Yes!!! Terminator stayed above 8.5M which I fully expected it would. Now hopefully it stays consistent in this range.

After all the Super Bowl advertising, I'm a bit surprised it was so low.

M*A*S*H will never be beaten, as it was during the 3-network days, now there are simply too many channels for any show to pull in that share.

The only thing I could possibly break it would be a Superbowl with two 18-0 teams from major markets.

I haven't checked in a while, but I'm surprised with the writer's strike that Friday Night Lights still can't pull much more than 5 million. And for the same reason, I'm surprised Terminator seems to be doing very sub-par.

The numbers for Terminator are pretty solid, but unspectacular. Considering it's lead-in Prison Break gets a little over 7M viewers, it's pretty fortunate to get 8.5M+ viewers.

Good to see Lost keep much of its audience from last week.

Lost was always gonna drop post-premiere numbers. I'll expect it to drop a little more next week, just 'cause it's Valentines Day, but be back to 15m or so the week after.

Lost's 18-49 figures are fantstic. I think around 15M viewers should be normal for it. Solid premiere figures for Survivor.

Not surprised at all about Eli Stone's lower numbers. I think it's something you either like or hate. Terrible debut for Lipstick.

NBC was promoting the hell out of it too. The "red carpet special" during the commercials of The Celebrity Apprentice were annoying as hell. The ratings went down, show by show for NBC.

I know ER doesn't have the ratings that it used to have, but with Lipstick Jungle getting around 3m viewers less than ER usually gets every week; I think NBC might end up renewing it. If you take a close look at NBC's lineup this year, you'd laugh. NBC has great programs, no doubt, but if Deal or No Deal is your biggest hit (a show that usually gets between 9-15m viewers), you've got a problem. When four sitcoms can't bring in the viewers two reality shows can bring in, NBC might be thinking about some changes. Scrubs is pretty much over, The Office gets decent enough ratings for NBC to keep, My Name is Earl is on the edge of either staying about the same, or losing a lot more viewers. 30 Rock will be NBC's "special child".

Nice to see Lost gain back viewers. ABC made a very smart move by waiting until January to air new episodes (so no repeats).

Note: "Las Vegas" increased by 41.57% in viewers out of "Friday Night Lights".

Amazing number (all thing's considered) for a rerun of "House". Fox should just have two hours of the show on Fridays...

Only 8.86m watched the AFC/NFC Pro-Bowl?

There is such a huge let down of excitement after the Super Bowl, I can't remember ever watching the Pro Bowl. Hell, my dad even won a trip out to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl and I didn't even watch it!

I caught a couple minutes of it (hell, I even forgot it was on!) but I had better things to do.

Looks like the Jericho campaign did no good for the ratings. Those ratings are pretty much what they were when CBS cancelled it, right?

The 10 PM hour needs a strong lead-in to be successful most of the time, something neither ABC nor CBS could pull off last night. Hell, I didn't even know there was a new episode of Boston Legal on last night, or I would have watched that instead of a re-run of L&O:SVU.

Local FOX affiliates must love American Idol, that has to be a huge boost for their 10 o' clock programming (generally the News... followed by Seinfeld.)

Yeah, Jericho isn't getting a third season after those shitty premiere numbers.
