Whoa, a repeat of Bones beats a new episode of Jericho?

I didn't realize Bones was a repeat... OK, guess I'll remove it from Dishonorable Mention then, lol. (and move Jericho to the losers category since it couldn't even come in #1).

Yeah, it supposed to be a new Bones, but the episode was about a dead college student, so they replaced it with a repeat.

The repeat of Bones was one of the best Bones episodes so far in its 2 seasons.

Didn't know FOX had picked up LOST, but good to see it keep steady in the ratings department.

lol, sorry. Wasn't paying attention apparently

DISHONORABLE MENTION
Scrubs (NBC)

I'm happy to see Scrubs gain viewers from 30 Rock instead of losing. All 4 of the NBC comedies are great but its nice to see that Scrubs didn't take last spot this week for NBC.
Can't believe ER took third this week it its timeslot, what the heck it going on?
-I guess that long break hurt the show.

Maybe 30 Rock is great but at 9 it loses from lead in The Office and before when it was on at 9:30, it still lost from lead-in Scrubs (and now Scrubs GAINS viewers out of 30). Why did NBC renew this again? I can't see this catching on next season...

Hopefully Universal (?) releases Raines on DVD as next week will (most likely) be the series finale...

I thought it was already a bad sign when NBC cut Raines' episode order from 13 to 7. That tells me they already had no faith in the show. I don't think Universal will be itching to put together the 7 episode complete series of Raines on DVD. Heck, American Dreams season 2 still isn't on DVD.

^ That's true... Sigh, oh well.

If I remember correctly, Season 1 is priced at about $65. If they dropped the price to $45 or less, I bet it would sell better and therefore, give NBC a reason to release Season 2.

^ Is the high price due to song royalties or something? I've never seen the show so I don't know if they use original music or not...

Yeah they used all the original music, and those are some major HIGH PROFILE SONGS! I'm shocked that it was released for $79.99 originally... There was talk of doing season two with the musical segments taken-out, or only as bonus features with different performers but that idea was shot down.

DAMN IT!
Raines is a good show and it went from 10 mill to 5 mill pretty quick. I am really hoping for a DVD release but unlike boomtown this show won't get renewed most likely.
I guess people don't understand Jeff Goldblum's Quirkiness. I am tempted to saying something not so nice about close to home but i think the less said the better...

I am extremely happy that NBC renewed 30 Rock but i don't understand why they didn't renew scrubs first, some loyalty issues there.
I hate how NBC has treated the funniest show on tv in the last 6 years.

When I'm talking about 30 Rock, I'm talking about ratings. It's the lowest rated show on NBC on Thursday (and down there overall for the night) so I don't understand how it got renewed or how it'll be able to stay around past next season... Maybe it'll get the popularity of The Office (which does well in the 18-49 demo), I just don't see it. Again, I'm not talking about quality, but quantity...

As for Raines, I wonder if someone like Jeff Goldblum would work on one of the CSI shows (say if William Petersen leaves). He's a great actor and would add something to the series.

Because NBCUni produces/owns 30 Rock, so they make more money off of it than they do Scrubs, which is produced/owned by Buena Vista (Disney), which is likely why ABC will pick it up if NBC doesn't.

True,
I know Buena Vista owns it but over the 6 years Scrubs has aired on NBC they have always had trouble. To bad Scrubs didn't air on ABC in the first place.
Either way althrough i would like to see it stay on NBC as long as we get to see a 7th & final season of scrubs either on NBC or ABC i will be happy.
Zach Braff has signed on to do a 7th season with a great check for $350,000 dollars an episode (christ it takes me 2 years to make that much) damn actors.

Hard to say, even if Goldblum was to takeover for Petersen on CSI would people get it. Jeff Goldblum is a different syle of actor (the style i like) but would the majority by into it?

I think they would. CSI (the original series) gets between 21-23m viewers per week and he'd add some life into it. That's if they give him an interesting character and backstory (unlike Liev Schreiber, and yes, I'm still kind of pissed about his wasted stint).

I don't know if you ever watch Conan but he Liev did a cool skit called 'studio 6A: on the 6th floor of rockfeller plaza' which was pretty fun. I wish Liev would appear in more stuff & get a good role that doesn't waste his talent. He should take that CSI: Miami job away from David Caruso.
I agree that Jeff Goldblum would add a special spark to the series. It needs something because I'm getting bored of the been there done that show.

I see that Heroes had a bit of a ratings dip there. Networks have to stop with the big gaps in serialized shows... I think it's pretty clear that they start to bleed viewers when they do that.
