I am so glad CSI is beating Grey's! I know it won't last long, CSI being no. 1, that is.

Wow, this is great! Thanks for posting Toups!

Yay for Dancing With the Stars, The Unit and Criminal Minds And especially for Survivor being so far ahead of The Amazing Race.

I am so glad CSI is beating Grey's! I know it won't last long, CSI being no. 1, that is.

I think CSI will remain #1 for the season. I don't see Grey's or DH beating it this year (for the season).

No, no, DH and Grey's won't beat it. But some other show might.

Like what? I think the only show that has a shot is NCIS.

I think the other networks should name a procedure show SIC or ISC - those letters seem to have luck.

Wish B&S was higher.
