My Name is Earl both to be cancelled, while The Office/30 Rock sticking on Thursdays, or possibly even being paired up with Biggest Loser on Tuesdays next season. As for new comedies - NBC needs to stop with these single-camera ones. Multi-cams are the way to go now, and NBC isn't seeing it.

Bones and Hell's Kitchen are a good duo. Bones, even after all the timeslot changes over the years, still holds up well with just below 10 million. And Hell's Kitchen still manages to bring in a fantastic demo with a solid viewership. This season is very good, and last night's episode was one of the best this season.

That demo for SPN sucks! But who cares, it's renewed and it's going to have its five seasons after all. Who thought that was going to be possible in season 2? Big Grin

While I wouldn't call it a great show, I think it has gotten better since they added the new agent. There is more opportunity for ensemble-like dynamics. And he's pretty funny at times. I also think it will be renewed, and it is a Jerry Bruckheimer show, enough said.

The lack of a full season renewal and downright pathetic demos considering its lead in will keep 11th Hour from returning next year. CBS has much stronger dramas in danger. No way this one isn't.
