Ratings: CSI vs ... Part 2

I've heard mixed reviews about Jorja's leaving. Some have said , "Thank God" because they were tired of GSR and others have said they won't watch, but decided in the end to watch the show anyways.

I also watched an interview today with a media reporter and she stated that people have plain stopped watching tv over the strike.

I don't think Jorja's leaving left that big of an impact.

I suspect that may be part of it, simply because most people don't know when new episodes are going to air (instead of repeats), so they give up altogether.

However, I would take with a grain of salt anything reported in the media about the writers' strike. The reason for that is because there is very little in the way of independent journalism anymore, as the media are owned by the very same corporations that own the studios. Conflict of interest? I would say so.

I've also read from WGA sources that talks between the WGA and the studios broke down on Friday, and the studios have hired, and are paying big money to, political and PR gurus to create a smear campaign against the WGA. So it sounds like things are going to get a lot uglier.

According to the fast nationals at zap2it

At 10 p.m., CBS' "Without a Trace" dominated the hour with a 9.8/17. ABC's "Eli Stone" was a distant second at 3.6/6, and two more episodes of "The Office" earned a 2.9/5 for NBC.

Keep in mind these are prelims and numbers are subject to change.

And there was not even a mention of the romance in this one. I wonder what this is telling the showrunner? :p

Maybe people will start to turn back now that the abomination is buried?
 
CSI: Earth's Number One Show

Source: New York Post

CSI is officially the most popular TV show on the planet.

According to a new study, nearly 84 million viewers around the globe watched the CBS crime drama in 2007.

It beat out its sequel, CSI: Miami and House, according to the ratings firm Eurodata, which ranks shows by their worldwide ratings.

With 61.5 million viewers, Desperate Housewives snagged the title of top comedy, while The Bold and the Beautiful was dubbed the most-watched soap in the world (26.2 million viewers).

The biggest show in the US, American Idol, did not place because different versions of it are seen in different countries.

CSI debuted in 2000 and has been renewed for a ninth season. It follows a group of Las Vegas crime scene investigators who use science and high-tech gizmos to solve grisly murders.

It has spawned two popular spinoffs so far, CSI: Miami and CSI: NY.
 
that is very cool, most watched show on the planet :D

It's credit to the actors, producers and writers of the show that after 8 years it's still going so strongly.

It's quite amazing really the longevity of CSI. And the funny thing is, people do seem to keep writing it off, yet it keeps on coming back strong.

I think the part that edges it though is the cast, imho there isn't a stronger trio of leading characters and actors than Billy, Marg and Paul Guilfoyle. Added to that George Eads, Robert David Hall, Gary Doudan and Wally Langham, Eric Szmanda (and of course Jorja Fox), that's a really strong cast.

My hope is that they don't spoil anything with bringing in this 'pretty face', cos what I love about CSI is that it's a really human cast if that makes sense. OK, so yer not gonna shove Billy, Marg, Eric or George out of bed on a cold night. But unlike the other CSI's (and most other shows), the whole cast is actually real looking, rather than just 1 or 2, if that makes sense!
