New 'Office' supplies season high

4 9 episode office season

Most of the network’s comedies were roughly on par with their pre-strike averages, but “The Office” spiked to deliver its highest rating since the show’s fall season premiere (9.2 million, 4.8/12). At 8 p.m., “My Name Is Earl” (7 million, 3.0/9) and return of “30 Rock” (5.7 million, 2.7/7) were down slightly from their averages as they were up against an “American Idol” results show. The return of comedy “Scrubs” at 9:30 was up 6% (6.6 million, 3.4/8). At 10 p.m., the return of “ER” was down 14% to match its all-time low (5.9 million, 3.1/8).
NBC came in third place overall, with Fox in first place airing a special “American Idol” results show (20 million, 6.8/19), which matched Wednesday’s “Idol Gives Back” event. After, an episode of “Don’t Forget the Lyrics” performed strong (10.9 million, 4.0/10).
In second place, CBS aired a series low “Survivor: Micronesia” (11.7 million, 3.8/11). “CSI” was down a couple ticks from last week’s return to originals (20 million, 5.7/14), but effectively matched “Idol” as the most-viewed show of night. “Without a Trace” held steady (14.6 million, 3.9/11).

    so says rawstory. In other words, not true.

    Well 39% isn’t a majority, so surely using a process known as democracy..

    Come on people? Impeachment? Going through Congress to get anything done is totally ridiculous.What we need is the return of the Guillotine. Chop Chop

    What a crock of ***** , poll 621 Americans then state “40% of Americans ..” . Come on people 621 Americans , don’t be so easily taken.This reminds me of the propaganda scenes in 1984.I just took a poll asking 1 American if “people are fools” 100% said yes.

    So lets say Bush and Cheney do get impeached. That puts who in charge? Because of that reason alone impeaching both of them will never happen.

    Unless impeachment includes hanging, a firing squad or ol’ Sparky, I’m not in favor.

    LOLthis all comes from a SAN FRANCISCO poll! hmm, i wonder why the figures are against GWB? oh cause the poll was taken by a bunch of faggots!!!!!!

    sweet, so if theres 36% support after 7 years then we should be able to impeach right around 2012

    Of course the question asked was designed to get a higher number. Do they WANT impeachment? that is another question. PEople could take “oppose impeachment” to mean that they don’t think it should even be allowed.

    If it was an open and shut case he would already be on the chopping block. The fact of the matter is, despite peoples dislike for him, he hasn’t commited any impeachable offense. I’ve not seen anyone lay out any credible evidence of wrongdoing. Dislike does make someone impeachable.

    Thirty nine percent is not enough.

  12. Ramsey on 12 Apr 2008 at 5:51 am

    So you’re saying that you nut jobs are the minority by an almost 2 to 1 margin. Awesome.

    Would have been good years ago but would be a horrible idea now. The new elections are coming up soon, Bush’s admin doesn’t have much time left in office anyway, and we don’t need this country torn apart anymore than it already is.
