I love the fact that The Office was the highest rated NBC show on Thursday night. I hope that they can keep up the ratings against the formidable competition that is Grey's Anatomy and Survivor.

And CSI when it premieres in October(?).

Ranger

Yeah, I'm a little surprised. But NCIS isn't a bad show.

I don't follow these numbers as near as closely as some of you as I usually just wait for dvd sales and such...but those seem to be great numbers for the Mentalist. Any predictions on it sustaining such viewership? Seems NCIS will help it greatly.

Red Dog

I gave up on both of them this season. Apparently I wasn't the only one.

Gizmo

Poor Summer Glau...she never catches a break. Hopefully Terminator manages to stay on the air to at least cross-promote the new film.

Ranger

One tree hill got more viewers than Gossip Girl? That's whack.

House is still a little low.

Looks like 90210 is doing well for the CW's standards.

Goldberg74

Fringe is holding on.

RichC2

That People: Half Their Size special was the worst piece of shit excuse for programming I've seen in quite sometime. And I have a high tolerance for crap.

nateman

It's up 0.84 from last week. NCIS is still beating it though, and by 4.49m. I guess it is nice knowing the numbers House, M.D. gets when American Idol isn't on. That 4.49m is about what House, M.D. is missing for its usual viewership when AI is on.

Considering it is on the same night that NCIS, Dancing with the Stars, Law & Order: SVU and Without a Trace is on I think it is doing alright. It isn't even close to cancellation.

^ Thanks Chris. Yeah, I probably won't have the time to provide the weekly ratings, so I appreciate if you can keep these coming.


Interesting that ABC held 5 of the top 10 programs, and nice to see NCIS at #5 in there.

mrpayroll

I will try to post these on Wednesdays. I was out sick yesterday, but luckily we still had the Calendar section of the LA Times when I got in today.

...and just got a full season pick-up as well.

Patman

Ouch, ABC can't be happy with their Wednesday night line-up's performance.

Axeramm

Maybe they shouldnt have waited until all the other networks had already aired some of their Wed lineup.

DJariya

What a disastrous start for these ABC dramas. That's a very disappointing start for Pushing Daisies. Cosidering these shows have been off the air since last November/December some clueless Nielsen viewers probably forgot they were on or something.

Oh yeah, Knight Rider on the rise

Ranger

wtf. Knight Rider got more than Dirty Sexy Money?

TheMovieman

What should be more concerning is it only got 7m viewers in a timeslot it should've done better in (especially vs. Lipstick Jungle) and the fact it lost 1m viewers from its lead-in.

Ph8te

Happy to see that the people watching at still watching ........This had a full season pick up for me since the beginning cant give up on Daniels opps I mean Lance Reddick that easily .......Plus its good to see that its doing well in the 18-49 demo. I am guessing the better ratting in the 18-49 the better for the show (Fox has 1-2 for that night). Hopefully they dont pull this show half way through.....
