First thing. NBC is your winner this week! They beat out CBS by 1 point! ABC dropped to third this week, but FOX was right behind them. What may shock you even more is that NBC only won a half of one night this week. However, they were never worse than third on any night and were usually second. That propelled them over CBS, who slipped to fourth a few times during the week. ABC was really hurt by showing reruns on key nights like Sunday. They kept close by holiday specials, though! Very strange.

Congrats to Grey’s Anatomy as it is #1 again this week. It didn’t hurt that CBS showed reruns on Thursday night. They easily won, but CBS shows that they are strong on almost every night of the week. FOX is sure glad to have House and NFL Football on its schedule as they were the only reason that FOX was close this week. Things look to get a slow from now until January as you’ll get mostly reruns and holiday specials! Stay tuned…

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!
