Unfortunately, our analysis overall is that DVR viewing that occurs after the night the program aired is meaningless in terms of ad revenue, and only valuable for press releases. Though this is probably not quite as true for shows airing at 10pm, it’s likely still mostly true anyway (because nobody watches commercials via DVR).

But I get by unmeasurable volumes of bottled H2O. Which is really funny because whenever I go out my friends get free drinks cause I hit up the bartender for drinks, and pass it on to them. But the ironic thing is that I don’t drive, so I can’t be the designated driver, and they say it would be plus to hit two birds with one stone, free drinks and a designated driver in one.

And though awards are seemingly understated when it comes to ratings, it must urk some board members that they have the most viewed tv shows in TV land, yet are black balled when it comes to award season in the drama department.

Also, I know I am going to be labeled a conspiracy theorists when it comes to this generality, but did anyone realize that Jerry Bruckheimer eliminated one black actor from his show, as another black actor was coming on board. Maybe I am the only one breathing too much into this because I am black, but he did this once before with POTC 2 -> 3, he dropped one black actress in favor of the lead which was also black. I noticed this because she was featured in the commercials for the 1st POTC. Once is excusable, but twice becomes suspect. What, 2 blacks can’t share the same screen time at once?

But I doubt anyone will really take this act seriously, they only sit up and take notice when spike lee addresses these issues.

with that said, I think that Private Practice would do so much better if they put it after Grey’s at 10pm

Tut tut. Be nice.

Which would you rather be? Mad Men (and I love this show) with ~1.5 million viewers and a best drama Emmy or Burn Notice (and I confess, I enjoy BN more) with over 4 million viewers?

PD isn’t going *anywhere* but OUT after it’s 13 episodes unless Jesus makes an appearance and says “RESURRECT THIS SHOW” (unlikely). Otherwise, it’s done like Moonlight.

CBS already *knows* how Christine does in the Monday 9:30 spot (better than Worst Week!). It needs something to ANCHOR its Wednesday comedy block, and so it will try to keep Christine there. I don’t see that changing unless CBS gives up on a Wednesday comedy block which does not seem likely for now.

Not only that but they are doing the right thing and trimming down the cast, letting character acting take center stage.

I saw LOM last night, I enjoyed it, Harvey Keitel looks like he would be up for an award nod next year, regardless of LOM being on the R/C index. Though this show is getting pounded in the ratings, they should ditch Eli Stone and give LOM a lead in from DWTS. Either Mon Or Tues, LOM looks like it could have been a shoe in to take up with the NYPD audience, though considerably less nitty gritty.

PD should go after DHH. Brothers and Sisters have been hanging onto their coat tails for far too long.

FYI, CBS is going to place Garry Unmarried after Two and a Half Men next week, I feel as if Christine deserves that spot a whole lot more. But I think that overall CBS is doing the smart thing by restructuring their procedurals. It should work.
