In USA Today they report The Talk is down 16% from ATWT a year ago.

But ATWT is still canceled???

Link to that? I can't find it.

At the end of the day, even if it's down 16% in HH, it's doing well in demographics and is cheap to run and co-owned by CBS.

Let's see how many more times this is going to need to be said.

Enough for these ATWT fanbois to get the hell over it.

The only way I can is if it surfaces on YouTube! I really, really hope it ends up online!

OLTO has a lot of GL stars now - so I have gone there and the talk ratings is in the U.S. Today paper today - with other ratings of other shows - however if the blah-blah gets a zero rating it will not be taken off - cause CBS will never take a Julie C. show off 'cause of CBS boss/hubby.

Well that's just plain incorrect. If the show fails, it'll be cancelled. Les Moonves is interested in making money for his network, simple as that.

DAMFan, for once amid the incoherent ranting, has it about half right.

Les Moonves won't cancel The Talk in a year. He will give it time to grow and if it comes to it...he'll place it in another timeslot. If it still underperforms, he'll get rid of it.
