That's not the reason. 37 is not bad at all. The reason is the drop-off from Will & Grace to Coupling was very high. Worse than Good Morning Miami. If a show is on NBC Thursday, it is expected not to drop off much. Scrubs has a drop-off from Friends, but it is only 15% or so. Coupling was around 30% or even higher. Let's see how it does next week, if it airs that is (All depends on baseball).

I think I heard Coupling will not be aired again until Nov 6th, 2003

It is scheduled for next week, October 23. But I don't think they will air it, unless the World Series is a blowout or not high ratings like the ALCS/NLCS had.

I can't believe "Good Morning Miami" held more viewers than "Coupling."

Lord knows I have my problem with this show, but it is way better than "GMM."

Maybe next time Phoef Sutton can develop a British show about a young boy-wonder producer -- one with a full head of hair, of course -- who inherits a low-rated network and turns it around, and it'll last more than four episodes...

Where did you hear that?

It's canceled. It won't be back, I knew it would be canceled. They shut down production yesterday, so it will NOT return in December. NBC has not decided yet what to air in that slot in December.

Wow, i thought the would give the show a new night.

Good Morning Miami has worked out a lot of the kinks in their show. It's really improved this season.
Can't they put GMM back in the Thursday timeslot or did it do that bad there?
