No net change in "American Dreams" ratings
I really hate Nielsen ratings families. I sometimes think that they don't appreciate how much power they have.

(03/10/05) For the night, FOX averaged a 9.2 rating/14 share, beating ABC's 7.2/11 fairly handily. CBS and NBC tied for third at 6.5/10. UPN took fifth at 2.5/4, and The WB trailed at 1.5/2.
FOX also led among adults 18-49, posting a 6.8 rating in the demographic advertisers covet. ABC, 4.0, finished second, while CBS's 3.0 nipped NBC's 2.9 for third. UPN averaged 1.6 and The WB 0.9.

A rerun of "Lost" won the 8 p.m. hour for ABC with a 7.9/12. FOX got a 6.3/10 from two episodes of "That '70s Show," finishing just ahead of Dan Rather's CBS send-off, "A Reporter Remembers." The first Wednesday airing of "American Dreams" posted a 4.6/7 for NBC, on par with the show's season average. "America's Next Top Model" earned a 3.4/5 for UPN. The WB went with a repeat of "Smallville

1. I'm afraid it's doomed unless
someone high up at the network likes it and out of the 'goodness of their heart' decides to save it. It's probably not likely but sometimes they will save a show that has critical acclaim even if it has low ratings, I'm pinning my hopes on that (that's all I got).

3. I liked it much better to be on Sundays
The first week of the switchover, I completely forgot to watch it -- I was really bummed. It's one of the best shows on TV and I'd hate to lose it. I really want to see the characters keep developing. I grew up during that time -- I was 14 when Kennedy was killed, in the 9th grade. The writing is great, the issues they deal with ring true even for today's times. I looked forward to watching it on Sundays. Now that it's back to back with West Wing, it really kills my Wednesdays -- keeps me from watching Countdown.

4. I liked Sundays better too
Wednesdays it is on at the same time as Lost and the past two weeks the same as Survivor. I taped American Dreams but haven't gotten around to watching it yets.

5. I was afraid I'd forget the day switch so
I set my VCR to tape it. I love the show so I hope NBC doesn't cancel it.

I just found out that Third Watch isn't being renewed. I don't think this season has been as good as previous seasons but I still like the show. I've been watching more HGTV than I ever have.
