Yes, as mentioned last week, Hells Kitchen was siphoning off viewers (this tends to solidify my theory here) as The Biggest Loser continues to take some away. Shark Tank would have been much better off on Wed at 8pm. Hopefully, ABC will be smart enough to see that as well and renew it.

I believe that may be a season high for Shark Tank, especially in the demo.

I don't hate the show, but there is certainly nothing special about it.
I'm sure the Forgotten will be "forgotten" sooner or later. lol

VD was a given but MP getting 5 more episodes is surprising. They should have waited to see if Heather Locklear can give it a ratings boost.
I think that they didn't have much choice. They just don't have anything that they could stick in there. They're already airing repeats twice a week. Three times a week would be pushing it to ridiculous proportions - 10 hours of programming and out of that 3 repeats?

I agree. I know they're high on both Blond Charity Mafia and Life Unexpected but putting either on Wednesday at 9pm would be suicidal against Glee. The best option is for BCM to replace Top Model for a few weeks in January/Febuary and for Life Unexpected to go Tuesdays at 9 in March once Idol has backed off to an hour on Tuesdays. Shift MP to Wednesday then to fill that hole. Until then, repeats of MP and VD fill that Wednesday hole.
First off, let's discuss THE GOOD WIFE. As a huge fan of WITHOUT A TRACE, I cannot comprehend how CBS could cancel that show and keep COLD CASE and believe GOOD WIFE, NUMBERS, and THREE RIVERS deserved a spot on the schedule.
JULIANNA MARGUILES is one of the most overrated actresses ever and I cheered the day she left ER.
Most importantly, THE GOOD WIFE is pulling essentially the same 18-49's as WITHOUT A TRACE - despite competing against the also-ran JAY LENO SHOW as opposed to NBC's highest rated drama LAW AND ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT- and has a stronger lead-in with NCIS: L.A.
Now on to the CW. I think both 90210 and MELROSE PLACE are creatively on point. The latter has gotten much better.
However, I don't know that any show can deliver decent numbers competing against NCIS: LOS ANGELES, THE BIGGEST LOSER, DANCING WITH THE STARS, and whatever well rated programming FOX has on.
That could well be the toughest hour of competition on television.
NBC is stuck with LENO, but they should really consider moving him to 8:00 so their affiliates don't lose all their late night news ratings.
Shows like SVU and the even the original LAW & ORDER deserve better than those early slots.

If Leno moves to 8 p.m., NBC might as well just shut down.

Perhaps The CW should just broadcast The Vampire Diaries 10 hours a week? I can't believe they gave Melrose Place 5 more episodes, maybe it's just script orders? I don't know.
Maybe The Vampire Diaries might even get 2 more episode orders totaling 24. Hey, CW did it for 90210 last year, could happen again!

The Good Wife pulls the same kind of numbers WAT pulled with a cheaper price tag. So what's the point. I agree WAT shouldnt've been canceled but GW is not a problem for CBS so far

Don't they also have the reality soaps Flygirls, the NY socialite one plus the one set at Martha's Vineyard? I can see BCM replacing ANTM for a few weeks and then one of the reality soaps at 9pm with Life UneXpected on Tuesdays in March.
