Damn, cbs is losing viewers quick. Some of those shows had higher ratings last year.

[R!ck]

It sounds so good to say Jennifer Finnigan has the #1 show on Friday nights

[SteveFrame]

I am glad to see that Law & Order did fairly well on Friday night. I was really worried that NBC put it in the death slot so they could cancel it.

I really like the 2 new ladies who have joined the cast. They are very good and give it a new feel.

I am shocked that The Amazing Race is not doing well. CBS should have never moved it.

[poohbear19]

Me too! I went back to watching it, because that other guy left... and I instantly like the new girls compared to him. I thought the murder was good too.

[DaysGal]

I'm surprised at the "middle of the road" ratings for Cold Case.

It should have ranked right up there with Without A Trace.

Thanks for posting, Rick.

[King]

I always give credit where credit is due. I hated DH Last season. I loved the first season. I watched the season premierem, and it was very good!

I am also very glad that Brothers and Sisters did well! I hope it maintains its audience.

[Mitchapalooza]

NBC is definetly off to a better start than last season.

Last night I heard Heroes pulled a 10.0 in the HH ratings. IMPRESSIVE!

[Adam]

Yay for Brothers & Sisters AMAZING debut.

[sheilaforever]

I was shocked by that. This was the one and only CBS show that hardly got a renewal and now they are the highest ratest show on Fridays!?

You go Jennifer! Hopefully the numbers will remain steady...

[danthig]

Considering that Cold Case is airing against Desperate Housewives Cold Case is doing good in the ratings even though Housewives is beating it.That would be good counterprogramming.I hope NBC is not trying to kill the original Law and Order show because if that show goes it would only be a matter of time before SVU and Criminal Intent go by the domino effect.
