Dude, what AM I going to do all summer without ratings for NBC's All American Summer or CBS's Big Bore three times a week???????

Seriously, it's always fun and a highlight of my day. (I'm not sure if that's sad or not...)

CBS only has Big Bore on three times a week? I thought everything on CBS has been a big bore for years.

Losers...

Ugly Betty, My Name is Earl and Don’t Forget the Lyrics

Quick Round-Up...

The shine of Ugly Betty is all but gone and this show will face an almighty task next season to secure a 4th season though ABC may keep it around to get it a close to 100 eps as possible before cutting the show loose.

The Office rebounds a little from the last few episodes but still I struggle to understand the low viewer total when you look at the impressive demo score. My Name Is Earl should be canned next season because NBC needs to re-brand soon and am sorry 30 Rock fans but the same goes for you.

All I can say the sooner ER goes out the better and I think its safe to say Don’t Forget the Lyrics has loss any of its buzz and shine but s a cheap show next year on friday night am sure it will do enough to boost FOX friday night woes along with Are You Smarter.

I don't know much about this show, I've never watched it, but I do that they are moving from shooting on soundstage in Cali to shooting on location in NYC for next season.

I don't know if that makes it cheaper or more expensive, I would think more expensive, but I don't know much of the inner workings of the TV industry.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

NYC is giving them some sort of bonus or discount or tax break for filming there. It's one of those Vancouver things. The LA film industry keeps pestering Ah-nod to allow tax breaks for keeping shows and movies in Cali. So far, no luck.

 

[Angel4576]

The Supernatural numbers don't look too bad, nearly 3m.

 

[Mr Light]

Only 17 mil for the CSI finale? Wasn't it getting 23-26 mil for regular episodes pre-strike?

The show had begin to slip around 20 million before the strike but 17 is still safe...very safe.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

Supernatural rose to 3 million in the final ratings.

final ratings Thursday

Nice considering it was up against all new competition
