Figures in grey are for repeats.
* “Survivor” hit a season high with a dramatic but unusually vote-free episode.
* “Grey’s Anatomy” rebounded slightly to hit its second-worst rating ever.
* “The Office” rose to solidify its status as NBC’s top-rated scripted series. “30 Rock,” which also rose, is number-two in that category.
* “Parks and Recreation” matched its season high in 18-49. “Parks” and “Community” on Friday earned the “back nine” episode orders that will carry both series to May.
* NBC was hoping “The Jay Leno Show” would improve when its competition went into repeats, but “Leno” actually matched its Thursday low in 18-49 against a “Mentalist” rerun.
* “FlashForward” fell to third place in the 8 p.m. slot thanks to Fox switching from “Bones” to baseball.
* “The Jeff Dunham Show” immediately became Comedy Central’s most-watched series.

They are poising this as a replacement for Lost and a lot of people were probably watching because they knew "Charlie" was going to be in it. Here we are 5 episodes in and he has been in for maybe a minute and only in the 4th episode. Any teenage girls watching for him probably dropped out by the 2nd or 3rd episode.
-
When Jeff was giving Russell a peptalk as he was basically dying I almost went cryface.
It should also be noted that Monica is the week link and Shambo is a stronger player but once the merge happens she's gonna jump ship and strengthen the other tribe. I'd vote her out now . . . and besides, Monica is a hot little box. -
It would be hysterical for Andy to have a running gag of showing up naked in a variety of settings. The guy is very funny and "big naked baby" kinda fits the character. I hope the show continues to improve. It has great potential - all the characters could really become comedy icons.
-
She will play Ron Swanson's ex-wife Tammy (he has two ex wives named Tammy and his mother's name is Tammy!). I cannot think of better casting as Ron has mentioned several times how awful she is. This could be great!
-
Dude fears clothing.
-
Fuck me, that's hysterical.
-
Just keeps getting worse. There's no real tension, the attempt at humor are fucking abysmal, and I have yet to identify a single character whose violent death would affect me in the slightest.
-
It only catches my attention 10 min before the endings!I dunno if it'll get a Season 2 if this keeps up!
-
Right up to the last commercial break and then watch the final part of each episode. Its the only part of the show that has any importance or entertainment value.
-
Actually makes me laugh out loud. Chevy Chase is dead weight, and when people tune in to see him I think they're stunned at just how bad he is these days. I can tell the writers don't know what to do with him.
-
For a while there, I really thought the "Survivor" medics might have to break out the defibrillator for Russell. Truly a "Survivor" first.
This season has been really fucking boring. Though it looks like the tribes merge next episode. -
I was a little concerned with the premiere of 30 Rock but last night's episode was a nice little turnaround.
-
would hit higher #'s so funny
-
numbers before you run out of room. You could just put a Season Average beside the Overnights number (not including repeats).On Survivor, anyone else think the music they were playing over the shots of Russell fishing sounded like music from The Shining? Those two girls, Liz & Natalie, just accepting that one of them was going home tells me they both deserve to go. Why not team up and try and vote someone else off? All they would need is one other person. Instead they just roll over with a "it's either you or me" attitude. At least make an effort to stay in the game.

That's amazing.
-
last night. I would give it a 10/10.
-
please don't cancel it. please.
-
I just died laughing when Michael said that on the phone. I am so calling my girlfriend that from this point on.
-
Oh, damn, he's got a scratch on his finger. It might fall off in the future. Better fly him out in an intense slow motion scene.
-
was pretty hot. Like to see that side of her more often.
-
The guys trying to be slick to Shambo was hilarious. Shambo's need to be reassured completely fucked everything up. "Fist pumping is not locking it up." I laughed my ass off so hard.
-
before this show cause he's either incredibly funny or the writers are just giving him the best stuff.

