Well i don't really like any of the shows in this timeslot. george lopez is half decent but thats about it. I dont see the intrest in bones i would rather watch jericho.

9-10pm (8-9pm):
nice to see criminal minds beat deal or no deal. i wanted CM to beat american idol but i knew it wouldn't happen. the repeat of lost got low ratings. at least people are seeing the light and not watching one garbage hill -%21 is big, 2.25 mill is low.

10-11pm (9-10pm):
2nd week in a row that CSI: NY beat Lost. CSI:NY was good last nite & so was lost (actually it wasn't that great, a whole episode of a big flashback, my god!). i recorded medium to see if it was any good, and now i know why its in 3rd every week, its awful, they played a connie ray song for about 15 seconds every 5 minutes.

criminal minds is a Formulaic type show ill admit it and the acting is not %100 great and they like the word un-sub but the appeal of criminal minds is that it has intresting stories and through its a formulaic type show they do it in a way were it isn't boring or repetative. its one of the few shows were you actually care about the victims and the criminals more than the actual cops or profilers, and thats hard to do on a tv show, shows like ER through do have some intresting patients but the main focus is around the lives of the doctors not the patients. Shark comes to mind as a show that has good acting but the show isn't very captivating or intresting. when the first episode of criminal minds aired i really liked it, i thought this show was going to get cancelled in 2 weeks cause of lost but now criminal minds is going strong and its nice to see.

Dude, you are missing one of the best new shows of this season: Friday Night Lights. It's consistently funny and dramatic.

Seems Survivor: Fiji is taking a bite out of Earl and The Office (both had over 10m last week didn't they?).

Amazing ratings for Grey's Anatomy, I may not watch the show, but I can respect anything that draws a crowd that big (then again, Desperate Housewives drew that during it's "off" season last year). Amazing how many people watch TV on Thursday nights.

I hate seeing a good show like 30 Rock struggle, and The OC deserves a better send off (ratings wise) than it's getting. Come to think of it, 30 Rock is the only show I regularly watch on Thursdays anymore (mostly because I never know what to expect going in, everything else has a set formula, 30 Rock's strong point is that it has yet to establish one.)

nateman

Note: i have watched ER, Scrubs, 30 rock & my name is earl, wat at home.
i have still recorded and have to still watch:
Survivor
CSI
Men in trees

8-9pm (7-8pm):
i have not seen last nites episode of survivor but its got good ratings. my name is earl was good last nite, i don't understand the appeal in a god awful show like ugly betty. pretty poor ratings for the war at home, its 10 times better than ugly betty. its only 100,000 away from smallville ratings, wow.

9-10pm (8-9pm):
son of a bitch, the ratings are awful for scrubs this week. greys garbage beat CSI. come on NBC put scrubs in a different timeslot please!

10-11pm (9-10pm):
ER was alright last nite. i don't know how men in trees did last night but it was probally better than shark, it is way to formulaic of a show to watch for me, i don't hate it cause i am a fan of james woods but the show is to formulaic for me to watch.

Shows by 18-49 Demo
at least scrubs is in the top 10.

Final thoughts:
i wish scrubs got better ratings and im sick of garbage anatomy stealing the ratings from good shows. people are going to be kicking themselves in the end because when scrubs gets cancelled due to low ratings they will realize the errors of there ways.
ill finish watching the rest of my thursday primetime shows along with fridays tonite.

riley_dude

I can't say that I am all that surprised about Lost steadily going down in the ratings. ABC has been shooting themselves in the foot with regards to they way they have been so "vague" and drawn out. Sure there will be the fans that will continue to watch but those are becoming fewer and far between.
Most people are losing their patience and tuning out.

LorenzoL

I respect your opinion about Ugly Betty. You don't like it. Fair enough! But to say that War at Home is 10 times better than Ugly Betty is simply ridiculous.

ABC from 8-10pm. Put on some original programming, dammit...


I almost gave Las Vegas a dishonorable mention for coming in 7th and ratings that seem a bit low, but it's still doing alright in the 18-49 demo (2.5/7).

DJariya

I don't get why ABC has thrown in the towel on Friday's. CBS developed 3 solid shows and they are the top rated network on Friday's.

The only reason NBC is 2nd is because ABC doesn't have crap on.

whoopdido

Not sure if this has already been brought up but I'm amazed that anybody still watches Deal or No Deal, let alone 16 million people. I watched it at the start but got bored with it VERY quickly. At least Millionaire had different questions to look forward to from week to week but Deal or No Deal is the same exact boring thing every single time.

TheMovieman

I'm the same way. I watched it when it first came on but it did get old quick. I can't even turn it on for background noise while working.

