Well the 2.4 is the look at what Law& Order: SVU will be like come fall on wednesdays, why is NBC moving their best shows like Heroes or SVU to new timeslots if their already doing good? For Leno? I hope he flops bad.

I loved Glee last night. I hope it lasts, but I expect it not too. I almost wish it was on CW so there’d be no expectations for it.

I may or may not have watched the 56 minute version of the pilot tonight and it is even better. Fox should relaunch in the Fall with a commercial free airing of the long version.

i am still confused about Glee, i didnt really like the plot, but the way they took new songs and put a spin on them, that was real good! So i dont know if ill still watch it. and I have absolutley no clue how it will do. I will probably tune in for one or two more episodes and see how it is.

I think this is either going to be a REALLY BIG HIT OR A REALLY BIG FLOP… Nothing in between.

[...] May 21, 2009 at 1:03 am · Filed under Uncategorized I just got done watching the pilot for Ryan Murphy’s new “Glee” and I am so impressed. Who would have thought Fox’s next hit would be a scripted musical comedy? And while it might be a little early to call the show a hit, Fox was confident enough to give it an American Idol Finale lead-in last night and, as a result, 12 million viewers. [...]

The CW in Chicago (WGN) drew a 5.1 local rating in Chicago, which means that last night’s CW numbers will decrease somewhat.

I found Glee growing on me, I re-watched it on Hulu. I really think Hulu should start paying me for as much as I mention them…

Oh, what got me was the Grease scene more than anything, the look on Finn’s face in particular.

What made me cringe was the final few minutes of American Idol. I will admit to watching the first season a bit, there’s where I stopped. Will AI ever die?

Really liked Glee, especially the last 5 minutes, too bad they left the best so late intro the pilot. And thankfully it has nothing in common with the crappy HSM, no one is bursting in songs down the hallway in Glee

I was hoping Glee would do better than that! Thats pretty good numbers for 90210! Next season 90210 will probably start out with 3 million veiwers like Gossip Girl’s second season did!

I do not even remember seeing any previews for SVU this week and I always watch it…hm…good old NBC ruining another good show.
Medium was lucky to survive and hopefully prosper at CBS.
SVU is in trouble next year…it has big competition

We all know Reaper was never given a chance. It practically never airs on time in the Chicago market, and last night it was up against the finale of AI. Although, I have to say that Reaper did pretty well by not losing much of its live audience.

Any Reaper fans? Although the CW is not picking up Reaper, we not giving up yet. ABC Studios is still trying to move the show into syndication or cable. We’re advocating all Reaper fans to write their CW affiliates. All links and info here: http://community.livejournal.com/reaperdmv/44208.html And don’t forget to contact ABC Studios and thank them for not giving up on Reaper.

Hogwash- Hell’s Kitchen is a bad example of the problem with back-to-back seasons killing the show. HK has done extremely well being moved from summer to spring. The GOOD example you’d want to use is Big Brother. That show was a good performer in the summer, and totally bombed in the spring line-up, ratings-wise. Same with Last Comic Standing.

christina, I agree with you. Glee’s numbers from last night mean nothing. Glee’s numbers next fall, mean everything.

to set the record straight Glee’s version of Don’t Stop Believin’ is currently #3 on iTunes…and the show was realy good…the numbers don’t mean anything, wait til the fall, then everyone will know it and watch it…it started off with 12 million anyways which is really good considering it’s a new show, and i was definitely one of the 8 million that stayed to watch it.

Glee felt like it should have had a sharper edge. Too much bubblegum cuteness for my like, but I feel like that edge is there buried and waiting to come out. They did cast Jane Lynch after all, and for that reason alone I’ll keep watching. Now onto the ratings…The numbers were good, and the show has great buzz; people really seemed to like it. But when they air the next episode after a months of the air, what good will buzz in may do?

Great night for Dancing with the stars. the difference between having a 8 million lead in and a 3 or 4 million.

the mentalist should be at 9 on tuesday one more season… or at least fall, and rearrange in mid-.season.

Hogwash, HSM is very clear copy of Popular, a show that ran on the WB from 1999-2001. The same guy who came up with Popular is now doing Glee. To me, it felt like a reboot of Popular, only better.

I quite enjoyed Glee last night. And yes, Fringe did better in the demo but Fringe didn´t air against DWTS and The Mentalist seasons finale. Glee was bound to take a hit.