The move to 8pm was an instant missile to the ratings. I know it was for 30 Rock to come back at 9:30, but it looks like the best (new) comedy of the season is being murdered by the move. And Herc, it's worth pointing out that Community actually got more overall viewers than Parks, and that there was a slight dropoff in viewers from Community to Parks on Thursday (5.184 mil to 4.981 mil). Like I've said, if one Thursday night comedy ends up on the chopping block (since NBC usually puts one or two up for cancellation at the end of the season), my hope is that it won't be Community. But, if all the comedies can be saved, awesome. I'm just saying, if they can't all be saved, maybe it's time for NBC to put its money on a show that can grow an audience, like Community, and perhaps just let Pohler find a home back at SNL or on 30 Rock or The Office. Since she's apparently (and quite curiously) considered a can't lose asset.
-
Aw... that sucks.
-
I know the show has a simple (sometimes overly simple) premise, and that this season has been lacking, but it's the final season of a routinely enjoyable Friday night hour. This season is supposed to tie up the show's recurring arcs, including Monk's employment with SFPD, Stottlemeyer's love life, with the incredibly luscious Virginia Madsen playing his new love interest (who happens to be named Trudy), Sharona returning (on tonight's episode in fact), and, biggest of all, who killed Trudy Monk. The show is tying up ALL loose ends, something not many shows have the courtesy to do.
-
for the inevitable celebration of "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" beating Leno in the ratings. Looking at the trend, it's probably gonna happen....
-
He's become a fucking joke.
-
It's pretty pathetic that it can't even beat a repeat of The Mentalist, but when a Prime Time talk show on a major network gets beaten by a UFC reality show on cable, it's time to stick a fork in it. It's done.
-
I have yet to see someone who hates 30 Rock give a reason for hating it other "it sucks!". It is one of the best written shows on television.
-
Go for sketch comedy, some stand-up, a guest band that can play music, and no stodgy agenda-pushing celebs visiting.
-
More of Hector Elizondo, though not as figment of Monk's imagination.
Traylor Howard should go undercover as -- yeah, you guessed it -- a stripper. -
I thought that show ended years ago?
-
It shouldn't be lumped together with Office, Parks, and 30 Rock, because it's really quite different and unique, whereas Parks is nothing more than a formulaic hybrid of 30Rock and the Office, and has very little originality.
-
It's that same talking to the camera shit NBC has these days.
-
Nobody talks to the camera on Community or 30 Rock. Now are they all single-camera comedies? Yes. So was Scrubs, Earl, Arrested Development, and Parker Lewis Can't Lose (but they also had narrators).
-
They don't talk to the camera in Community. The only similarity between Community and those other shows is that there's no laugh track. Well, apart from the other commonalities amongst most sitcoms.
-
Really, you have a comment or two or three or four in every single talkback on this site. You even commented in the "In Treatment" talkback just to say 'never heard of it.' My god, get out more. Get a tan. Hold a door for a stranger. Say 'hi' to a girl for the first time. Maybe have consensual sex with her and have children. But for fuck sake don't let them grow up like you did.
-
Ignoring Locke's ignorant (as usual) comment, I'm happy to see that both Community and Parks & Rec have been picked up for a full season. While Parks & Rec isn't bringing huge numbers, it does seem to be getting better with each passing week. This season has been especially strong and there is definitely a lot of potential. I'm excited for more Community, too. That consistently makes me laugh each and every week.
-
I wouldn't mind reading your comments in every single talkback, but you're mostly posting ill informed bullshit, like with your Community and Monk posts above and your pointless 'never heard of it' in the "In Treatment" talkback. Your "contributions" are about as pointless as those of DickInAss.
-
It better be renewed. Also very glad to see how much Parks has improved this season.
-
Um, you have about 10 comments about Community in this talkback alone. We get it, you like it. Shut the fuck up.
-
Love that show--great to see NBC is behind it
-
I thought it was the best ep in a long time. Pam was hilarious.
-
Community was great last night
-
as lockes is useless.

That shot of Russell being drove into the forest was awesome.
by shermdawg
Great closing shot.
-
hell, it was even funnier than It's Always Sunny, and that's damn hard to do!

