For fans of series on the proverbial renewal bubble, this is a good resource for gauging the possibility of renewal:

shame, shame RD ;)

I understood that to mean the entire article itself and not so much as referencing it through a link.

If linking = copying or reproducing, then sue me. :D

Oh, so here's a good idea. Let's cancel Angel!

Exactly - the cancellation of Angel pretty much cancelled the validity of this report, didn't it?!

I would hardly say that. The cancellation of Angel simply demonstrates how moronic the WB executives are. This report proves that.

Yeah, I think the report is quite valid; you just have to adjust for some of the oddities in the categorizations. Example: "King of the Hill," which spent half of last season at 8:30 and half at 7:30, is having its recent 7:00 numbers compared to its numbers in the higher-watched 8:30 slot -- so it looks like it's dropped precipitously when it's actually down about the same as The Simpsons and Malcolm in the Middle. Another example: Scrubs is in both the "biggest losses" categories and the "biggest gains over previous timeslot average" category -- because it's in a worse timeslot (hence the losses over what it was getting before) but doing better than what was in that timeslot before.

Personally I think the comparisons to the previous timeslot averages are the most interesting.

I agree. I look at something like JAG and the incredible job it is doing on Friday nights. That is an example of a stellar move by a network. They recognized what kind of show JAG is: conservative, campy, 1950's-style programming and put it in a place where they can maximize their profits: Friday at 9 where the most likely people to be watching television are older conservative middle Americans.

Why else do you think Walker Texas Ranger lasted so long on CBS? ;)

NBC needs to find a solid home for Scrubs. Plain and simple.

wow, look at the Sunday night on Fox. All down big time. :(
