JACK!!! (KIMMIE!!!!1! ***EDGAR***!!!!!!11!11!!1)

(You know, you combine the 2-hour "24", with last night's 90-minute
rerun of the "Degrassi:TNG" school shooting episodes on The N, and you
had yourself 3+ hours of *hard core* entertainment, folks!! And that's
not even counting The Horatio!!11!)

Ian J. Ball...

One of its highest ratings for this one in a while.

Ian J. Ball...

81.5% retention. I think "Out of Practice" did do better than this...

NBC - "Medium" - 7.8/12 (10.46 million)
NBC - "The Apprentice" - 7.5/11 (9.81 million)

Ian J. Ball...

Oh, God, why?...

ABC - "Supernanny" - 6.9/10 (9.69 million)
CBS - "King of Queens" - 6.7/10 (10.61 million)
ABC - "Miracle Workers" (debut) - 6.5/10 (8.53 million)
CBS - "How I Met Your Mother" - 6.5/9 (10.22 million)

Ian J. Ball...

I'm starting to get the feeling that CBS is going to ignore Rob & me,
and use HIMYM to anchor Monday nights next season. I don't think this is
wise...

ABC - "Wife Swap" - 6.3/9 (8.60 million)
WB - "7th Heaven" (repeat) - 2.8/4 (3.40 million)

Ian J. Ball...

More Rose please!!

UPN - "Girlfriends" (repeat) - 2.6/4 (3.23 million)
UPN - "All of Us" (repeat) - 2.5/4 (3.23 million)
UPN - "Half & Half" (repeat) - 2.3/3 (2.86 million)
UPN - "One On One" (repeat) - 2.3/3 (2.75 million)
WB - "Related" - 2.1/3 (2.57 million)

Ian J. Ball...

Ouch.
And now that they've pretty much phased out the (forced) comedy in favor
of (unpleasant) melodrama, does anyone really wish to have this show
return?!...

Cheers,

TD (aka Rhonda)

Monday, Monday, can't trust that day
Monday, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
from The Mamas and The Papas' "Monday, Monday"

for a good time call
