No need to get cheeky about it, champ. I personally don't care for about 99% of reality programming or "mindless comedies" either, but assume what you would like.

I am wondering why the hell you care so much about the ratings of tv shows? You make it a point to comment on every single day's worth of ratings ad nauseum, and it is always the same rehashed crap. "OMG stupid American Idol" or some other drivel is constantly a theme in your posts. Are you some tv exec? If not, what is the point?

First off i don't say OMG, second i don't call it stupid american idol anymore through i still Hate the show i don't call it that anymore.
oh yes,
I own NBC and only support NBC. I am secretly undercover pretending to be a guy from Winninpeg, MB, Canada, but really i am the pres. & C.E.O of NBC-NBC universal aww hell i own GE!
NOT! the reason i like to review the primetime ratings is simple, I like to and weather or not you think its drivel thats your opinion.
I'm sorry you have such a big problem with my posts, how about you comment on the ratings instead of complaining & whining at me!
i care about the ratings for tv shows because i want the shows i like to do good so they stay on the air.

Whats the point?
Cause i can and like to and want to!

thanks for taking intrest in my post!

Indeed I do!

Note: Goodbye Raines...

Maybe you should spend less time consuming yourself with the ratings of tv shows and a little more time reading a dictionary.

Also, for the record, I am not "whining" about your posts. I just think it is beyond ridiculous to comment on every single day's worth of ratings, especially when it is often the same rehashed commentary.

OMG geek fight

Well put. I agree completely.

Is it possible for me to block someone? I am so tired of reading his posts and I can't stand poor grammar.

Go to User CP, click on Buddy/Ignore Lists, and add his name to your Ignore List. I finally did that a couple weeks ago because I couldn't take it anymore. Of course, when someone quotes him you still see it but you don't see the posts he makes.

NBC must have not liked Raines very much, introducing an unestablished show to a dead time spot = horrible idea.

It really goes to show how much people will whine and bicker about something. god for bid i can't comment on something!
I'm sorry my grammer is so unreadable to you!

you know what screw it. if my posts are so fucking irritating i'll stop posting any opinions on primetime tv ratings, the hell with this shit.

I'm sick of being bitched at. Really goes to show how people have no respect for someones opinion.

Sad to see raines do so poor thats all i have to say!

From Studio Briefing:

NBC's Ratings Fall to Historic Low
Last Thursday -- a night NBC once called Must See TV night -- NBC recorded its lowest ratings during a regular season in its history, trade reports indicated today (Monday). Dreadful numbers for comedy shows My Name Is Earl, The Office, 30 Rock, and Scrubs, also pulled down the ratings for E.R., which attracted its smallest audience ever -- 9.24 million viewers compared with 14.49 million for CBS's Shark. On Saturday, the final two episodes of the NBC sitcom Andy Barker, P.I. attracted only 3.2 million viewers, one of the lowest ratings for any network television show during a regular season in history.

NBC has only themselves to blame with the long break for Earl and ER. It was almost 2 months between new episodes.

I have Drive recorded but those numbers make me wonder if it's even worth watching.

As much as I enjoy NBC's comedies, the network may need to rethink the way they are making sitcoms. Their comedies may have generally high quality, but they just aren't attracting viewers. Perhaps the shows are a little too hip for their own good.

Not unexpected numbers for "Drive," but disappointing anyway as I really liked it. "To be cancelled too soon" was practically written in the ads. Hell, I almost didn't watch for just that reason.

That ER Bombed due to Low Lead-in thing is rubbish, Lead-in plays a role in making a show bigger, but its had a low rated lead-in for ages now.

Drive's overall viewership stunk, but it's premiere was up against some Sunday heavyweights. IMO, the only thing that can keep this show alive is the 18-49 demo and it seemed to do fairly decent in that department.

^ Just wait till it moves to Monday's against Dancing with the Stars... I doubt it'll do Prison Break numbers (around 8m viewers/week IIRC). But who knows.

Housewives continues its' slip. Up a bit from last week but still far off its' usual pace.

I was dissapointed with the ratings from last nights episodes, because they were so entertaining... but the true test will be tonight (when its up against less stiff-competition).
