Raw's ratings are very high from what I can remember in the past. They were doing low 3's after Austin and Rock left I believe.

Hmmm.

Blitzkrieg

Well, all I can say is that the public has lost their damn mind. NCIS? CSI? It's the same shit every episode. Guy kills someone, ad then they do all this shitty research and find out who he is at the end.

Then, Survivor? Ugh.. Who cares anymore?

This is unbelievable.

Invictus

Whats the feeling stateside about Studio 60 on the Sunet Strip. I'm dl'ing episodes every week and I love it, its very similar to the West Wing but from what I have heard its got a shitty slot (I think its on same time as CSI:Miami) and is only getting 6.0 ratings.

Critics love it but I'm guessing if they only get 6.0 then its gonna get cancelled.

Actually along with Heroes it's considered one of the bigger hits this season.

It will be around for awhile at least...
