Retention out of Two and a Half Men is horrible and its bringing down numbers for CSI: Miami. Again Earl should not be on the Cancellation likely list. If anything would be cancelled between Cold Case and Without a Trace it would be Without a Trace just based on the fact that CBS moved it to the deadly Tuesday night 10pm slot. And Ugly Betty definitely won't be cancelled this season. Worst Week should be put on the likely to be cancelled list.

Having it go up against Heroes means I have to watch it on Tuesdays on Fox.com. I love both shows, but Heroes means a must watch. I’d love it if they moved Prison Break to 8 or on a different night.

If indeed this index proves to be true, then fans of shows on the verge of cancellation can watch it en force and help their friends jump on board, as well. What would be cool would be to factor in DVD sales of shows that are in their second season or beyond; I don't know the TV industry intimately, but I imagine that strong DVD sales (such as for Family Guy) help keep shows on the air. I, too, want to see Sarah Connor Chronicles stay on the air; I just got on board with this show (even though I'm a huge fan of the Terminator mythology, it somehow took me a year to watch this...) and I am impressed with the writing and pacing of it. If SCC can't make it through this year on FOX, I think NBC should pick it up and place it before Heroes, giving a Monday night Sci-Fi vibe along the likes of their Thursday night Comedy block.

Like The Starter Wife (can't remember the network - maybe USA) and Eureka and SG-Atlantis on SciFi. Just for comparison, really - I know those networks have lower viewership, but the non-traditional networks are pumping out some phenomenonally great shows.

It will be in this weeks Index though. Likely posted late Tuesday or early Wednesday. ABC premiered lots of shows last week, and things could shift around a bit, so its hard to tell where PP will be till I get the numbers.

I've seen the ratings for Private Practice for the SP and it wasn't good at all after all that promotion ABC put into. It started strong last season, but dropped a lot before the strike. How is that show doing? Bill. I’ve seen the ratings for Private Practice for the SP and it wasn’t good at all after all that promotion ABC put into.
