For those of you who say The Office doesn’t have any likeable characters, you must not watch the show. You must be as stupid as Marc Berman.

Thanx guys…

Eli does find itself in a Jericho position – but with ‘just enough’ more viewers to get renewed – I think.

also… the 30 Rock blurb should have read:

30 Rock is my favorite of the four NBC sitcoms, but I wonder if it is ‘too’ smart to be following Earl (two completely different viewer demos).

I think you not liking The Office likely has more relevance than any non-scientific interweb polling. Otherwise, Jericho would be the #1 show in the country, followed closely by Battlestar Galactica, Moonlight and Big Brother.

ER will be back next year, but according to NBC it will be its final season.

Office has excellent number, but I do agree that it is lacking in likeable characters.

Earl fans have been complaining that the current direction of the show is not what they tune in for – but since the coma story has to play out, they’re stuck waiting for the ‘old’ Earl to return.

Eli consistently gets among the highest tv.com ratings and has a very loyal following:

I predicted 6.5 mil/view in against a new ER (which did terribly, I thought – is this the last year?) and a good rerun of WOT.

30 Rock is my favorite of the four NBC sitcoms, but I wonder if it is ‘too’ to be following Earl (two completely different viewer demos).

Eli was kind of obligated to have the season finale a cliffhanger because of its status. Regular viewers knew what to expect, at least if you read the forum posts for the show.

A non-scientific poll open to all tv.commers did not show a single person who thought the show should be canceled.

But remember to come right back to TV by the Numbers when you’re done looking.

I agree that next THURSDAY going to be crazy! With the office, lost, Grey’s anatomy, and ugly Betty which I ALL watch…Thankfully, I have a PVR!!!!

However, I am MOST excited about Gossip Girl’s return this MONDAY at 8PM on CW! Can’t wait!

Suck that Eli Stone did bad. Cute show…but didn’t like the finale. It was really picking up in teh last few episodes too!

I’m very heartbroken seeing Eli Stone’s ratings. I really love that show, the first scripted show I have ever watched on TV. I really hope ABC renews it, I would be so disappointed if it were cancelled.

Jake, i agree that’s probably as good as it gets for The Office, but that’s plenty good. Last week only 11 primetime shows had a 4.0 rating in the 18-49 demo and 3 of them were American Idol and one of them was the NCAA BBall final. it’s elite company to be in these days.

Perhaps someday. In the meanwhile you can see April 7-11 data from the ABC press release here.
