Woohoo!!!!

Grey's deserves to be #1 and I'm thrilled it finally is. I think it can maintain a lead over CSI because of it's continuing plotlines as opposed to CSI's stand-alone format.

I'm also glad to see The Office beat My Name is Earl, imo it's a much funnier show.

I actually switched back and saw that part... not that anxious to see next week's, though the murder with the replica scene seems somewhat interesting.

I'm surprised "The Office" beat "My Name Is Earl" (and glad, I love Office more than "Earl"), they have really hyped it up since it's Emmy win.

About a year or two ago, I would agree with you but the last half of last year the show recovered creatively big time. It returned focus back to the ER rather then African and such and they have a rootable couple in Luka/Abby. The season finale and premiere for this year were superb and next week looks amazing. As long as it continues to do well and hold it's own, ER is going nowhere. I was so close to tuning out at the end of season 11 but now I find it better then Grey's Anatomy, which I feel is overrated but that IMO so to each his or her own :)

Thursday night is a tough night....there are just too many choices to watch. I really enjoy Earl, but usually choose Survivor. I've always liked CSI, but have been enjoying Grey's much more, so I chose that. I wanted to see 6 degrees, but wanted to see the conclusion to the ER finale from last season.

I could tape the ones I miss, but I'm too lazy to...guess I'll have to catch the shows I miss in reruns. :mellow:

Like I said in the GA thread, YES! Finally a show has ousted CSI, and deservedly so!! CSI has been number one for so long!! I can just imagine what will happen when GA gets bigger and better with its stories. The show has finally established itself and all the "Desperate Housewives" lead-in talk can be put to rest!!

LOL..

Honestly I don't see where all the "non-shocking" or this was expecting thing has come from... Everyone doubted that GA was going to make it on Thursdays. It was always labelled to be good because of its lead in. And the whole GA has to live up to its in its 2nd week thing doesn't really seem that much of a biggie. GA spent ALL SEASON last year doing this. When it ousted DH they said "it was a big week, will it do it next" and then it spent the rest of the season ousting DH.

CSI was "TV" it was TV's biggest show, not a network's biggest show, but TV's biggest show... it looks like GA is headed in that direction.

29 million for last year as opposed to 22 million this year. Wow. Huge drop.

Grey's is just taking off in terms of buzz IMO. It started when they started beating its lead in of DH.

I am very anxious to see how DH fairs. It really got good again near the end of last season after a disappointing slew of episodes. The premiere last year IMO was the best single episode of this series then quickly went downhill. The promos look interesting and I can't wait for the premiere. Marc Cherry is back really involved so hopefully that means good things.

If Brothers & Sisters can be a hit (which I think there is a good chance of happening) CBS's dominence I think is all but over. ABC has won the nightly races almost every night so far. ABC has come along way... all on the backs of DH, Lost and Grey's Anatomy. Now if only ABC could get their daytime department up to that level, they'd be the most dominant network on TV ;)

Zap2it.com is saying Ghost Whisperer posted a 6.4/12 in the 8pm hour.

It placed 2nd in its timeslot behind Deal or No Deal which posted a 7.4/13

I forgot about Ugly Betty. Now that's 7 shows for me on Thursday nights!

Then when NBC airs The Black Donnelly's during mid-season, it'll be 8 shows. :o

This will probably by The OC's last season, so I'll stay loyal to it.

Wow..Andre...Issues?

To make is simple...CSI has been on for a longer time than GA. Fact right?

GA has become the MUST see show over the past two years..Fact right?

When you put the two against each other...who do you think would win?

It is common sense..that is all I was saying.

Not needing your immature comments regarding my posts....

I have not read anywhere where anyone thought GA would be in trouble going against CSI...as it looks..>BOTH shows are goign to go well....but only one can be the winner...

if that makes me more knowledagble than you...I guess I have to accept that.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
