Not much to say for changes for this week. Community moves to 8:00 Eastern on Thursday. It's followed by Parks and Recreation and a one-hour episode of The Office. 30 Rock comes back next week. Then on Saturday night, CBS has college football with Florida @ LSU.
I thought this was a typo, so I looked it up myself. NOW I think you're, incredibly, UNDERstating the figures because between the CBS press release and another source I found agree on 4.8/14 for the demo and 21,371,000 viewers (give or take a thousand).
So.....has "NCIS" always been a ratings powerhouse and I just haven't been paying attention? (Do YOU watch it? I don't. Maybe I should!)
Originally posted by spfI know NCIS does huge numbers, but it is such a CBS show, in that I don't know anyone under the age of 40 who likes it.
I'm 32 and I love it. I didn't discover it until last year when USA was running it like ALL DAY and I then started watching watching it normally on CBS last year.

Hey, Cote de Pablo, Lauren Holly, and Sasha Alexander are pretty attractive too!
In fact, I've hated Perrette's character Abby since Alexander left the show. Kate-era Abby was a really cool, laid back, bad-ass, goth chick. Ziva-era Abby is a manic, neurotic, mess.

Guilty as charged. Though, I like how it's a more, shall we say...accessible version of CSI. Not sure if it's the right word, but I find it's an easier show to watch than CSI New York.
I'm totally loving BIG BANG THEORY right now. The entire Penny/Leonard storyline is pretty sweet.
And Hell's Kitchen continues to be another show I can't stop watching, even though it's starting to get old. Every single episode is terribly overdramatic "This Has Never Happened In Hell's Kitchen" or "A Hell's Kitchen You'll Never Forget" but I guess I keep watching because I want to see Tenneal die a horrible death...maybe by suffocating when her overly large mouth gets glued together with some adhesive. I predict that if she actually wins the competition, the staff at the restaurant she'll work at will quit within a week.

She needs to quit talking like she's always shouting.
Because of Hell's Kitchen, I got into The F Word on BBC America. Now, I can't get the damn theme out of my head. If you haven't seen it, or his other shows, it's just amazing how pleasant and funny he is outside of the kitchen.

Me too. I was very surprised to see this show hit such high ratings. Don't get me wrong, it's just weird that a show I like is attracting viewers. Nice Subtle reference (with the cartoon Penny asked about) to "Two 1/2 Men" on tonight's show though.
How I met your Mother is turning me off this season so far. I'm guessing not bad for Monday night ratings, but the show is getting weak with it's unrealistic situations. Maybe it's time to jump the shark and introduce the the mother?
Is Leno tanking or are those good numbers considering that he is on five days a week?
I am terrified about Big Bang Theory since they put Leonard and Penny together. Its only matter of time till they break-up and become the on and off couple like Sam and Diane from Cheers. My worse fear is that they will kill one of them, but that is due to watching too many Joss Whedon shows. I do think the show is missing something with Leonard being out of the geek group, but I'll take it for someone to write a really good relationship on television without into cliche territory. I did love the goth chicks though since most of them are either self-loathing or normal girls who like the outfits and tats.

Seconded, but I think for a slightly different reason. While the first three episodes have been OK at advancing the Barney/Robin story, they haven't been particularly, well, funny.
lol Mustache Marshall, Butch Robin, and Stripper Lily. He said they found their other doppelgängers later that year, so we can expect to see more of that. Kind of like the slap bet (which I believe has two slaps remaining).
I missed this week's BBT. And unfortunately there's no legal way to watch episodes of BBT online. Get with the program, CBS.
Leno has stabilized. His ratings this week were the same as the week before. NBC said anything above a 1.5 means they're making money, because it's so much cheaper than scripted TV. I heard an expert say the real question will be how the affiliates feel about it. If the bad ratings for Leno lead to lower ratings for the 11 pm Eastern news broadcast, that could lead to affiliates refusing to air it, which definitely would mean bad things.

I'm surprised there isn't more talk of the show on this board. It's standard reality show fare (including cliffhanger commercial breaks and whatever else) but it's quite compelling at times.

Well... the theme song is crappy, for sure, but I am liking the characters. Linda Hunt getting a regular paycheck is a big plus. I like how they call her the midget ninja.
LL Cool J, so far, is the weak link for me. I just don't buy him as a Navy SEAL.
As for the main show, it's awesome, I've watched it from day one, but then I was also a fan of JAG too.

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/06/15/new-looney-tunes-cast-revealed/ Nothing too radical in the appearance department. Really hoping that the show will be funny as it would be *great* to have another actually funny show to watch with my kids vs.
