I wonder if the BIG BANG THEORY was a rerun of a post strike episode or one of the fall episodes...that leads to the question how many times can you rerun these episodes?
CBS really should have found a way to make a KID NATION 2 and run that during the summer. It would have done well.
Also I wonder what happened to that reality show that they were going to run where they were going to have people "punked" so to speak. It was announced during the strike but have not heard anything about it since...
It was a pre-strike episode. Not bad for an episode that was being shown for about the 4th or 5th time.

I guess if someone actually watched these shows, we would know for sure.

Don't get used to it.
What's that supposed to mean? I doubt NBC will pull the show. I mean 5-6 million during the summer is not horrible for NBC, they are used with those numbers in the fall season
It looks like, according to preliminary numbers, that the 2008 Indianapolis 500 rose in the ratings from its 2007 telecast.
This years afternnon race scored a 5.2 HH Rating, up from a 4.8 from last year. That may push it a head of NASCAR's Primetime race, of the same day. that averaged about 7.5 million viewers.
