The Overnight Results from Last Night

I said either CBS or FOX would win, and FOX won overall. Don't have to tell tell you why but I will anyway. "Bones" helps but its the results show of American Karaoke is what puts FOX over the top. I only watch a few seconds of it but "Unan1mous" was around the same overnight numbers as ABC's "Lost" and also proved that this Real Game of Survivor along with its Sci-Fi/Fantasy elements is going to be around for awhile and a ratings getter unlike its sister show Alias.

CBS's Freshmen sitcoms are unable to get the numbers without "Two and Half Men" watching their back. "Out of Practice" and "Courting Alex" even got beat by ABC's George Lopez and Freddie. I wonder if CBS has second thoughts on renewing "How I Met Your Mother?" One has to ask what CBS sees in Mother. "Courting Alex" proved to be the better show of the two that moved. Could we have one more going around with "Still Standing" and/or "Yes Dear?" I say not likely but I would not count it out now if the numbers for Practice and Alex remain flat or trend down. "Still Standing" needs a 100+ episode package to make that show really sell in the syndication strip fold, and "Yes, Dear" has cleared that mark. Their is still some milk in the "Deal or No Deal" cow but NBC must make sure that the cow does not windup dry. One more Midweek airing next week and in two weeks a "Tim McGraw" special.

The midseason newcommers "The Evidence" and "Heist" neither came out strong, and NBC's old war horse "Law & Order" really took a hit when put alongside "American Karaoke," Lost, and even CBS's Freshmen Crime Drama "Criminal Minds." Well NBC you might want to put L&O back where it belongs and fast. (9/10). L&O still gives CSI: NY a run for the numbers.
