...that my 70 year old mom watches!
HAHA, Leno is Screwing Over all the NBC Dramas by mistergreen	May 18th, 2009 01:46:48 PM

And Dump Ghost Whisper, CBS by mistergreen	May 18th, 2009 01:49:27 PM
Unless Love-Hewitt starts to flash her boobs on the show.
Sister Network? by Jack Shepherd	May 18th, 2009 01:50:44 PM
Hey Herc, how is NBC a `sister network' to CBS? Please, allow me: It's not.
It seems like a good fit. by I am the most horrible	May 18th, 2009 01:54:14 PM
Plus they could cut it down to about 12 min if they dump all the filler scenes and just cut to the dream right before the waking gasp which is right before every commercial.
Jack Shepherd by erichaislar	May 18th, 2009 02:01:13 PM
CBS Paramount Television owns the show NBC just airs it. It's kind of like Scrubs with ABC.
Wow that would be interesting. by saintsaucey	May 18th, 2009 02:05:46 PM
I am tired of waiting till January for them to air it.
why is it still on the air anyway? by j2talk	May 18th, 2009 02:08:24 PM

Medium's a great show by jimmy_009	May 18th, 2009 02:38:13 PM
I don't care where it runs, just don't cancel it.
mistergreen by jimmy_009	May 18th, 2009 02:39:56 PM
Damn right he is. I wish he had just gone away instead of pushing his unfunny schlock to an earlier time. Unfortunately since his demographic is easy to please baby boomers, he has to move to an early slot because they go to bed earlier and earlier.
I prefer medium rare by MurderMostFowl	May 18th, 2009 02:54:53 PM
I really prefer episodes with a warm red center. Horseradish.
Medium is still on the air...?? by Prof. Pop-Cult	May 18th, 2009 03:00:09 PM
And so is Ghost Whisperer? Which one stars JL Hewitt? I honestly don't know the difference, without looking them up -- I suppose I'm not a member of the typical demographic for both shows.
I'll give Leno 1 season, 2 MAX by mistergreen	May 18th, 2009 03:23:41 PM
His new show sounds like ass.
jimmy_009: I think you meant to say by chrth	May 18th, 2009 03:25:19 PM
Unfortunately since his demographic are retiring baby boomers which is the only group still with ready cash in this recession, he has to move to an early slot because they go to bed earlier and earlier.
The cool kids... by BrannigansLaw	May 18th, 2009 04:25:27 PM
... are just too damn cool for me. I like Medium and happen to think that it's a solid show, which I guess makes me uncool. I'm cool wit dat.
Actors should boycott Leno by chromedome	May 18th, 2009 04:33:34 PM
He is killing 5 hours a week of scripted shows
On the other hand, other than Chuck and Office by chromedome	May 18th, 2009 04:36:11 PM
NBC hasn't got a damn thing worth watching, anyway. NBC probably begged Leno to kill 5 hours a week, since NBC wouldn't know a good scripted show if they had it (I cite Journeyman, and rest my case...)
Can i get a big "Who cares?" by nalapou	May 18th, 2009 04:44:45 PM
Fuck Patricia Arquette... still can't believe she stole those Emmy's from Jennifer Garner.
chromedome... by nalapou	May 18th, 2009 04:48:22 PM
Agreed. About Chuck, Office and mostly, Journeyman.
erichaislar by Jack Shepherd	May 18th, 2009 04:59:23 PM
The fact that CBS Paramount Television produces Medium doesn't make CBS and NBC sister networks. CBS and NBC would have to be owned by the same corporate entity to be sister networks.
Good lineup by Cotton McKnight	May 18th, 2009 05:14:09 PM
For whatever reason, that would work on Fridays. Medium though has become a really stupid show. I mean its flat out ridiculous now.
i really do enjoy looking at Jennifer Love Hewitt though. by Cotton McKnight	May 18th, 2009 05:16:33 PM
I don't know if this is the case now, but it used to be that she would become less and less dressed in every episode. By the end, she was wearing something that really showed off her boobies. Every dang episode was like that.
sorry but Leno at 10 is a GOOD Idea by j2talk	May 18th, 2009 05:38:49 PM
