Update 3/19/09: the previous version of this post incorrectly and inadvertently omitted Law & Order: SVU — the network’s #1 show for the week. The table has been corrected. I apologize for the error.

So even though Chuck took a dip in ratings last week, it still made the top ten. Good news, I hope.
Where’s SVU on this list? They definitely had a new episode last week.
Andrew, you’re right. They actually should be #1 on that list with a 7.2 HH rating and 11+ million viewers.
Terrible ratings for NBC!
I read in the TV Guide that you are thinking of replacing the Medium and Law and Order for Jay Leno. I occasionally watch Jay Leno, but I do not want a daily dose of him every night, especially when he is replacing two of my favorite shows. There are too many talk shows and reality shows. I for one am sick of them. The good shows are being replaced by talk and reality shows. Let’s kool it on them and keep the good shows on the area. If this is what NBC is going to be producing, I will be one less viewer.
Where is Knight Rider? I want the show to come back for season 2….it was finally getting better.
R. Duque, Knight Rider’s season ended a few weeks ago. It is not likely to be coming back next season.
