R.G., during the Terminator down time you should check out Chuck. It’s really a great show.

David, the numbers were not that great. It was around 6-8mil until Idol started. But that was the first spring after it premiered, when it shot up to the 14 mil mark.

Actually it premiered to pretty good numbers when it first started, but obviously AI helped it.

Well, this is no surprise to me either. I watched House from day one back in November of 2004 when nobody else was watching it. It only gained steam around a year and a half later when the American Idol-viewers began watching it. USA airs a lot of the first-second season shows that most people did not even watch, so it’s no surprise that it gets a lot of viewership on USA versus a show like CSI, where 60-70% of viewers have been watching since Day One.

Catherine, in fact, since I came to House only last season, I’m still catching up on the episodes I’ve not been able to find online!

I usually watch part or all of “House” on USA when I accidentally run into it evenings and weekends when there is nothing else to watch. It is amazing how they hold up, even the ones I wasn’t overly fond of in the first place.
