Broadcast TV Ratings for Friday, November 16, 2007 November 17, 2007 5:24 pm

CBS remained a solid first place for the evening, while ABC and NBC battled it out for second, with ABC coming out on top among households, but NBC taking second among viewers and adults 18-49, thanks in large part to the evening’s most-watched program (Deal or No Deal).

Numb3rs was the evening’s most-watched series series among adults 18-49.

Over at ABC, Women’s Murder Club was unable to take advantage of its Thursday night special showing after Grey’s Anatomy, as the series posted week-to-week losses.

My full analysis follows after the jump.

Jorja Fox’s last episode of CSI helped propel CBS to first place for the evening among households, viewers and adults 18-49.

However, ABC remained very close in the demo thanks to the evening’s most-watched show in that category, Grey’s Anatomy.

Women’s Murder Club failed in its special post-Grey’s Anatomy timeslot, with below 50% retention.  Additionally, the show wasn’t able to match last Friday’s viewer total.

TV Blogs Go Dark in Solidarity with the Writers Guild of America November 12, 2007 11:59 pm

Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in WGA Strike.
add a comment

On November 13th, this blog and the blogs listed below will be on strike for the day in solidarity with the Writers Guild of America. As fellow writers and as TV fans, we are coming together to express our strong support for the writers and their goals. We believe that when a writer’s work makes money for a company, that writer deserves to be paid.

Many writers depend on residuals for a stable income, and that income shouldn’t be based on an outdated formula which ignores the existence of new media and all but a tiny percentage of DVD sales. The talented writers responsible for so much of what we love about television should and must be paid fairly and equitably, and we will stand with them until they reach that goal. For everyone’s sake, and for the sake of television, we hope both sides can come to an agreement quickly.

To further that goal, we are calling on our readers to sign this petition and to contact the following television networks, voicing support for the writers and for a return to the negotiating table:

ABC
500 South Buena Vista Street
Burbank, CA 91521
(818) 460-7777

FOX
10201 W. Pico Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90035
(310) 369-1000

CBS
7800 Beverly Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90036
(323) 575-2345

NBC / Universal
100 Universal City Plaza
Universal City, CA 91608
(818) 777-1000

After the blackout, we intend to continue our campaign to support the WGA until the dispute has been resolved fairly. Since we will not be posting any new content on the 13th, we encourage our readers to visit United Hollywood instead for frequent updates about the strike.

In solidarity-
