No, I don't think that it will get cancelled. I am just wondering why it's not performing well, it is SUCH a good show! I can't believe people are not watching it!

Well, I tried out the first episode and yeah, it's good but I don't feel like watching it every week. Plus, they have CSI: Miami competeing against it.

I hope so; it's like watching lost episodes of Sports Night. Terrible show. I'm not a big fan of CSI: Miami, so hopefully NBC will eventually give up on Sports Ni... err... Studio 60 and replace it with something decent. But unfortunately, I think Studio 60 will be around awhile before it starts inexplicably appearing on "shows that were canceled too soon" lists.

Notes:
- FNL lost 17% and 890k viewers from its premiere last week
- Rerun of CSI improved on the last episode of Smith by 26% and 1.64m viewers
- Baseball playoffs were not included in the time breakdown

Wow, is that ever a kick in the nuts to "Smith".

Now that there is just confusing to me. That's a huge difference in households.

Down from last week, but appears to still be higher than the S2 average.

Notes
- Lost has, well, lost 19% in overnights, 23% in viewers and 28% in the 18-49 demo compared to one year ago.
- Lost declined from the second half of Dancing with the Stars by 16% and nearly 3m viewers.
- Dateline increased over the Saturday-bound Kidnapped by 65% in overnights and 3.09m viewers, and 53% amongst 18-49 age viewers.

I'm not sure, but I think Lost gained its viewers due to its #1 position amongst 18-49 demo versus Criminal Minds which was a distant 4th.

Looking at the ratings and dropoff, I think Friday Night Lights might be lights out by Friday.

Criminal Minds beating Lost. Awsome.

The future is not too bright for "The Nine".

I just can't believe that this Dancing with the Stars is doing so well.
Crap.
Watching it with someone who was over 60 last night and seeing that they kept Jerry Springer on the show over the others, I can see who the target audience is.

This makes me want to cry a little bit. How can this show be doing so poorly?!?

Notes:
Retention
Shark out of CSI - 71%, 66% in total viewers
Six Degrees out of Grey's Anatomy - 41%, 40% in total viewers

Second half drop-offs
Shark -10% (total ratings), -8% (viewers), -10% (18-49 demo)
Six Degrees -19%, -21%, -21%

It makes me want to cry allot. I think the name of the show (liek Buffy) scares people away. It sounds like a show aimed at Teen girls.
I think their renewal of the expensive 7th Heaven is more for them to worry about for now.

Did it improve over last week?

Those dumb-ass ad blocks with the 16-year-old girls dishing about their personal 'life experiences' during GG and VM aren't helping matters.

3.27m vs. 2.99m (-280,000 viewers)

You'll have to wait to see next week since that 3.27m was for the season premiere.

Damn, Six Degrees is floundering. 40% retention is horrid.

I don't think it'll be long until ABC dumps Six Degrees... I also can't see 20 Good Years lasting. Yeah, I know it was one episode, but from what I saw of it, there wasn't anything special, unlike The Office which doesn't get great ratings either, but deserves more chances.

Six Degrees is actually starting to grow on me. I find that I end up watching that off the Tivo on Thursday night, as soon as I finish Grey's Anatomy. A lot of other shows sit unwatched longer, but Six Degrees is light enough to just put on and enjoy while I am catching up on emails.

How did you figure that?


Criminal Minds: rating
Lost: Total viewers and Top Demo.

Considering UGLY BETTY and BROTHERS & SISTERS both have full-season pickups, and MEN IN TREES is expected to get the back nine as well as WHAT ABOUT BRIAN beating STUDIO 60 in ratings; and since ABC has already put two scripted midseason replacements into production (OCTOBER ROAD & UNTITLED DRAMA)... I don't see SIX DEGREES and/or THE NINE making it past January...

2.99 isn't that bad consdiering last year's ratings, and its definately getting more viewers than any of the comedies as well as RUNAWAY (not to mention its cheapness)... all these factor's help in deciding its survival...

Really?
