That chart is kind of all over the place. My Name is Earl and Ugly Betty scored season lows or close to it. Yet Private Practice ballooned to nine million viewers despite also competiting for viewers with the National Football Championship. How the EW writers manage to spin a doom and gloom tale out of Private Practice gaining nearly 2 million viewers while leaving a new episode of ER eating its dust is a real mystery. I guess if you’re looking to spin a negative point of view out of that you can always find a way, but ABC must be tickled to death.

Tebow is a fruit cake. I watched 30 Rock. Much better.

Isn’t the score for the game wrong?

Private Practice was the only show of the night to gain in viewers it seems.
Brothers and Sisters only retains about 60-65% of it’s lead-in from Desperate Housewives, so Private Practrice is retaining similar numbers. As long as it doesn’t drop-off too much next week, I expect it will be picked up for a 3rd season.
I didn’t realise Ugly Betty scored so low and 5m for 30 Rock !!
