CBS’s comedy lineup carried the network to an easy win last night with several season- and series-high performances.
“The Big Bang Theory” and “How I Met Your Mother” both hit season highs among adults 18-49, with “Theory” also setting series records among total viewers and in the demo.
But the biggest numbers came at 9 p.m., where “Two and a Half Men” rang up a season-high 17.9 million viewers and a 5.6 adults 18-49 rating, according to Nielsen overnights.
The episode featured a cameo from Emilio Estevez, brother of series star Charlie Sheen, and it was easily the highest-rated show of the night on any network.
Earlier in the evening, 8 p.m.’s “Bang” set a new series high in viewers with 11.4 million and among 18-49s with a 4.2 rating. Lead-out “Mother” rose to a 4.6 in the demo, besting last season’s first Britney Spears cameo by 0.1.
That led CBS to a dominant victory on the evening with a 4.3 average overnight rating and an 11 share. NBC was second at 2.6/7, Fox third at 2.1/5, Univision fourth at 1.7/4, ABC fifth at 1.5/4 and CW sixth at 0.6/1.
As a reminder, all ratings are based on live-plus-same-day DVR playback. Seven-day DVR data won’t be available for several weeks. Twenty-eight percent of Nielsen households have DVRs.
At 8 p.m. CBS was first with a 4.4 for “Bang” (4.2) and “Mother” (4.6), followed by NBC with a 2.6 for “Chuck.” ABC was third with a 2.2 for “I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown,” Fox fourth with a 1.9 for “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” Univision fifth with a 1.8 for “Cuidado con el Angel” and CW sixth with a 0.7 for a repeat of “Gossip Girl.”
CBS finished first again at 9 p.m. with a 4.6 for “Men” (5.6) and “Worst Week” (3.6), while NBC remained second with a 3.6 for “Heroes.” Fox was third with a 2.2 for “Prison Break,” Univision fourth with a 1.9 for “Fuego en la Sangre,” ABC fifth with a 1.2 for “20/20” and CW sixth with a 0.5 for a repeat of “One Tree Hill.”
At 10 p.m. CBS led with a 3.8 for “CSI: Miami,” with NBC second with a 1.7 for the series finale of “My Own Worst Enemy.” Univision was third with a 1.3 for “Cristina” and ABC fourth with a 1.2 for “20/20.”
CBS also led the night among households with an 8.3 average overnight rating and a 13 share. NBC was second at 4.0/6, Fox third at 3.4/5, ABC fourth at 3.1/5, Univision fifth at 2.0/3 and CW sixth at 1.0/1.
The series finale of David E. Kelley’s “Boston Legal” was predictably unpredictable, with an unlikely twosome tying the knot in the end (spoiler alert – the names appear further down in the story).
The show’s two-hour sendoff drew decent numbers, too, despite airing against originals on CBS and ESPN’s always-dominant “Monday Night Football.”
“Legal” averaged 10.2 million total viewers from 9 to 11 p.m., according to Nielsen overnights, 11 percent above its season average of 9.2 million.
The show averaged a 2.4 adults 18-49 rating, matching its season average, though that was still a decent showing considering it was without sometime lead-in “Dancing with the Stars,” which boosted ABC’s entire Monday lineup until its midseason finale two weeks ago.
“Legal” was never a huge ratings draw, though it enjoyed some critical acclaim and lots of Emmy love. The show finished its five-year run on a surprising note when platonic friends Denny and Alan got married.
With “Legal’s” departure, Kelley is now without a show in primetime for the first time in two decades.
As a reminder, all ratings are based on live-plus-same-day DVR playback. Seven-day DVR data won’t be available for several weeks. Twenty-eight percent of Nielsen households have DVRs.
CBS led the night among viewers 18-49 with a 4.1 average overnight Nielsen rating and a 10 share. ABC was second at 2.9/7, NBC third at 2.6/7, Fox fourth at 2.0/5, Univision fifth at 1.7/4 and CW sixth at 1.2/3.
At 8 p.m. CBS was first with a 4.0 for “The Big Bang Theory” (3.7) and “How I Met Your Mother” (4.2), followed by ABC with a 3.8 for “Charlie Brown Christmas.” NBC was third with a 2.4 for “Chuck,” Fox fourth with a 1.8 for “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” Univision fifth with a 1.7 for “Cuidado con el Angel” and CW sixth with a 1.5 for “Gossip Girl.”
CBS was first again at 9 p.m. with a 4.3 for “Two and a Half Men” (5.2) and “Worst Week” (3.5), with NBC second with a 3.6 for “Heroes.” ABC was third with a 2.3 for “Legal,” Fox fourth with a 2.1 for “Prison Break,” Univision fifth with a 1.8 for “Fuego en la Sangre” and CW sixth with a 1.0 for “Privileged.” (note that once again "Heroes" was #1 in its time slot in its last half against "Worst," "Boston," "Break," and whatever the CW and Univision had on)
At 10 p.m. CBS completed the nightly sweep with a 4.0 for “CSI: Miami,” while ABC moved to second with a 2.6 for more “Legal.” NBC was third with a 1.8 for “My Own Worst Enemy” and Univision fourth with a 1.5 for “Cristina.”
