* At 8.00 CBS welcomes Jennifer Love Hewitt for a new Ghost Whisperer
* At 9.00, I don’t know, what’s Moonlight like ?
* And at 10.00 the team of cops & mathematicians are back on Numb3rs - still on CBS.

It was Slapsgiving Thanksgiving night, and so not surprisingly less people were watching TV. Which brings up the question, in those times of strike why did ABC and CBS burn new episodes tonight, especially of series that usually do very well ? Let’s be optimistic and see that as a sign that they believe the strike will all be over soon.
Both CSI and Grey’s Anatomy didn’t performed as good as they’re used to, far from it. (Although the DVR results will probably give both of them, and especially Grey, a big boost.) Once again CSI had more viewers but Grey’s Anatomy took over the 18-49 demo. CSI lost 6.7 million viewers compared to last week, while Grey’s Anatomy lost “only” 5.4 million of them.

* One again, tonight only the two big networks, ABC and CBS, have kept their series on the air. Others are going for movies…
* There’s not much left, besides a new Grey’s Anatomy on ABC on 9.00
* CBS has its usual night, with a new CSI at 9.00 followed by a new Without A Trace
* I’m also going to mention that October Road’s second season is actually premiering tonight at 10.00 on ABC, and it’s been done so that it should last its full season of 13 episodes !

There was pretty much only two networks with new content on Wednesday, ABC and CBS. Others aired either reruns or reality TV. Yet ABC had a tough night, and was not only beaten by CBS, winner of the night in both viewers and on the 18-49 demo, but also by Fox.
Less viewers than usual in front of their TV, and the first shows to suffer was Pushing Daisies watched by 1.3 million viewers less than last week. Not to worry though, it still came in first in its timeslot, both in viewers and amongst the 18-49 adults. Fox only had reruns at both 8.00 and 8.30, allowing NBC and their crap to move up and take the third place, behind CBS, whose Kid Nation did almost as well as last week.

Now is the time to save ALL our shows. MAIL PENCILS pencils to the AMPTP and to any studios whose shows you enjoy…
Maybe we can help the studios see just how much support the WGA has. And maybe, just maybe, we can give them a graceful way out - not because they’re buckling under the writers’ demands, but because they care so much about their audience. Us. And isn’t that supposed to be their job?
– Nikki Finke
Here’s a little video that explains how you can use pencils to make a difference :

Here’s a little interview with Hayden Panettiere and Kristen Bell, talking of course about Heroes. The most fun of this whole video are the first seconds of it though, before the interview actually begins. We get to see the two beauties having a little fun before falling into interview mode, and that’s always nice.

(S01E07) It’s Thanksgiving week and as a result many shows just vanished, because in those times of strike networks are not willing to burn new episodes too fast, especially when chances are there will be less viewers than usual. And despite having no more than three episodes left, ABC still decided to offer us a fresh new pie this week, and I am really thankful for that.
While it is not my personal favorite new series of the season (Life beat it to it), Pushing Daisies is without a doubt a very nice new series and the sweetest one of all. I may not like everything about it, but I sure love most of it - and overall I really do enjoy it every time.

* Can you feel the strike already ?
* Okay so tonight there’s not much, because basically The CW, NBC and Fox have nothing good to offer. That’s right, no Gossip Girl, no Bionic Woman (although I don’t think anyone will complain about that one) and no Life today !!
* So it’s all going to be between the two big ones, ABC and CBS. And lucky us, it falls down perfectly :
* It starts at 8.00 on ABC with a new Pushing Daisies
* At 9.00 switch to CBS for a new Criminal Minds
* And finally at 10.00 you’re back to ABC for a new Dirty Sexy Money

(S04E08) It’s pretty much always the same with this show, for me. I’m always very excited when I know a new episode is coming, I can’t wait to get to see it because I know that whatever is going to happen during that hour will be yet another great moment of brilliant television. I may not know what will happen, what the case will be or anything, but I know - and, to be honest, I expect - that this will be a blissful moment.
I do feel that this is the greatest show on TV, and as such I do expect a lot from it every week. This for sure does put a lot of pressure on House and his team, because I’m pretty sure I would never be satisfied with a “more-than-okay” episode. Hell no, from House I expect a lot better than that, but the treat is that every time when I’m done watching, I feel like I got even more than I was hoping for.

As usually on Tuesdays, while ABC may have been the most watched network, Fox ruled among the 18-49 demo thanks to the famous Dr House.
Once again at 8.00 NCIS dominated with 17.4 million viewers, and ABC realized how bad its “comedies” suck, given that the Charlie Brown repeats did much (much) better, scoring more than twice what Cavemen and Carpoolers usually do, in both viewers and on the 18-49 demo. And somewhere in the middle, Bones lost about 400 000 viewers compared to last week.
At 9.00 Dancing With The Stars was followed by over 20 million people, but House wasn’t that far away with almost 17 million viewers and a 6.8 on the 18-49, being still the clear winner of the night on that demo.
