It’s more than Simon Baker’s looks…it’s also his charm! He reminds me of Carey Grant. He smiles and I melt!

Wow, no top 20 hit for NBC? I don’t count football. No wonder they have to be desperate and give away 10pm to Leno, which is a lost cause anyway.

You gotta give CBS credit. They truly are the only network that is virtually solid… their only true problem area is Wednesdays from 8-9 (and even that comedy block has more viewers than 90% of FOX and NBC’s programs) and Fridays from 9-10.
Things are looking horrifying for the other nets. All the CW has that gives them decent ratings is Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, Smallville and Americas Next Top Model (to as lesser extent, 90210). ABC’s got massive holes to fill with Desperate Housewives, Dancing With The Stars, Brothers and Sisters, EM:HE, Lost, Grey’s Anatomy and to a lesser extent Ugly Betty giving them any sort of traction. NBC’s got L&O:SVU, The Office and to a lesser extent L&O and 30 Rock bringing them anything decent ratings wise and FOX can only crow about House, Fringe, Idol, Simpsons, American Dad and Family Guy.
Next fall we can expect to see a glutton of new series on these nets with maybe 1 or 2 shos to breakout per network.
CBS is in a great place!

He’s the creepiest-looking thing I’ve ever seen. People are watching for HIM? I fell asleep during The Mentalist. Everyone–go watch a good show, like Pushing Daisies!!!

It’s true, I’ve never watched CBS in my life until The Mentalist all because of Simon Baker’s charm.