Isn't ABC bringing back Millionaire for a week or two for May sweeps? I think they did that a year or two ago...

nateman

8-9pm (7-8pm):
Like i have said before, i have lost all intrest in the weekly borefest that is ghost whisperer, nice see it beat 1 vs 100 & a repeat of garbage anatomy.
i watched nanny 911 and it least it beat friday night crapdown.

9-10pm (8-9pm):
for the love of god, again close to boring beats las vegas and this time by 2 million people. it just proves to me even more that people like safe formulaic, just plain boring over an original show like las vegas. and how the hell did friday night garbagefest beat trading trash?

10-11pm (9-10pm):
I have said this a million times, that this season of L&O is the worst yet. however i would have rather seen it in the #1 slot cause numbers sucks, another formulaic type, done to death show with just enough of a twist that gets people to watch this have assed show.

god please no! to me beside one of my all time favorite shows coach & roseanne and maybe 1 or 2 others, ABC is a joke in my opinion. there comedies suck this year.

Scott27

If you read his posts, you should realize his opinions are not to be taken seriously. When he refers to shows as "Grey's Garbage," "Close to Boring," etc. and can't use proper capitalization, his posts are a joke.

Obviously anybody who watches Nanny 911, then puts down any other show must be joking.

Guess the Housewives dip stuck around after football season after all.

DJariya

Great ratings for Amazing Race....Good to have it back!

Terrible ratings for CJ. It actually lost over a million viewers this week. I'm concerned about it's move to Wednesday going against Criminal Minds and Idol.

TheMovieman

Well, they need to do something because if it stays on Sundays @ 10, it's going to get cancelled, so they might as well give it one last shot. More than likely, it's going to do poorly, but I can't see it getting numbers that much worse...

nateman

sorry that you get so annoyed by me not using proper capitalization, there my opinions and my opinions only. just cause i don't watch what everyone else watches doesn't mean my posts are a joke, sometimes im joking but i like what i like. why don't you comment on the ratings of the nite instead of complaining and whining about my posts?

now moving on.....

Sunday - 02/18
7-8pm (6-7pm):
well 3 million people watched the series finale of Reba, very emotional timeslot for me. i don't understand why more people would watch americas (un) funniest home videos over Reba? i have no intrest in watching cars go around in circles but its nice to see the simpsons in the #1 spot because of it.

8-9pm (7-8pm):
nice to see good ratings for the amazing race, i like EM: HE but i never watch it. nice to see the simpsons & king of the hill beat grease: YTOTIW, worst reality show ever. 7th heaven got higher ratings this week due to the series finale of Reba, through 7th heaven is an awful show.

9-10pm (8-9pm):
nice to see the rest of the amazing race and cold case get good ratings, would have liked to seen it #1 but oh well. i used to like DH but lost intrest fast. low ratings for the apprentice 6, i don't think its because of donald i think its cause people are bored of the show. good to see next to no one is watching beauty and the geek only 1 million people watched it, hell the megan mullally show in daytime did better than that.

10-11pm (9-10pm):
sad to see the rest of cold case and without a trace get beat by brothers & sisters. damn CG got bad ratings last nite, its a good show and people should really tune into it.

Final Thoughts:
sad evening for me, the end of Reba, it was a really good finale, it left room for a spin-off and a chance for the show to maybe come back?
the CW sucks and with 1 million people watching BATG maybe they should rethink there desision.

zekeburger1979

According to Zap2it, Studio 60 got its worst ratings of the season: 4.1/7, barely beating What About Brian. With no ratings improvement possible for the next 5-9 weeks, I think I'm prepared to admit that it's one season and done for Aaron Sorkin and company, which really sucks.

GradVT06

Can anyone verify how these rankings are determine for dual-tuner DVR units? For example, both tuners are locked into a channel no matter which one I 'swap' to. They are both on the channel recording/buffering all the time. So if I watch one show and have the other tuner on another channel, do both shows count as viewed? Does it matter if it's a cable dual-tuner DVR or a satellite dual-tuner DVR?

Also, what about shows that you watch part of the time? Like the first 15 minutes or 30 minutes or switch bank and forth throughout the entire show?

Scott27

I'm shocked Rules of Engagement is doing so well, especially being directly against the 2nd half of both Heroes and 24. Since the premise seemed like every other relationship sitcom, I didn't think people would watch it.

I watched the first 2 episodes online (since 24 takes priority) and have enjoyed it so I'm happy it's doing good, just surprised.

RichC2

24 is on a steady decline Tho agreeably, not its strongest season.
