(NEW) Shows that I watch:

Heroes (NBC)
My Name is Earl (NBC)
The Office (NBC)
E.R. (NBC)

Everything else I watch are reruns (Seinfeld and Everybody Loves Raymond)
whoops, I forgot about ER... how are you liking the new season ?

Meh, it's holding my attention. That's about it.



With ER, just watch the Season Finale and the Season Premiere like I do. They are the only 2 episodes that are exciting. The rest is usually fluff with Abby being upset or something dumb like that.

LOL, that's actually very true! :D At least in the last 5 year or so, that's been the case.

It's usually some contagious virus, fire, helicopter crash, explosion, balcony collapse or gunfight :D

NBC only has one good show, that's Friday Night Lights, everything else is a bomb. I bet their SNF rankings are lower than when ESPN ran it.


FNL is a major dud. You might like it and I think it's okay, but not many are watching. Last week it was a 4.0 rating with a 6 share. That's one of the reasons why NBC is tanking. They put a lot of effort and promo money behind FNL and Studio 60 and neither one has done anything near expectations. Heroes is their only new show doing anything in the ratings.


That does suck. I like it, it's ok to watch. Def not my fav but watchable. I forgot about NBC having the Office. I love that show, one of my favs.

Fox seems to be the only network I watch if left to my own devices (I watch the CSIs because my wife likes them):

Prison Break
House
Justice
Standoff

Not really. NBC had a killer Thursday night lineup through much of the 90's. Looks like it will be a good year for Fox considering that their ratings powerhouse show American Idol is not even on at the moment.


and 24. :)

FOX has House, the OC, Prison Break and American Idol when it comes out around

Hard to compete with those shows when the best one you got has a tiny constipated looking asian that can somehow change time

fixed

LOL, that why they have the bad ratings, no one knows what channel the shows are on.

People are just not open to "progressive" shows like the ones shown on NBC. Studio 60, Heroes, My Name is Earl, The Office are the only network shows I watch besides football across the networks on Sundays. In fact, I don't even watch CBS's sunday game 'cause they don't broadcast that in HD. They do however replay the game in full HD a week later on digital cable.

Heroes ain't too shabby, and their game shows Deal or No Deal and 100 to 1 (?- is that what it's called?) are fun too.

And you would lose that bet.

SNF is now out-drawing MNF.
