HORRIBLE.

FOX's "American Idol" posted a 13.4/21 at 9 p.m., but its companion, "Life on a Stick," managed only a 5.1/8 at 9:30, giving FOX a 9.3/14 average for the hour. "Revelations" took a sizable dip from its premiere last week but still finished second at 7.6/12. "The King of Queens" and "Yes, Dear" averaged 5.8/9 for CBS, beating the 5.6/9 for "Alias" on ABC. "Kevin Hill" kept UPN in fifth, and The WB trailed with "Jack & Bobby."

That means it held on to(does math on calculator) only 38 PERCENT of the Idol audience

38 PERCENT!!! There is no way FOX will show Life on a Stick during Sweeps with numbers like that. Look for either extended Idols or encores of another FOX comedy(Stacked got about the SAME numbers before Idol!

Next Wednesday, FOX will air Life on a Stick at 8:30pm BEFORE Idol and Stacked at 9:30 after Idol. The next one is to put it out of it's misery.

The name alone is enough to keep me away...

Life on a STICK? My mom started laughing when I told her that was a stupid name for a show. Who lives on a stick?

At least "Stacked" actually makes sense. Note: Look at the main star.

Come on now people, let's give the show a chance at least. Everyone keeps saying to give '8 Simple Rules 'a chance, but there is a big difference with the two shows, one of them, the star of the show, is no longer with us(RIP J.R.

), 'Life On A Stick' does have some similarities to '8 Simple Rules' with the exception that they show the kids more than the parents.But with 'Life On A Stick', people need to tune in more to comic sitcoms rather than these moronic reality shows. Remember, 'laughter is the best medicine'

.I did at one point, did stop tuning in to see 'Revelations', but to be honest, I simply cannot get into it. Plus if anyone wants the truth about religion, read your bible. NBC is only confusing the issue even more to what the REAL TRUTH IS..

why would anyone expect Life On A Stick to keep a percentage of the AI viewers? I know that I certainly wouldn't watch American Idol just because it came on after Life On A Stick (or if you threatened me with torture for that matter) - obviously it wasn't a good timeslot for the show that was ultimately FOX's 4th highest rated sitcom last season...

This show wasn't a cookie-cutter sitcom; it had a different style and feel to it that was a little too off-the-wall for most viewers, but it made me laugh and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I liked the episode where they had Rubin guest star where they had a fish restaurant across from the hot dog restaurant.where Mr.Hubb wants them to sing his song about hot dogs.
Mr. Hut: Weiners weiners weiners, some thick and some are thin. Weiners weiners weiners, hot juices on your chin.
Laz: If we sing that, the police will come
Fred:That wasn't about hot dogs at all
