Combining the two nights, that equates to 11 million viewers per episode for the first two new shows in the series. An even bigger plus has to be that the repeat episodes scored higher ratings than some of the new episodes of According To Jim, the lame sitcom that never should have received renewal in the first place.

While I do find it odd that ABC repeated the show so quickly, I hope the multiple showings helps it in the long run. It is a deserving show (as opposed to say...Knight Rider).
