Oh one last thing...FOX Move FRINGE FFS

 

[Jetfire]

TVD picked up a little which is good. Hopefully Smallville & Supernatural will have a good night tonight.

 

[Starbreaker]

No need to check out My Generation now. ABC will be plugging in game shows in half its time slots by November.

 

[Geck]

NBC's numbers?

Looks like CBS continues to dominate Thursday - no surprises there.

 

[Starbreaker]

NBC Community (Season Premiere) 2.2/7 5.01
NBC 30 Rock (Season Premiere) 2.6/8 5.85
NBC The Office (Season Premiere) 4.3/11 8.40
NBC Outsourced (Series Premiere) 3.5/9 7.44
NBC The Apprentice 1.4/4 3.85

 

[bigdaddy]

I really wish Fox would move Fringe to Mondays at 9pm now that Lone Star is a disaster.

I never even heard of My Generation, but ABC is really having a tough couple of years with their new shows.

 

[Trippy]

-Total Viewers:
CBS: 14.37 million

Apparently, they were all watching:

The Big Bang Theory - 13.95 million & 4.8/15

Those a freaking incredible numbers. It was a fantastic premiere and bodes well for the fourth season

What other show can do a robotic arm masturbation joke? And make Sheldon's first date a threesome?

 

[BigFoot]

Man I wish Community was doing better. I really think it's the best comedy currently on air.

 

[Mr Light]

Big Bang airs at 8, CSI airs at 9.

Is Fringe going to get renewed with premiere numbers like that?

 

[Starbreaker]

The numbers are slightly better than the finale, so probably. I think the show does extremely well with online and DVD sales.

 

[Jax]

Added the NBC numbers, I forgot about them though I wouldn't be alone in forgetting NBC .

Winners...

The Big Bang Theory, $#*! My Dad Says, CSI, The Mentalist and Grey’s Anatomy

Honorable Mention...

Bones, Private Practice, Outsourced and The Office

Losers...

30 Rock, Community, Fringe, My Generation and The Apprentice

Am starting with FOX who are in my sight, Fringe's move did not work last year so why would it work now. Fringe should headline wendesday night or switch around with Bones otherwise I feel FOX will pull the plug come May.

CBS had a stellar night having sitcoms lead that night for the first time in 46 years I am lead to believe. TBBT is top dog though I have doubts that "My Dad Says" can sustain its opening ratings. CSI may of started well but I hold my prediction that we will lose one of the CSI shows by the end of next season in 2012.

How Community got picked back up by NBC is beyond me and 30 Rock clearly has less days ahead of it but I don't see NBC getting rid of it this season.

Greys will fall as the seasons goes, which in turn will affect PP. My Generation is DOA

CW only good night but how can they float an entire network?

 

[sidious618]

They keep Fringe on Thursdays because it has a solid fanbase and they have nothing that can compete with CSI and Grey's Anatomy. I don't see it moving anytime soon but because of this I don't really worry about its ratings too much. Unless it really drops the show will be renewed.

 

[bigdaddy]

What other show can do a robotic arm masturbation joke? And make Sheldon's first date a threesome?

Ummmm..... The Late Late Show for a few months now. :-P

 

[tomalak301]

God I hope those ratings for Outsourced takes a nosedive and we can count down to the season premiere of last season's most improved and IMO best comedy on the network, Parks & Recreation. Still not happy about this decision to break up a strong thursday line-up just to have a new show that looks really really bad.

[Captain Craig]

While $#*! My Dad Says will obviously drop, premiering new shows always do, it'll be curious to see at what point it can level off and stabilize. At least I'm optimistic it can stabilize.

It was a shaky uneven premiere but one that shows promise. I wouldn't be surprised if having to reshoot the pilot due to turning over the leading son's role contributed to some of the uneasiness.

 

[Jack Bauer]

Outlaw is dead dead dead. It'll be gone real soon.

 

[Skywalker]

NBC should just stop trying to air original programming on Fridays. They'd save themselves both time and money.

 

[Mr Light]

If only they could air a popular talk show in prime time... that would solve all their problems!