seriously has NBC aired ANYTHING worth watching at 10pm?? hell friday and saturday have been dead air for a while, just by stopping the reruns on saturday night they'd have room for 3hrs of scripted programing- not that would...
J2talk: Friday Night Lights, Kings, ER back in the day by mistergreen	May 18th, 2009 05:49:01 PM
solid shows.. 2 of which NBC gave up on. And the Law & order shows were alright.
Medium and Ghost Whisperer by oisin5199	May 18th, 2009 07:07:43 PM
I'm sorry, but anyone who says that these two shows are alike have obviously watched neither show. They both talk to dead people - although on Medium, it's mostly through dreams. That's the only similarity. Medium is really a family drama disguised as a procedural. Or maybe it's the other way around. Despite all the craziness, ultimately the show is about trying to make a living and support a family, and Allison's drive to do what's right and seek justice for the murdered. I still say that Joe and Allison are one of the most realistic couples on television, especially when it comes to the children. They don't always get along, and it's not perfect. Things often don't end neatly, and it's a much darker show. whereas Ghost Whisperer is more a chick fantasy show, where Melinda helps spirits 'cross over' - most of the time, there's no crime involved - it's ultimately a glorified romance novel with some occult elements thrown in, to make people feel better about a touchy-feely afterlife. Yeah, I watch the damn show, but it's escapist fantasy, and it has pretty much sucked in the last year. Probably won't stick with it.
I Hate Kid Actors As A Rule.... by mjgtexas	May 18th, 2009 07:38:57 PM
But the "peapod" opening last week was Oskgosh Begosh cute.
Leno = kiss of death by lockesbrokenleg	May 18th, 2009 08:02:20 PM
He and that fucker Howie Mandell.
Medium's sister network, idiots... by DrBravo2	May 18th, 2009 09:26:03 PM
not NBC's
mistergreen i asked if they had anythingWorth watching..... by j2talk	May 18th, 2009 09:43:26 PM
monday?Chuck..... tuesday? no wednesday? Life Thursday-once,long ago ER, but that time has passed, some people inexplicably find "The Office" entertaining Friday-Friday night lights Saturday- nada Sunday-part of the yr Football Seriously is it any wonder that they are bringing in Leno ???
Dump Ghost Whisperer. by SkidMarkedUndies	May 18th, 2009 09:52:13 PM
Keep The Unit. Done and done.
Medium is solid TV by lovek	May 18th, 2009 09:59:41 PM
Quit being such d-bags.
I love Medium. by Bob Loblaw Law Blog	May 19th, 2009 12:03:17 AM
Sure, it's not for everyone, but I really dig it. I hope it stays around for a while.
oisin5199 - How bad is it... by Himbo	May 19th, 2009 10:05:23 AM
That my wife and I acknowledge Medium is one of our "Happy shows? Medium & Chuck. I LOVE the show. oisin5199's discussion of it as a family drama procedural is spot on. Nice work.
Take the ? off that talkback, Herc; it's confirmed. by PennsyDeux	May 19th, 2009 10:45:12 AM
Medium to CBS: http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/20 09/05/breaking-nbc--1.html
The bastards cancelled The Unit by Geophyrd	May 19th, 2009 07:58:47 PM
You know, I can work me up a big ole case of hate for this. This season, American Idol pushed The Unit back by 8-10 minutes almost every single danged week which meant my DVR clipped it by that amount. The only way to watch it was on my IPOD and it was still the best show I couldn't watch on TV. Now its gone...dang nabbit
So EXTREMELY PISSED at CBS!!! by snthomas13	May 20th, 2009 10:16:22 AM
How can CBS pick up Medium from NBC and cancel "The Unit" one of the best shows on TV, I'm off CBS from here on, not that they'll care but in my opinion, the network SUCKS!!!
Hmmm, I kinda smell a crossover... by MrMysteryGuest	May 20th, 2009 04:39:21 PM

The Medium and the Ghost Whisperer will talk to the same ghosts! by MrMysteryGuest	May 20th, 2009 04:40:00 PM
