[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 3812067, member: 2525"] Just to be clear, in case anyone pops in this thread and sees "Ratings", these numbers are [b]not[/b] nielsen ratings. These are opinions of critics, which can bare no relationship to actual show ratings. For example, Chuck is rated high by the critics here, while Bionic Woman and Big Bang Theory are medium ratings by the critics. However, as far as actual ratings, Bionic Woman has higher ratings than the other two. Bionic Woman in fact has the [URL=http://www.tvweek.com/blogs/james-hibberd/2007/09/bionic_woman_highestrated_new.php]highest actual ratings[/URL] of any new pilot this season, though it had a BIG drop off for the second episode. Meanwhile, Chuck and Big Bang are about tied for ratings, and slowly dropping. In fact, my guess is that Chuck has a 50-50 chance of being canceled at this point, despite it being a decent show with critical appreciation. My bets: Will stay: Bionic Woman Private Practice Pushing Daisies Reaper (CW, where even bad ratings are good ratings) Cusp: Journeyman Big Bang Theory* Chuck Life Moonlight Dirty Sexy Money Gone: Carpoolers Cavemen Big Shots Gossip Girl K-Ville *[Edit: Just read that Big Bang got one of the highest post-airing bumps from DVR views ever, which is not saying a lot given this is the first season the ratings are accounting for DVR viewings within the first 24-72 hours, but it's something).
