Of course you are talking about the Desmond episode a couple of weeks ago.

Chris

Well, that's the fault of the writer's strike... they only had the eight completed before the strike and once the strike was over I'm sure this show took longer to get back into production than most shows.

Reaper is holding steady...wonder if that means a renewal.

Yes, that episode was awesome. Desmond is probably my favorite character. It used to be Locke, but he's been in a holding pattern for a while now.

Just another comment on the show not coming back for a month. As someone else stated, that is definitely because of the writer's strike. I'm just extremely happy they are going to come back and finish the season (unlike Heroes). I know they had Lost on a pretty strick 3 season / 16 episode season. I didn't really want anything to mess that up because I'm assuming they've got the timeline decently mapped out.

Well, I understand the date, but moving it back to 10 pm is real stupid. When they did that last year, their ratings plummented. I know I won't be staying up that late to watch it, thanks to my dvr.

Chris

On the other hand, Lost now will have the huge lead-in audience of Grey's Anatomy. It'll be interesting to see if ratings will go up or down.

uggg... It boggles the mind how some of these shows are destroying quality shows like "New Amsterdam." I am really getting into that show, it's not even really a serial-type show. They give you the whole background of the story in the intro.

Even thought I never watch "Dancing with the Stars," at least it's a show that requires a little skill and a lot of practice. I just can't figure it out. 6 mil for "New Amsterdam." C'mon!

Idol needs to watch out for Dancing. Yay! :D

I think this might be the first time that the highest rated show for the week that I watched was How I Met Your Mother. Hopefully, CBS takes notice of the numbers and renews the show.

That's only because Sarah Chalke guest starred. ;)

I'm surprised Wife Swap is doing pretty well. I watch it. It comes and goes on the schedule.

Anyone know why Fox put Moment of Truth on at 8 rather than American Idol? Seems to me if they put MOT on AFTER Idol, it would get more viewers. It's not like there's any competition that would threaten Idol at 8 or anything...

2 weeks in a row where the highest rated show I watched was How I Met Your Mother? The end is near....:)

What's sad is that 14 out of the top 20 rated shows for the week were unscripted (though I use that term lightly in some cases)...

But most of the highly rated scripted shows aren't back with new episodes yet... CSI, Grey's Anatomy, Lost, Desperate Housewives, House... I'm sure it will be more balanced when those shows return.

^ Yeah, I know, but still... that's a lot of unscripted programs...
