UB and Bones are both shows with comedic elements and large female audienes. Survivor is male leaning. UB and Bones are more likely to cross audiences than Survivor

I really hope this convinces ABC that copying ideas from Disney is not the answer. These ratings are almost unbelievable.

I agree. Mmm, no, they really can't. That was as good as "How I Met Your Mother" can do. Not-amusedly. That's the only thing they can do.

I agree. Not to beat a dead bird, but, yeah, no, sorry, we won't.

But this show had nothing to do with Disney or the HSM franchise. It was basically a 20/20 documentary. I think the title was there to attract people to watch, but obviously no one was interested when you look at the big half hour drops.

Wow @ CBS. Two and a Half Men hasn't gotten that high of numbers in years! And the 8pm hour has not been that strong in many, many years. Congrats, CBS...the only network that can actually make a real comedy.

I need some help with the DVR info for the week of November 17-23. Of course, the usual source who provides this info has not done so lately. If I cannot get DVR info, then should I just leave the update for PIFC Game #84 as-is, with 3 DVR-ed weeks and 1 non-DVR week? Just wondering.

Jokes about Canadians are always funny. They rank right up there with jokes about old people (perfect for TV forums). I will definitely be adding the 'afraid of the dark' joke to the repertoire .

I agree and the Minnesota Vikings jokes were great too! And might I add, truthful!

quote:

The networks have to stop making excuses that the economy is hurting television ratings. Thats a load of bull. CBS has all there shows go over 11 million viewers? THATS AMAZING! The last 5 minutes of BBT last night was HILARIOUS! I could not stop laughing; until How I Met Your Mother started. If I miss HIMYM its not a big deal anymore. I don't think it is all that funny anymore. 2.5 Men was also great last night. WW, didnt bother watching. CSI:Miami was good as well.

Last nights HIMYM was funny! im not gonna lie this season has been kinda a flat. but the last 3 seasons were hilarious! and this season is picking up, and last nights episode is proof. and the canadian jokes were funny!! you want a donut??


Oh and i tried watching Big bang one time and it was tourture! i dont get why most of the people on this forum think its so great!? its really lame.....

Rules of engagement would has gained to like 14 or 15Mil in that timeslot!! they can keep WW if they want, but atleast move it.

I agree. They did make the decision before the final episode's filming concluded. They made it a good 2 weeks before. The producers chose to end it on a cliffhanger, anyway. Sucks, but that's life.

Finally, thank you to NBC for airing the full set of episodes of 'My Own Worst Enemy', which bumped up a bit in A18-49s from last weeks episode. Hopefully, Mr. Slater will return to television with another series sometime soon.

I agree that I appreciate that NBC ran the full run, however, I was disappointed they couldn't make the decision before the final episode's filming concluded. I still hold out hope that a cable network will snag up this series. I think it really would do better on a cable network. FX or TNT and I think this show does great. Now I add another series to my "crappy ending" list. I am still upset over Judging Amy's ending, years later. <sigh> It didn't work on NBC but I really think it would do better elsewhere...

Anyone else predicting another viewership high for tonight's The Mentalist? I am.

Considering that ABC is running ATJ and FOX is doing a repeat of Fringe, I think it is very likely that The Mentalist could reach series highs.

is this a record low for a 20/20 feature?

The only thing that might get in the way is The Biggest Loser, but I think that'll win the demo while Mentalist will win viewership.
