Does it really matter? i mean they are doing now 67 minutes episodes. Why not 92 minutes and 30 seconds?

I personally gave BW (almost typed "BM") a couple episodes but it felt really boring to me from the start. They tell you Jaime's a genius but she seems to be the most clueless one on the show. She's supposed to be incredibly strong and powerful yet a few weeks ago it seemed like the guy she met in the college episode took out four guys in the time it took her to fight off one.
I think NBC will stick with it for as long as they can. Like Studio 60, they really had a lot of hope for this one and won't kill it until they give it every last chance.
If it were my show, I'd kill Jaime and have the other BW Sarah take the lead. She'd develop some problem and be forced to work with the Berkut company. It would have to be more interesting than what they have now. IMHO
Luckily they have the Apprentice to rely on. It is afterall the number one show on TV.

And it's one hit show, Heroes, is going down the tubes too, both in quality and in ratings. Without football, last week it averaged just 6.7 million viewers. When the new episodes run out, and viewers tire of repeats, I wouldn't be surprised to see NBC in the sub 4 million range. If something doesn't crack at the network, and soon, it's done. They must be losing tonnes of money at this point.
It's the fact that it is Country, people may be making assumptions that only those in Hooterville are tuned in. It's always bugged me but it shows how people live in an ignorant bubble thinking that everyone else is just like them.
To showcase the ignorance, the guy, who writes for the Chicago Red Eye (owned by the Tribune) writing up his predictions for the CMA awards said he knows little about Country music and then went on to ask who the heck George Strait and Big & Rich is. That's Chicago Media for ya!

Country Music is a viable commercial medium, and it always surprises me how many people are ignorant to that fact.

Out of curiousity, which 'brilliant leader' at NBC is taking credit for Phenomenon? Does this beauty fall under the umbrella of the 'old watch' or the 'new watch'?
Bionic Woman may indeed suck and be a failure in its own right, but Phenomenon is helping it mightily to the grave.
If anyone think NBC cannot go lower than this just wait for Knight Rider. Or worse just wait till Connon O'Brien takes over the tonight show and Leno moves to ABC.
Horatio Crane? Was that Frasier's long lost brother or cousin? Did I miss that episode?
That was my first thought. But Google informs me David Caruso's CSI:Miami character is named Horatio Caine. So I assume that's what mushu was referring to. Because otherwise it makes no sense at all.
I know. The Des Moines Register is also clueless when it comes to rural Iowa and the coutnry lifestyle. They did find time however to bash Shannon Brown, an Iowa native's CD.

And its one GOOD show (which is more of a hit than Heroes right now) is out of production indefinitely, due to its star developing a painful condition of 'enlarged brass balls'.
Wow, I know Tina Fey likes to make jokes about how manly she is, but I had no idea she'd cop to having balls.
Now Ben Silverman, he's got enlarged balls. He also developed NBC's hopeless Americanized version of "The Office." Which is also out of production indefinitely. But it couldn't have been the one you're talking about. Because it's not good.
-- "Better Off Ted," Wednesdays at some time or another at some point or another in the near future. Because we can't all live in mansions and not ever work like the people on "Modern Family."

Originally posted by Marc Berman: The CW also came in at typical midweek levels with its line-up of golden child America’s Next Top Model (Viewers: #5, 5.07 million; A18-49: #2, 2.5/ 7)
#2 in the demo: ANTM comes roaring back after the clip show last week. I think this week's numbers indicate that Pushing Daisies and ANTM are fighting for some of the same viewers on a typical Wednesday night.
Side note for ANTM: when they showed the 'final video' last night I was sure I had seen it before on MTV/VH1. Sure enough, an internet search revealed that the video has been available for months. Funny thing, though, the ANTM cast didn't seem to be in the real 'final video'. I wonder how many of those cast members expected to see themselves and were disappointed?
