It was quite a night for television watchers, as we really have a choice in what to watch. Fans have spoken clearly and some shows were affected a lot by American Idol. I'm not a fan of American Idol, so seeing a 10% drop in viewers didn't bother me.
At 8:00pm American Idol 30.08 Million and NCIS had 18. 48 Million, so you know a lot of television sets were on last night. CBS was on in this house, as it always is when a new episode airs of NCIS. Its the one show that has very loyal fans. The Biggest Loser and 90210 took big losses.
At 9:00pm The Mentalist lost a few viewers, but not like Scrubs and Privileged, who took big hits. I think its now clear that Scrubs could be on its last season and its really time to go, as several cast members want to move on now.
At 10:00pm Without A Trace has more viewers, but Law and Order wins the younger viewers that the advertizers want, as they think they spend more money. We all know older people like me spend a lot of money, so I'm a CBS Watcher and proud to admit this information.

You missed Home land security show which is no ABC Tuesday nights at 8pm. We love the show. It shows who and what is trying to get in the USA. Boy do they have a lot of work to keep us Americans safe. Last night a man was carrying around a human skull he said he found it in a dumpster. A woman went to Mexico to pick up a little girl and bring over the boarder, and other things like that. the show has been on two weeks and my hubby and I are hooked

awww I love 90210 I hope it doesn't get cancelled. There is a lot of shows that seems to be getting cancelled, like pushing dasies. Just when I get into a show or really enjoy it it gets cancelled.

I was a huge fan of Pushing Daisies, so was quite unhappy to see it disappear. Sadly, each year a few shows that are different don't get enough viewers. Thanks for the reply.

I am not a reality show fan at all. So I could have cared less about AI. But, I did watch NCIS and The Mentalist (well I turned the channel when the witchcraft stuff was going on), but I really like these shows and hope they do not go off the air. That would be really sad.
Anyway, I find myself online more these days writing and looking for more ways to earn MONEY... If you know of anymore places I can write, let me know, please.

I'm glad to see CBS do well on Tuesday. I have watched many episodes of NCIS and really enjoy them. I'm planing to watch The Mentalist this summer, so can watch from the beginning, as watched one episode and felt like I missed something. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply. I think many people want to hear the best perform. I'm not an American Idol watcher.
