* So tight is the race at 9 p.m. Wednesday that “Modern Family” was able to go from third place in 18-49 last week to a tie with “Criminal Minds” for first place this week. (Though, in terms of total viewers, “Minds” still gets 44% more.)
* Formerly mighty “SVU,” still in fourth place at 9 p.m., hit its best number of the season. Lead-in "Mercy" grew also.
* Every Wednesday show on CBS rose over last week.
* “The Middle,” which along with “Modern” and “Cougar” got an episode order last week that will carry it to season’s end, is getting clobbered by “Gary Unmarried” and has fallen behind “Mercy” in total viewers.
* “Hank,” the only Wednesday-night ABC sitcom that continues without a full first-season order (“Scrubs” and “Better Off Ted” are both expected back at midseason), remains solidly in fourth place behind a resurgent “Old Christine.”
* Still-sliding “Eastwick,” which also competes without a full-season order, is now tied with the bottom-dwelling “Leno” in 18-49, and at 10 p.m. sits solidly in last place in terms of total viewers.

Hank is awesome. I wish ABC would advertise it more.
-

Thursday has the best shows because it's the big money night.
by flim springfield
It's the last chance for advertisers to shape what you do on the weekend, especially what movie you see.
-
did some one say hank is awesome. the show is perdictable. oh he is rich now poor hahahahhahahaahha. ps first
-
... with VERY steady ratings and not a mention from Herc about one of the best shows of the season. No love for Glee???
-
I don't have DVR so I just have a VCR and I end up taping Glee. I got a huge kick out of Modern Family and they kind of conflict. Enter Hulu. By the way, why is there no Glee talkback? Jane Lynch gets some of the best one-liners of the week.
-
It loses audiences every week faster than most shows.
-
It had a timely death. Having said that, I would still watch when it returns. Of all the cast on the show, the only one that found a new tv job was the Janitor. The rest of the cast need to eat too. I wonder if any of them would return.
-
...for Glee! I agree with drewlicious. Glee is pure fun.
-
The plot of the episode could be how Leno raped SVU's ratings by moving them from Tuesdays at 10 where they owned the hour to a more competitive Wednesday at 9PM where they have fallen to fourth.
-
Jane Lynch is the reason I watch Glee and risk the reputation to my manhood. The woman deserves her own series. Everything she does is hilarious. Finally an episode where they display her comic talents in full force.
Even if you hate Two and a Half Men, her episodes where she plays the psychiatrist are comedy gold. -

The Lindsay Price curse(Eastwick) is taking hold!
by hollywoodhellraiser
How nobody seen this coming is beyond me!
-
that whole Sue's Journal thing from last week was goddamn hilarious. She was in form again last night calling out the minorities.
Not as big a fan of the big overproduced numbers, but apparently they have to keep doing them in order to sell songs on itunes (which is apparently getting the show by, hard to believe based off these ratings). -
But I feel my dick getting smaller already.
-
would make for a GREAT comedy hour. I hope ABC does that when they bring that AMAZING gem of a show back.
-
I'll watch it when it returns but felt last year's finale made for a great series finale.I'm liking Eastwick more and more as each week goes by. So I expect to hear of its cancellation any day now.Glee is a great feel-good show. Doesn't fully fill that void left by Pushing Daisies demise but I don't know what will (the Kristin Chenoweth guest appearance on Glee came pretty close). Sue's lines make me think that's what Michael Scott would be like if he was better educated and evil.
-
"Everytime I see your head I expect to see a bird land in it and lay sulforous egg. It's disgusting." There were too many to list last night.

getting SERIOUSLY fucking tired of these doom and gloom updates
by billboefett
"do you know what I am saying?"
-
completely OWNS law and order svu!well written,well acted-that show is the best cop show on right now!
-
Grammer ought to be ashamed.Glee is like Popular with singing and a nastier edge. All those years of Nip Tuck must have changed Murphy.
-
Is 16 reasons I rarely even turn the damn TV on Wednesday nights.
-
Did not laugh once.
Could one please cancel that shit? -
we really enjoy the show. but how have Hank and Cougar not been canceled yet? Horrible shows. and how is Scrubs being brought back? i thought it had met its end.
-
What? Do sitcoms have to be edgy and "socially conscious" to be "good" now-a-days? Hank is the story of the American businessman trying to re-integrate into a society that no longer embraces him. It's not complex, but it doesn't pretend to be.
Also, Cougar Town is hilarious:
"I can't believe I was married to a guy who keeps his license in a box."
"A box marked important." -
They really need to do some schedule shuffling, because Friday and Thursdays are where all the good TV is at... Thursdays: Supernatural, Flashfoward, Fringe, The Vampire Diaries (yes I've actually been digging it), and Bones. Friday has Smallville, Monk, Psych, Dollhouse, and Medium. Tuesday has nada cept 90210 which Im forced to watch, same with Weds. They need to do some schedule switching
-
The Forgotten and Eastwick seem to be sliding fast. Will Lost be a Tuesday at 10pm show or a Wednesday at 10pm?
-
Oct 16, 2009 12:26:55 PM CDT
I think that Lost could be getting, The Forgotten's time slot.
by jamie mcbain
But that's just my wild guess.
-
the 18-49 ratings next to the total viewers ratings for comparison sake...how bout it?
-
I can't bring myself to watch Grammar for one minute more the rest of my life so I haven't seen Hank. The Good Wife is pretty compelling, Cougar Town and Modern Family are both really funny too. And Tuesday nights are happy for me because of Sons of Anarchy.
-
when it first started. I kinda thought it was gonna be a bit "edgy" & the chosen songs would be relative to the storylines. That is not the case. It's being bogged down by cliche quad-durple love triangles & pregnacies that have random interjected song numbers. I'd like to see the high school kids acting more like high school kids & having subtexty comparble problems to the adults, not the *exact* same problems.
Also have a problem with the dubbing. Dr. Horrible was made for .75 and it has better syncing musical numbers. It's like Ashley Simpson, fer feck's sake. There is some snappy dialogue & good acting but it kinda gets overwhelmed by the tardiness sometimes. -
It's a decent show with a good cast. Much better than crap like Heroes.
