WTF?! 13th!?! How is that even possible? I can't even think of 12 other shows on Monday nights.

1) CSI: Miami
2) MNF
3) 2.5 Men
4) Las Vegas
5) Medium
6) Out of Practice
7) Wife Swap
8) King of Queens
9) How I Met Your Mother
10) Surface
11) Prison Break
12) Seventh Heaven

Kitchen Confidential was tied for 14th with Girlfriends. If AD gets canned, KC should be "leading the way".

Haven't they already given a full season committment to AD? I mean, if they are going to can it, at least give us a full season of it then yank it. It is not likely that anything they replace it with will get better ratings.

The first one that came to mind for me was Everybody Loves Raymond. It was on Fridays for its first season. As soon as it moved to Mondays it took off and I don't remember it having anything to do with the shows around it.

It's all Brad Garret's fault

Please stop posting the ratings in the episode threads.

Well, I think this is likely the last episode with ratings you'll have to see anyway, so "no problem".

Geez, no need to be rude about it. It's just depressing to see them in the episode thread, especially when Groucho's thread would be better suited for ratings posts.

Good episode but Charlize Theron, who I love, is horrible on this show. Otherwise enjoyable episode.
Hope the show is not cancelled. It would be missed.

Anyone know how the show is doing compared to the previous two seasons? I can find information here and elsewhere about what kind of ratings it's pulling in now, but no mention of how it's doing compared to its other seasons.

I think Nielsen has been clamping down on keeping ratings information on websites to track trends. You have to search hard to find a lot older than a week.

Having said that, The Futon Critic site has been doing a "how this compares to last year" blurb on each of the days. Unfortunately, the Sunday one for this week has a movie last year, so no AD to compare it to. Maybe next Sunday's numbers will answer your question?

I really thought this was the weakest of the season, it had a chuckle or two but it really seem too jumbled together...

On the flip side Kitchen Confidential, IMO, had their best EP of the season...

Oh well, like the saying goes... "They all can't be winners."

Not that Fox won't change its mind, but the AD site at fox.com does indicate new episodes returning after baseball on Oct 31:

Sounds good to me.


Is the "In Case You Missed It" section of the AD website new this season?

What did I say last week about posting the ratings?

As for the episode, didn't care for this one so much. Thought it was the weakest of the new season. I liked Lindsay and Blah-Blah-Blah though.

I think the more appropriate saying would be..."You can't please everyone all the time".

I thought this was the best one this season, and one of the best ones ever. I'm also not alone in that opinion.

Huh, that's funny. I was actually thinking that if Fox left AD on the air that it would probably move it to Fridays. That seems to be their graveyard night anyway. I think AD has a much better shot of staying on through the season on Fridays because there will be so little expectation for it. Just as long as it stays on the air, I don't care what day or timeslot they put it in.

As long as it's still on, I'm all for it. Friday would be a definite DVR day though.

Bob Loblaw..... Still funny.