Can we lock Media Messiah and lockes in their own private TB?
by chromedome
They are both lonely, needy, attention-whores. One with delusions of grandeur, one who comments on shows he hasn't seen, just to have "contact" with the outside world.Seal them off together, eventually Anti-Matter will collide with Doesn't-Matter, and they will both vanish in the tiniest, most insignificant *poof* imaginable....
-
the bestest talkbacker ever. Now go watch that episode of Venture Brothers no one ever talks about.
-
Even tho it's not a Heroes talkback. ;) NBC gave all 3 shows back-9 orders this afternoon: http://tinyurl.com/yzfsfqh
-
by the end of the year. Replaced ny Chuck reruns.
-
Modern Family is the best new comedy of the year.
-
I can't believe we're not talking about it
-
But why compare the two? They are both approaching comedy from different angles, and both are funny...I just prefer the comedy styles of Community...
-
and you people have no idea how much of a mark I am for Dan Harmon the creator of Community, but if I had to choose which characters I rather spend time w/ they are found on Parks. And on a different note, that was the best Survivor episode I've ever seen and I've seen them all.
-
The poor crazy bastard can't help it he really needs to have his meds adjusted/get on meds. I know he can be annoying but he can't help it. It seems having severe mental illness like he has can be a bitch.
-
Mad Men is?
-
Now lockie I understand what you are failing to accomplish in your post above, but really friend, I'm the only person that tries to help you out here by pointing out you are in fact insane.
-
yet you can't figure out what I'm trying to accomplish above? You're a fucking ass who has lame taste in TV and film.
-
It's like adults trying to have a grown up conversation, and a naive 12-year-old keeps interjecting and trying to participate. The bastard can't be bothered to google something before commenting in error about it. How many posts on this site have been devoted just to correcting something the poor bastard has said? But, I'll try not to pick on you Lockes, because it's become pretty evident that I'm actually talking to a horribly informed tween. Don't worry, I've been there before, and your adolescent enthusiasm--which drives you to comment in earnest about shows you've never even seen--is actually kind of amusing. Hell, watching you find your way over the next months and years, if you don't harm yourself first, might even be like watching a flower blossom. Goodspeed my toddling friend. Godspeed.
-
Last night only proved it yet again. Green man bitches.
-
Yeah, they didn't air, but why include them at all?
-
would probably be much better if it was done as a miniseries and was forced to tighten up the writing. Sound familiar? But that's not to say it would be as good as the other series ABC desperately wants it to emulate.
-
....he's kinda funny, but he seems like a douchebag, and that comes through and gets annoying real quick. Want proof of his douchebaggery: He's good friends with Kanye West.
-
But that Lockes guy does post something in every single talkback. It's kinda like playing "wheres Waldo". See how fast you can find Lockes post.
-
Who is married to Al Bundy..holy crap is she hot..what a great body on her. Google her and sit back and crank a few out lol.
-
Mostly it's one fan base attacking another fan base. And you fuckers post the EXACT SAME THING in every talkback.
-
I refuse to believe that someone can unabashedly enjoy "Transformers II: The Suckening" and have hate for "Mad Men", Pixar, "Citizen Kane", and that's just shit I remember. This is a lonely boy/man-child who spends all of his freetime (which is ample) posting "Zzzzzzzzzz" and "who is ______?" as if Google doesn't exist or he was literally born yesterday. Kudos to you, lockes, and back off to 4chan with you!
-
I am so glad I just baffle you. I find it odd someone could watch Mad Men and NOT fall asleep. Let me guess, you love True Blood, too.
-
Those two shows have nothing in common. Wait, they're both on cable. That is what those two shows have in common. That's like me saying "oh you liked 'Transformers II: Shia Bye-Bye-a'? You must like 'Big Momma's House 2'." Look, I know opinion and taste is subjective, but seriously. I'll find a poll website, and we'll list five things we each like, and people can vote for me or you. I just want to see what the results would be. I'll go ahead and put up Pixar, "Mad Men" and "Citizen Kane" as 3 of the 5, and you can have "Transformers II: Robots In Luv" and "Clone Wars". Let me know your other 3 picks.
-
Can you remember one likable scene in UP?
-
man, you must have a sore back, you bend every which way just to try to be contrary to get attention.I understand if Pixar isn't your thing, but saying Up "stunk"? come on man, even you have to feel a little silly stretching things that far just to get some negative attention in the talkbacks.
-
Please, stop all this ass kissing you guys do to Pixar. It's really becoming tiresome. I could give a rip about what other talkbackers say because they rip Avatar and Star Trek new assholes every week. Fuck em. They haven't even SEEN Avatar yet, and they're ripping it. At least I actually saw the movie, so shut the fuck up and go join your asshole buddies.
-
what the hell are you talking about? what does my comment about Up have to do with Avatar?
-
thus every other network should have been up during the 9-10 slot which it was!
