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

[Cheyenne]

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.

[Toups]

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

[Sylph]

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

[Toups]

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.
