ABC DOMINATES this week and pretty much beat CBS to a bloody pulp. It wins this week easily. You might find it odd, but ABC got an extra boost on Monday night with the airing of the Country Music Association Awards. That started the downward spiral of CBS this week. They tied for NBC for second place that night. The next night it was ALL ABC again and this time CBS had to share 2nd with FOX. CBS did pick up steam from there. That was until Sunday night when football on NBC was able to beat out CBS. In fact, even FOX’s animated show were good enough for the “youngsters” to beat CBS as it finished in dreadful 4th place!

So not only did CBS suck this week, but so did Grey’s Anatomy. For 7 weeks it was #1. This week is finished THIRD! The new #1 show is Dancing with the Stars, which barely beat out Desperate Housewives. If you look, though, you will find the “top 3” shows on ABC so it shouldn’t surprise you that they dominated this week. I’m still a little shocked that CBS dropped so low have still have as many shows in the “top ten” as they usually have, but that’s how the numbers fell. ABC has one more week of DWTS and then they may be in trouble. We shall see, but for now they are back on top by themselves!

Sir Linksalot: Television News

I'm not embarrassed to say that my favorite television show of all-time is The O.C. I live by the motto "you can't fight fate!" More importantly, I watch WAY too much television, but I do so for the benefit of everyone reading this now. So to my mom and my wife, I say thanks for reading! To everyone else that might stumble across this, remember TiVo should be your best friend!
