#4: In-Laws 6.4/9
#5: Gilmore Girls 4.9/7
#6: Buffy 2.4/4

Those are not overnights. Those are Fast Nationals. 8SR was NOT #3 for the 8 p.m. half hour, it was #2, JAG was #2 for the 8pm HOUR, 7.1/11 was 8SR and Jim combined, not 8SR. Also, NBC aired Dateline, zap2it needs to get its facts straight. I'll post the overnights, fast nationals, and viewers 18-49 for last night when I get a chance.

OMG, no one cares about the ratings! Let's just enjoy this show and stop worrying about how well it does against some silly talent show.

we care about the ratings. you know if the show gets crappy ratings it could get cancelled right? (not that its gonna happen anytime soon though)

But, see that's the problem. Everyone is taking this show too seriously. It's going to get cancelled anyway. Every show comes to an end sometime. This show will probably not beat AI and it probably won't ever be number one for the week or ever be nominated or win an Emmy. And that's fine. It doesn't mean that this show isn't entertaining. Just enjoy the view.

Tonight will be VERY interesting. This will tell if 8SR can beat out an NBC that DOES get good ratings. What are my predictions? From highest to lowest in the 8-830 slot:

#1: American Idol
#2: JAG
#3: 8 Simple Rules...
#4: Fear Factor
#5: Gilmore Girls
#6: Buffy The Vampire Slayer

AI and JAG are guaranteed the top 2, but 8 Simple Rules and Fear Factor will fight it out to see who wins. I think that CBS will come out at #1 overall for the night, with Fox #2, ABC #3, NBC #4.

8 Simple Rules is actually doing extremely well even though its like around thenumber #30 position..

ABC isnt doing great with its shows right now.. I mean a show in the 40-50 rankings is good for them..

But 8 Simple Rules is the top ABC show, besides the Bachelorette... it's beating According to Jim and My Wife and Kids!

But is NBC making 8:00 hour the new permanent Fear Factor timeslot?

PinkCutieK · 02-04-2003, 06:39 PM

hey guys....ratings do count and everything but why worry about it now? the show just started and it's doing really well, considering alot of people watch it AND it won the people's choice award. i know alot of people who watch 8SR b4 AI. And usually, 8SR is within the top 5 for ratings so i don't think we have anything to worry about right now...but let's just hope for the best! i think 8SR can probably go for another 2 or 3 seasons...but it's not really built around a plot that can be expanded alot..they need something different and really exciting to happen, like the upcoming Drummer Boy Part II, where Bridget drives to Ohio. i think that episode could put up a fair fight for the ratings against AI!!! so let's not worry too much! it's not gonna get cancelled for at least a couple of years!

No it's just a special tonight. NBC has other specials scheduled for the rest of this month on Tuesday: Three Stooges, Bloopers, and a Game Show special.
