They can't have been too happy with losing 1 hour of their primetime programming to a weather (field failure) delay.
That was the strangest game I have ever watched. I admire the Rooney's and think of them as one of the best owners in all of professional sports. I also agree that the stadium should be available for high school playoffs, considering the taxpayer money that went into paying for it. However, for the love of god, please put in field turf.
Also, I would like to know who advised them to put down a new surface one day before a predicted monsoon and a game. Oh well, 3-0 or 30-0 is still a W but Geez.
Originally posted by mushu_jj: LOL. I still think they should've went with a movie on Wednesday and then used maybe a Barbara Walters special on Thursday with Greys and the October Road SEASON PREMIERE not special preview crap that only confuses people. Oh well. Nothing surprising considering its McPhearson making the calls.
As sad as it is to say, I think ABC (be it "D-girl" McPherson or whoever really calls the shots) is programming a lot smarter this season than they were the last two. Not counting crud like "Cavemen," the only issues I've really had with them this fall are the very late starts for "Men in Trees," "Women's Murder Club" and "Samantha Who?" That didn't really make any sense to me -- not that it seems to have hurt "Samantha" any. At least this season, they aren't cancelling shows every five seconds.

A hint that Medium will be moved to Monday night after Heroes?
I guess that is possible, but also possible is that they will just delay the debut of Lipstick Jungle (which I am not sure if it is ready anyway) which was supposed to air on Sundays at 10. Maybe they will have American Gladiators at 8, followed by Medium at 9 and then Law and Order at 10. I am sure that Law and Order would have no problem beating Shark, and might also beat Brothers and Sisters in total viewers.
Maybe CBS should have tried a NCIS - The Unit crossover episode for sweeps. ABC will win sweeps, but I suspect not by the margin they thought when the season started. NBC will finish in third ahead of FOX, but by a smallers margin than they probably would have thought - assuming any of the powers that be at NBC are capable of thinking..

Law & Order is going back to Wednesdays, according to the official site.

I just found another article with information about American Gladiators, and it says that it will only debut on Sunday, and then move another night. The article also states that NBC will be announcing a new midseason schedule later this week.
FOX and NBC better watch out for Univision. It is already beating them on some nights and their audience is growing quickly.
Not much reason for anyone to worry about MNTV. That network is only growing because they have all but stopped using original progamming. Growth is not sustainable without original content.

What official site? I just checked the Law and Order page on NBC.com, and I don't see anything about that.

Originally posted by Riff Rafferty: Yeah. They ran out of new episodes. Granted, it's "Rules of Engagement" we're talking about. New, old... how can anyone tell the difference?
Yea, I see what you mean. They're all funny and draw over 10 million viewers.
Or it just so happens to sit in between CBS's highest rated comedy and Monday's highest rated drama.
That only gos so far. Just ask Big Shots or OR (following the #2 drama on TV).
