What's Up with All the Low TV Ratings?
It's been a tough spring for television, with shows hitting their season-low ratings left and right. The latest casualty is "Heroes," which plunged to third place in its time slot this week with its worst ratings ever. "24" wasn't far off its own season low.
NBC's Thursday Ratings Hit All-Time Low
I've always thought of NBC's Thursday night lineup as the most dominant group of shows on TV, from the Must See TV days with "Seinfeld" and "Friends" to the current Comedy Night Done Right block with "The Office" and "Scrubs."

I'm baffled, considering that last week was the first time all four comedies plus "ER" were all new since Feb.
JT Helps Slimey Awards Clean Up in the Ratings

According to the Nielsen numbers, the program averaged more than 6.1 million viewers, a 3 percent increase over last year.
"American Idol": No Match for Daylight
I mentioned earlier today that about 30 million people watched the "American Idol" performances this week. That's a lot of people, but it's significantly smaller than the number that watched the top 12 singers perform last year.
To what do we owe the 15 percent drop?

Sunday night's episode was the series' worst premiere ever. It got whupped in the ratings by "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers & Sisters" on ABC and "Without a Trace" on CBS.

Dear Ms. Rosenberg,

Do You Still Follow TV Shows When They Switch Networks?
It's official: Southland is saved! TNT issued a press release this morning announcing that the cable network is resuscitating the cancelled NBC cop drama starting in January.
While this is obviously good news for Benjamin McKenzie fans, I'm still approaching it with moderate skepticism.
Fall TV Scorecard: What's In, What's Out, and What's in Danger
It's a tough life for a freshman TV series, and every Fall some new shows have to get cut — but on the bright side, others are given a vote of confidence and picked up for a full season.

What's In
At NBC, Parks and Recreation, Community, and Mercy have all been picked up for full seasons, as have CBS shows The Good Wife and NCIS: Los Angeles and ABC's The Middle, Cougar Town, FlashForward, and Modern Family.
Cirque du Freak: An Unnecessary Addition to Vampire Entertainment
