Not too much to analyze from last night due to the debate.
I'll be interested to see later today how well MyNetworkTV's 'Jail' did in the 9-10 pm hour up against the debate and 'Privileged'. This is the first airing of Jail after numerous promos aired during last Friday's 3.2 million viewer audience for 'WWE Friday Night Smackdown', and it should bump the series up into the 2 million plus viewer range.
As to debate coverage, I recently switched away from ABC to CNN...I'm fascinated by the way CNN has that Audience Reaction Meter as a screen crawl showing positive/negative responses from the pool of undecided men and women voters, even though I'm sometimes surprised that certain rhetorical lines get such positive responses, and the rare intelligent exchanges get nary a reaction from the audience.
If there was ever a time that it was clear Tom Brokaw needs to leave the spotlight and return to the state that's 50th in everything (South Dakota) then it was last night.

Have you seen what they do on CNN's HD coverage? They have their pundits scoring the debate like a boxing match...

That is nothing, a friend of mine was watching the debate online and she told me that CNN had an option to watch the debate in which the pundits were commentating over what was being said in real time.
Maybe this DWTS thing will start to where off a little ? Don't these women get tired of watching some group of mostly old timers dance around every week ? Maybe it was a novelty for a year or two, but isn't it enough already after about 3 or 4 years of it ?
The so-called "townhall debate" was neither, and very boring.
In a debate, you engage your opponent, make your case, shoot down his arguments, go back and forth. What happened instead was a series of talking points with minimal discussion between the two candidates.
All I can remember is the couple of times there was an actual debate (over taxes, healthcare and Pakistan), over the objections of the moderator who wanted to move on to the next question. Very disappointing.
90210 didn't do that bad compared to BATG, given year-to-year general erosion. It even increased in the demo.

I'm glad I am not the only one that noticed. Can we actually have a debate rather than a joint campaign appearance ?
It wasn't a debate, i keep saying that. Why they call it that way? The candidates were actually begging for a chance to argue against the opponet. Brokaw would have nothing of that.. But to be fair the blame should be adressed to the campaign staffs, they decide how the "debate" works But still yesterday's "debate" was way better than the first
Originally posted by BuffyMars: Privileged went up from 1.88 million last week and a 0.9 demo to 2.33 and 1.1. Hey, it's improvement. Not great, but it could be worse.
This is great news for Privileged. As long as this show shows a pulse CW should keep it. If the demos hold up it will get a full season. Supernatural got similar ratings last year and it got renewed. I don't see any reason why CW would cancel it as long as it holds the viewers it has.
Season three of Supernatural got an average of 2.92 million per episode - quite a difference.
That number for The Biggest Loser is pretty good considering that is the boring hour of the show. NBC should take note and shrink the show down to an hour. (an hour and a half would work too) The two hour version is just to longgggg. If I can remember this correctly, I'm almost positive that Jillian (the one trainer) said this: If you do jumping jacks during the commercials, you will do them for three minutes with 10 commericals, and you can burn 300 calories. Thats 30 minutes of commercials for a two hour edition of The Biggest Loser. Okay, I'm done now. (I still love the show though)
