TARAsia Fan:
You had Sunday Night Football plus the Desperate Housewives premiere. Very respectable numbers opposite NBC and ABC last night. CBS will definitely take those.
mswood:
Yeah, I do worry about next week.
Not about Tar, but about how the whole lineup might effect TAR.
Three Rivers is one of the shows that analysts thought would be one of the first cancellations of the season (well thinks to the CW it wont be the first).
But with nothing seems to generate any real traction with the adult 18-49 (besides TAR) and that does help drag our numbers down.
The good thing, though is that we will look very good compared to the rest of the Sunday lineup.
TARAsia Fan:
Cold Case still does well, so that's still a good 9 p.m. anchor. But I don't know why CBS canceled Without a Trace.
mswood:
Cold Case is dead. It's this year's sacrificial lamb at 10pm.
THree Rivers is airing at 9pm.
