  1. what saddens me here is CBS, FOX, and NBC canceling shows that had extremely strong second airing numbers (Jericho & Moonlight, K-ville & New Amsterdam, and Bionic Woman & Journeyman & Las Vegas respectively). I've contended for a while now that USA killing The 4400 and The Dead Zone was a bad idea, but their numbers really were falling.

    I just wish Nealson would include premier night second airings (ya' know, the 2 or 3 hours later "late night re-run" showing is when I watched most of those shows) in their numbers; and that someone would find a way to measure a larger population without those annoying Nealson boxes. The other thing about those shows is that their target demographic is the same demo- that doesn't mind downloading and watching shows from the net. I wonder how much that killed the numbers while boosting the fan base (of now very disappointed people)...

    Oh well, maybe they have some good new creative series writers waiting for a chance and we'll end up with the greatest serial ever. Here's to hoping.

I'm so very tired. It's almost all the time now.
