Complete Nielsen Ratings for week of April 28-May 4, 2008 – Plus a little Paula Abdul
Both “Psych” and “Monk” were taken off the NBC schedule, and no wonder with their rankings down in the 70s.
And “Lost” tying with “60 Minutes” ? What’s up with that?
American Idol still hogs the top two slots even though we all know it is going to come down to the Davids – Archuleta and Cook. I’m putting my money on David Cross, who deserves the win just for his unique style.
Speaking of unique style, Paula Abdul melted down last week, talking about Jason Castro’s second performance, when he had only performed once that night.
Paula Abdul’s gaffe during last week’s “American Idol” on Fox.
Oh, Paula.

she just made a mistake. not her fault. and it got everyone talking about Idol again so i bet the producers were secretly loving her mistake.

“The Unit” is averaging 11.44 million viewers. Tuesday’s episode posted the best ratings – 3.1/08 in adults 18-49 and 4.2/09 in adults 25-54 – since February.”
And yet the network put them in the worst time slot ever. It’s not even on the top 100 in the Nielson ratings. The network would rather spend less money on reality shows. I ABSOLUTELY abhore reality shows!
The only reason they started them was so they can buy an inexpensive show to air during prime time.
This season (other than “Chuck”, “Ghost Whisperer”, “NCIS”, and “Numbers”. I will be tuning out the major networks to watch “Discovery Channel”, “History Channel”, and “FX”.
The major networks can stuff it where the sun don’t shine!
