cesarrr, really, PUSHING DAISIES may be pretentious, but that’s why most people LOVE it and why it’s so amazing! Everyone PLEASE give Pushing Daisies a chance. I mean for a first episode Bzzzzzz may not been as amazing as i hoped but still it was extremely entertaining and so is the whole show!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t know what i’d do without it. It just gives you a great feeling and PLEASE everybody, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch pushing daisies and give it a chance. It ends with such a great feeling and it’s one of the cleaner, happier, and most colorful shows out there. It’s GR8!!! And i’m not going to take it easy if they let it go. It’s so creative and fun and my friends and I (after watching each episode) spend tons of time predicting and talking about it! Its such a great show. SO EVERYBODY WATCH IT SO IT CAN STAY ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLZ!!

Knight Rider was a HUGE improvement over a week first week showing.. I think that if it does keep up the level of writing from this past wednesdays episode it could survive this whole season and possibly move on. give it one more chance

I was sure Knight Rider was a goner after last week’s show (and terrible writing) but I decided to give it one last try. I’m glad I did and it seems others did to. The show was fun and the storyline was a lot more interesting and fun. If they can keep this up, there is hope yet!

Julia, I agree that part of the overall decline (excepting CBS and the CW) may be due to the strike, but I don’t think ABC’s Wednesday numbers can be blamed on that. PD and DSM had both lost a huge portion of their viewers by the time they ended last year, viewers who were not going to come back. They would have gotten these numbers or worse last season if there hadn’t been a strike. ABC should have expected these numbers.

[...] you of the tragic fates of other quality shows that reward attention and devotion. After seeing Wednesday’s ratings, I’m coming on bended knee to beg you to give Pushing Daisies a chance. Give yourself a [...]

I thought Knight Rider was a train wreck last week too. BUT, last night’s episode was excellent. It had direct similarities to the 80’s show. I felt like I was a kid again. I wish they led of the season with last night’s show.

K.I.T.T. “turbo boost”!

Ben, after the last strike, 10% of the audience just never returned to broadcast TV. It had a very lasting effect, and this one likely did, too.

The problem with Knight Rider, to me, is that the plot is non-existent, the Ford-centricness of the embedded advertising is distracting, and the actors and characters are uninteresting. The original KR was cute because the Hoff was a nut and the show was funny — same with the A Team. KR just falls flat to me.

If these lower ratings are primarily due to the strike, I wouldn’t have thought that it would have had this much of a lasting impact on the new season.

I don’t really know if DSM is best suited to following Private Practice…to me it seems liek a show that should follow Desperate Housewives, but then again that was trialed here in Australia and it didnt really give a big boost

PP is the biggest worry i would say for ABC…it’s gone from 11 Mil to 8…so much for a re-boot hey?
Wednesday’s are utterly dominated by three shows – Bones, CM & CSI:NY

I hate Pushing Daisies and I hope it gets cancelled soon. That show is too pretentious.

john… the story lines and episodes of dh are awful? there’s been 1 episode. and most people liked it. since terminator is on it’s way out… and it’s the only thing you seem to like… then maybe you better find a new form of entertainment to invest your time in. may i suggest reading? form your own band? learn to bake? knitting? ice sculpting? there are many other options. find something soon because tv seems to be causing you so much heartache… i wish you well.

Whatever happens, I just hope that Prison Break has at least a conclusive ending, even better with a full last season.

Ben, my understanding is that it’s all about the 18-49 viewers in terms of money making, so it’s likely that the revenue potential for Private Practice and AGT would be fairly similar if last nights ratings were to hold for the season. While AGT has more older viewers, and PP more younger viewers, I’m not sure how those differences would effect the revenue potential.

However, its likely that Private Practice is much more expensive than AGT, so AGT is likely a far more profitable show.

I’m from Australia, where the demos aren’t always published with the total viewers, which is very misleading. I was wondering if anyone knows, as an example, who would make more money, or roughly how much more from this night’s ratings: NBC with America’s got talent or ABC with private practice, given that the former had 4 million more viewers, and the latter had better demos in the 18-34. Would it be close?

You guys..you can’t take Knight Rider so seriously..it is meant for pure enjoyment and make believe..We need that now a days! Life is too serious and we all need a break. Besides, that Shelby looks cool.

Actually what’s now being talked about is how FOX will probably move Prison Break to Wednesdays and leave Terminator to die on Monday’s.

And Robert I think Ford did pay, a lot. It was in an article I read a while back. I’ll try to find it. I have to say though I am completely surprised KR is hanging in there. The show is so ridiculous it’s essentially unwatchable. Curious to see if it makes a full season.

Outlander, wrong enough all by myself, NBC is now providing an assist.

Momma’s Boys will air at 9pm Wednesdays beginning Oct 29 and till then it looks like it will be Biggest Loser.

Fox should move TSCC to Til’ Death’s time slot. It would probably do a lot better there than it’s current timeslot, and would definitely do better than Til’Death. Of course Fox won’t do this, they’d rather just say “KILL KILL KILL!”. So, kill Til’ Death already!

I really like Knight Rider..takes my mind off all the troubles of the world and economy. Just pure fun .. just like las vegas was. I miss las vegas.

Bob, I’m guessing that according to the Renew or Cancel Index it will not have any hope at the levels it’s currently performing at. How long CBS will stick with trying to build a Wednesday comedy block (or with the current shows in it) is unknown. Regardless, ultimately with numbers like these… The numbers need to go up or it will be cancelled. It was 3rd among 18-49 year olds and last among 18-34 year olds for that half hour.

If CBS pulls the plug on Wednesdays its possible that it too would be considered for the slot Worst Week is currently in on Mondays.

what do u guys think of gary unmarried? does that have a shot? It did gain viewers from old christine, and it gained in overall viewers from last weeks episode. It wasnt promoted very much, but it is actually funny. What do you guys think?
