Figures in grey represent repeats.
* Somebody is going to have to give lanky teen songstress Taylor Swift her own show. Her appearance on SNL Saturday brought it its highest ratings of the season, and the Swift-centric CMA Awards gave ABC its “biggest non-sports Wednesday audience in four years,” according the Hollywood Reporter.
* “CSI NY” shot up a whopping 36% this week, no doubt because of the big three-way “CSI” crossover this week.
* At 10 p.m. “Leno” fell into fifth place in 18-49 behind ABC’s CMAs, CBS’s “CSI NY,” Comedy Central’s “South Park” and Bravo’s “Top Chef.” “Leno” was also the only Big Four show Wednesday garnering a lower rating than The CW’s “America’s Next Top Model.”
* At 9 p.m. “Glee” tied traditional Wednesday king “Criminal Minds” in 18-34 for the first time.
* “Gary Unmarried” hit a new season high.
* “So You Think You Can Dance” hit a season low.
* It's kinda ridiculous how little "Secret Girlfriend" retains of "South Park's" audience.

So wednesday nights will cease to suck.
-
So much potential, and the girl is cute (not the crazy psycho, who plays it a little too perfectly BTW, the blonde), but let's face it, the show kinda sux. Not surprised no one is watching. I predict cancellation. But then, I think Jeff Dunham is funny about 50% of the time, so what do I know.
-
also has Friday Night Lights on DirecTV 101, but it doesn't show up in the ratings for some reason.
-
Lost is returning to Wednesdays. ABC hasn't decided where to put it yet.
-
certainly she doesn't think her appearances would be breaking records with out his MTV interruption.
-
Since Tyler Perry's House of Payne and Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns are now pretty much matching Leno.
-
Top Chef and South Park right now, so they're okay. I mean South Park for me and Top Chef for the wife, of course. Yeah. I mean she makes me watch it. Ummmm...I watch Top Chef. I...like Top Chef. How the hell does something like that happen?
-
Was Diaries a repeat? If not, I smell the distinct odor of cancellation coming off it
-
just saying...
-
I've only watched the pilot for Glee but it makes me laugh that a musical is kicking rating ass. Good Job.
-
But you don't sell over 2 million copies of your most recent release riding on the coattails of West's jackassery at the VMA's. That tall thin gal has got her legion of fans thats for sure.
-
They did a great job casting the Girlfriend of the title... She's got a lot of charisma. The rest of the show is like a bad Man Show sketch, and the whole first person narrative gives the show no room to evolve. An interesting experiment I suppose, but that's it.
-
...is a disaster, but it does have the best pick up line ever: "Who wants a future child support check?"
-
than before the Kanye incident. That's a fact. Everybody knows who she is now. She should be kissing his ass.
-
And then I forced myself to watch Parks afterwards, and it was god awful and had to stop at the 8:52 mark. A ten minute bit where they each present paintings??? It was soooo dull and unfunny.
-
Glee is totally my guilty pleasure. Love it. Bought the soundtrack. May buy the DVDs. Sorry. Cannot help it. Is it Wednesday yet?
-
*LMMFAO* :D
-
Just want to point that out...
-
And it was about some fag whining about not being allowed to sing a song. If I was that guy's father, I'd slap him upside the head for that lisp/limp-wristed behavior. It has to be the most PC show in the history of television. The gay guy, the guy in the wheelchair, there was a down syndrome girl who wanted to be a cheerleader. There was a cute dark haired girl who seemed like she had some talent, though.
-
I would really like to know what you all think? I know he's got the two year contract. I know NBC may not have anything to replace it with, but these ratings can't be ignored. Even re-tooling the show hasn't helped. So, what's going to happen? Speculate.

Why is Leno's shitty show losing to SOUTH PARK? I'm just asking
by spyguy
Somewhere, Ike Broflovski is going "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
-
Michael Massee in the NY ep was very good.
-
Is this really your goal in life? What will you do when/if Leno is no longer on TV? I hear Stern still hates Kathy Lee Gifford. Maybe you can start a column inexplicably railing against The Today Show's 4th hour until it's driven off the air?
-
Keep the absurdity alive!
-
I'm unsure a cable rating means the same as a broadcast rating. I'm skeptical that SP is actually beating Leno in viewers.
-
Wow. Look out Dennis Leary, you sure are edgy!
-
It was a lovely episode for invested viewers, but not a good example of the type of comedy the show usually is. Glad the show's still doing well in the ratings, they really deserve it.
-
is done I would guess. I think they said the last episode was the season finale so that'll probably be it. The cast is actually pretty funny overall but the whole premise/camera style is just weird and uncomfortable. There's a reason characters on TV shows don't normally talk directly into the "screen" unless they're doing a fake documentary, interview thing. It makes everything feel off. Though to be fair, there was always at least one exchange between the two guys per show that was golden.
-
I saw her at a concert once when she was here in SF taping her ill-fated Oprah/Donahue-esque talk show. She is fine as fuck on this side of the 4th wall as well.
-
Little Jimmy Dickens , and 88 yr old novelty act from the 1940's and 50's, came on stage to interrupt Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley and repeated verbatum Kanye's rant. This time saying Swift's video was the best. Later on, she thanked people at the CMA's for not running up on stage to interrupt her speech.-----later-----m
-
I saw the pilot and it was pretty good, then I saw some episode where the teacher guy starts his own middle-aged boy band, it was absolute bullshit. did it go back to being good?
-
was so brilliant I couldn't believe it. Just total South Park skewering of American violence and insanity. The kids reactions were so amazing. The shock and horror on some and expressionless tuned out looks from the kids who weren't even paying attention. Brilliant. And then they went on to the whole Glen Beck satire which I didn't get at all since I never watch Fox. But just the first five minutes of that show was incredible!
-
And can we get him there quickly?

I love who this week's South Park, poked fun at Glenn Beck!

Old Christine? Your shit has gotten too repetitive and your audience has left you. Looks like New Christine was the magical center of your show despite nobody noticing till she was gone. The Rape Show bringing more heat in the ratings, go SVU!Jay Leno barely keeping his chin above water while tying garbage like Ghost Hunters, House of Payne, The Ultimate Fighter is funny. Maybe that's the comedy gold Leno was trying to deliver all along.Secret Girlfriend is cheap and tacky and rarely funny. Plus, can't watch it in mixed company since it's all boner-intended material. Then again, Comedy Central hasn't developed quality shows for a long time now.How is Taylor Swift's music "country"? It sounds like pure pop but aimed at white "heartland" kids, is that all it takes to be Country music now?
