 CA The best thing NBC can do for SouthLAnd's renewal this fall is to program it Mondays at 8pm or 9pm with SVU and I guarantee the numbers get to Bones or Lie to Me like numbers. Next week it goes against a repeat of Flashpoint which can still effect its ...

 CA By Robert Seidman on May 15, 2009 | Reply I can't completely buy the stampede to lower cost programming because there's no way it's cheaper than airing reruns of Bones, House, Lie to Me, Fringe, etc. If it was truly “ratings be damned”, it seems like ...

I probably wouldn’t have it in the “Not Sure Yet” column even factoring that in, but when I factor in that FOX has already announced plans to air repeats of Lie to Me over the summer, I’m pretty sure it will be back. Could Lie to Me completely tank in ... The Art of the TV Slate Television Week

 CA It won’t be any surprise to people who regularly follow the ratings, and neither will this: Preston Beckman, executive VP, strategic programming and planning at Fox, says Lie To Me is likely to return next season, as the network will give it summer ...

By Bill Gorman gt;>Fox is arguably the most impacted network and took the longest to agree to airing the speech. The network will move Tuesday’s two-hour performance episode of “Idol” to Wednesday, and the Wednesday episode to Thursday at 8 p.m. That preempts “Lie to Me” and “Bones” and puts mega-rate...

By Bill Gorman As for Eleventh Hour, the Index says its coming back and I’m sticking with it. The Retentionistas* hate the show because it loses so much of CSI’s audience. If their flip-flop on Lie To Me is any indication, they’ll likely be ignoring their current attitudes come May. Notes:

By Robert Seidman That was probably more than  anyone wanted to know about DVD sales, but the point is this, facing off against the American Idol behemoth might matter in the ratings, but won’t matter in terms of LOST finishing its run until its series finale in fifteen months or so from now in 2010.  Whatever...

By Robert Seidman – “Lie to Me” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Fox but shifts to 8 p.m. on March 4. Let’s hope the fans figure that out. – “Life on Mars” had a nearly two-month gap between its seventh and eighth episodes - and when it came back it was on a different night.

By Robert Seidman Okay, I'm completely making that up. But I'd love it if FOX would drag in the real-life human lie detectors using the science showcased on Lie to Me and make a two hour special breaking down all the times Alex Rodriguez lied to Peter Gammons on Sportscenter and Katie Couric on 60 Minutes[...]

By Robert Seidman Anyway, we have a lot more data in February than we had in October. Old Christine’s numbers still stink.
