Oy, that is depressing, ratings hit an all-time low. Really bad. In sweeps of all times. Damn. No cause to panic yet but it honestly caught me by surprise. :(
According to the half hour breakdowns of SV and SPN about 2 Million people tuned out at 9 p.m. (or rather about 30 Nielsen viewers did) which I`m guessing had something to do with fucking CSI and fucking Grey`s both gaining about 2 Mio viewers each. Both had HUGELY hyped eps. Gah. I hate them both with the passion of a thousand suns.
I don't like either of those shows either. Grey's Anatomy started out by messing with the first season of Boston Legal and stealing its timeslot. Why didn't they just leave it there? :-(
I tried watching one of the CSIs and I've watched a few random episodes to catch a favorite actor guest-starring, but I actually find it both icky-gross and boring. GA is just completely annoying. I adore JDM, and I didn't even like his character on that show.
I actually liked CSI in the first 2 or 3 Seasons but then it had a million spin-offs and it got so repetitive. I mean how many times can you spin basically the same case?
And Grey`s is a hospital soap like any other hospital soaps where a bunch of whiny ass losers angsts about their relationships. Spare me. House would kick each and every one of their annoying little asses.
I never liked CSI because I don't like the procedural shows and it's just too icky for me. I watched CSI: Miami when it first started because I liked Kim Delaney, but I couldn't watch it even for her.
And I agree about Grey's. I can't figure out what's so appealing about that show. I'm not questioning the judgment of people who like it, but I really don't see the appeal. The characters aren't just whiny, they're unlikable, selfish, manipulative people, for the most part--and I would *not* want any doctor of mine to behave the way that they do. So yeah... I guess "whiny ass losers" about covers it. hehe
I haven't watched House, but I think I'd probably like it better than Grey's.

I love "House" because in every other hospital show he would be the guy you hate but here he is the hero. He is brilliant but he has not tact whatsoever and a mean sense of humor. He has no tolerance for stupid people and lets them know it. :)
When his new mean boss wants to pressure him into firing one of his team (a female doctor - Cameron, an African-American one - Foreman and an Aussie Pretty Boy- Chase). House`s solution?: "I`ll grope Cameron and I`ll call Foreman a "racial slur" and Chase...hm..heck I`ll grope Chase too." So they could all sue and not be fired. I loved it.
I wouldn`t want him as my doctor necessarily but he always solves the case.
