I still haven't watched the last 21 minutes of Lost because my FauxVo crapped out on me... thank for for ad-supported streaming! Marc should be back tomorrow

Thanks for the #s TY

Real test for Amersterdam comes Monday.

so am I reading that right that NA lost 3 mil the 2nd half hour? That's not good! I watched the beginning but decided to record it, I'll check it out this weekend. Does anyone know if they are going to air the first episode sometime this weekend?

No, I think the real test for it was last night and it failed.

Good numbers for AI again of course. NA looks in trouble after if dipped to 4th in the second half hour. Don't think we'll see this show in the fall.

Lost held up pretty well but it looks to be settling in the 12-13 million range. Let's hope it doesn't dip any further. I hope ABC sticks with ES. It's a fun show and it's a shame that TV viewers have been missing out on some quality shows the past few years. So many shows have come and gone...

CBS and NBC did their normal thing. I'm surprised that NBC is giving LJ another chance. I guess they're behind in their development division.

I agree. That half hour dropoff and the 9M finish level is a bad sign for this show.

so NA couldn't beat Lost

NA started decently, then dropped quickly--Lost went up slightly. I thought it was a pretty good ep. And that Elizabeth Mitchell looked prettier without makeup.

I wouldn't know how NA was, because I never had the slightest intention of ever watching for than a few minutes of it.

so did lost gain back viewers or maintain last week's audience?

Looks like Lost ran long and Without a Trace will win in demo and viewers again.

Marc gives us an average across the hour--it seems about equivalent to last week.

I guess I understand why FOX kept delaying this show. They new it would fail from the beginning.

New Amsterdam is a crime soap opera, and the majority of the episode is devoted to his obsession to find "the one". There wasn't enough time devoted to the actual mystery and Amsterdam seems to know everything, so it's boring.

Looks like NA took a bite out of CSI; down well over 1 million from where it has been in reruns

9:00   CBS   6.6/10    2.7/7  10,213,000

Pretty much identical to last week, both viewers and demo...
