The only one on this list that we watch on a regular basis is NYPD Blue and
I think I read that this will be its last season. We gave Medical
Investigation and LAX one viewing each and never watched them again...not
even worth using TIVO.. Dr. Vegas never made it past the "coming
attractions".

Joan is doing worse than Dr. V? I'm sure the Friday 8pm slot will have a
vacancy for next season. With Dr. V, make that two. I guess that means two
more procedurals, CBS can't seem to make anything else work.

For the sake of accurate analysis, it should be mentioned that the
Charmed episode on the 24th was a repeat from last season. The new
episodes this season have been getting between 2.8-3.2 National ratings.

There were almost certainly some other repeats last week as last week and
this week are when the nets will usually throw in a repeat before the
start of sweeps.

--- The list is simply a reflection of the numbers for those shows that
aired in their regular time slots for that particular week, being the
latest one published and regardless of whether the episodes were
repeats or originals. "Charmed" had another airing in a Thursday slot
with another repeat, where it got a 1.2, but I didn't include that
because it didn't air in its regular night and time period. Other
weeks will naturally reflect different results for some of the shows,
depending on the kind of episode aired and competition.

--- It's the final season for it as it is, so I guess they'll all be
gone anyway.
