Eddie, it’s playoffs. If the Cowboys had been playing, the ratings would’ve been even bigger.

Thank god I won’t have to hear the announcers go on and an about Manning for another week. Except to mention that he’s sitting at home watching the game on TV maybe.

If you scripted a story about how the Chargers finished the season, no one would believe it.

So much for the NFL needing the Cowboys for ratings, HA!

Well, that’s a shame i guess, because with only two (shortened) seasons left LOST has reached the point where the scripts and writing are so amazing and the stories are so tight that it is a joy to watch. Not to mention one of the best casts in the history of television, only behind the cast of The Wire, IMO.

When you see a show like… Heroes, where the scripts, the stories, the acting, the mythology has became so laughable and so very, very annoying you truly appreciate great TV like LOST.

Jack,
I used to watch LOST, and I ask the same question as Sarah now – Why haven’t they been rescued? Oh, because Professor Ben figured out a way to move the island…and there is a big evil gabillionaire behind it all…and there were time traveling rats….and six of them were rescued but they have a secret that’s got Gilligan Hurley back in the institution…
LOST definitely reached a “WHO CARES?” point for me last season. Once in a while I’ll check in on Desmond and Sayid, but that’s about it. I honestly don’t care who gets rescued, when, or how. Ben is annoying. Kate is annoying. Jack is annoying. Even Locke has gotten tiresome !

“Oh, why haven’t those people on Lost been rescued yet? You’d think they’d get rescued after landing on an island with polar bears and black blobs killing people”

It is interesting that people who actually don’t watch LOST ask these questions. : )

Thanks to you both for letting me know. There are fans of the series, and we watch and review each episode and post ratings. even though some of the stuff on the show insults the original 80s series fans we still watch it.

Sarah, Holly is right (and thank you). KR was beaten by reruns of Bones and Shrek 2 on New Year’s Eve. I’m just thankful that NBC didn’t decide to burn off a new episode of Life on NYE. I think around here, that would’ve set off a lot of woe and despair which I’m more than happy to see deferred to April or May. So far I’m not sensing woe or despair over Knight Riders’ certain doom.

Sarah, I’m assuming that since it was a holiday Robert and Bill took a much deserved day off and didn’t get around to posting the numbers. However Marc Berman posted at his site pifeedback.com Knight Rider got about 4.40 million viewers and a 1.1 in the demo.

I posted this on Thursday’s since it was the last posted but since this one was just posted maybe I’ll ask here.. What happened to Wednesday? I’d really like to see how Knight Rider did. Thanks.

I never used to be the type to stay home and watch sports. This Indy/SD game was a great event! I’m more hooked on football now than ever before .

NBC will be sad the NFL season has to end.

It’s the NFL…people will stay home to watch a NFL (playoff) game between two good teams.

How much more profitable would these types of football games be for NBC than the Olympics? I heard that NBC didn’t make a profit for the Olympics.

This shows that if you put a good game on Saturday night, people will stay home and watcyh it in lieu of risking drunks, cops after drunks, etc. ( I wonder how sports bar ratings are measured, since so many deals ar5e cut b/w restaurant chains and carriers?)