CBS also finished first for the night among households with a 7.9 average overnight rating and a 12 share. ABC was second at 6.4/10, NBC third at 3.9/6, Fox fourth at 3.3/5, Univision fifth at 2.2/3 and CW sixth at 1.7/3.

Why can't they be like this on the damned show???
Remember when Nathan landed in the parking lot in S1?
Sorry for the delay.
R.I.P., Elle.
NBC appears prepared to hand over the troublesome 10 o'clock weeknight slot to Jay Leno as the company barrels through a painful restructuring brought on by low ratings and a bad economy.
Leno, the soon-to-be-exiting "Tonight Show" host who's been making rumblings about heading to ABC or elsewhere, will apparently do a nightly prime-time show. This will keep Leno in the NBC fold after Conan O'Brien takes over "Tonight" next year.
A 10 p.m. Leno show would be high-risk, especially if the host generates viewing levels no higher than the 5 million or so who tune in to watch "Tonight." But such a program would presumbly be relatively low-cost and would thus help NBC balance the books in a difficult economic environment. The move probably signals an end, at least for now, to NBC's ambitious and costly 10 p.m. dramas. "ER" is ending its run this season, and new efforts like "My Own Worst Enemy" have failed to find viewers.
At an investment conference today, NBC Universal boss Jeff Zucker said that the company's flagship network may trim its programming because of the poor economy.
"Can we continue to program 22 hours of prime time? Three of our competitors don't," Zucker was quoted as saying. "Can we afford to program seven nights a week? One of our competitors doesn't. All of these questions have to be on the table. And we are actively looking at all of those questions."
Last week, the company axed three top programming execs as part of a major retrenchment. Today, the industry rumor mill buzzed with talk of more executives sent packing, including Erin Gough Wehrenberg (who, in yet another realignment this year, was made a top deputy to now-ousted studio head Katherine Pope) and Ted Frank, a three-decade-plus veteran of NBC. The network's release emphasized the return of former studio head Angela Bromstad, sidestepping mention of the latest blood-letting; a network spokeswoman declined to comment on executives exiting the company.
NBC made headlines two years ago by saying it would fill the 8 p.m. slot with low-cost fare. That maneuver has not worked out well, as the game show "Deal or No Deal" has suffered from overplaying and product-placement-heavy shows like "Knight Rider" have struggled in the ratings.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2008/12/jay-leno-lands.html
What this means is that NBC next fall has to cut five hours from its primetime. Thats not to mention whatever hours NBC would cut for new programs. This means that show on the downside could be sent packing....including Heroes.
Last week, Heroes held its own, winning the last half hour, but the numbers are down, and NBC is looking to cut costs. Heroes could move to NBC-owned SciFi, but that would significantly lower its audience numbers.
NBC needs to know that Heroes DOES have a strong base of fans and that cancelling the show at THIS point would be premature.
To all of our members, just to let you know that there will be no recaps tonight, and we will not be able to post full eppys until Friday morning. Same with ratings results.
Thanks for understanding.
Don
So many people have sent me grins, I am returning the favor!
After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips
to Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring
and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunately, my wife
is like most women - she loved to browse.
Yesterday, my dear wife received the following letter from the local
Wal-Mart:
Dear Mrs. Samsel,
Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a
commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have
been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints
against
Mr. Samsel are listed below and are documented by our video
surveillance cameras.
1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in
people's carts when they weren't looking.
2 . July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-
minute intervals.
3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the
women's restroom.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official
voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away. '
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of
M&M's
on layaway.
6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other
shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and
blankets
from the bedding department.
8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him, he began
crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'
9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as
a mirror while he picked his nose.
10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he
asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly
humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.
12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna
look' by using different sizes of funnels.
13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed
through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'
14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he
assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES
AGAIN!'
And last, but not least,
15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited
awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in
here!'
Yahoo TV recently posted a photo feature called "WRITE 'EM OFF," saying....quote....
"The world of television characters and personalities is a complex one. There are those we adore, others we love to hate, and still those who shock us, surprise us, and keep us coming back for more week after week. But there's another troublesome category -- made up of both fictional characters and all-too-real reality buffoons -- who just seem to suck the life out of what is otherwise a perfectly pleasing show. Whether they're annoying, a complete snooze-fest, or simply too self-absorbed to sit through, they've got one thing in common: They've got to go. Click through this slideshow to see our list of the top five TV faces we'd write off if only we could."
Well guess who was on the third position on that list:
"There are a million things we'd like to get rid of on HEROES (Can this show ever get back to its Season 1 glory days?), but let's start with the obvious, most-glaring: Mohinder Suresh. For a supposedly intelligent scientist, Mohinder has done the dumbest things. He's indecisive, and what's worse is that he's clueless when he finally does make those critical decisions. His idiotic actions make no sense and have turned him into an irritating character. Just hearing his voice with its fake accent annoys us, and it doesn't help that he narrates the opening and closing of each episode. It seems that no one ever dies on "Heroes," but if they ever do, the first to go should be Mohinder."
Comments?
CBS’s “How I Met Your Mother” is on a roll. For the second straight week, the sitcom set a season high among households and adults 18-49, even managing to tie ABC smash “Dancing with the Stars” in its timeslot in the latter.
“Mother” averaged a 4.3 in 18-49s, according to Nielsen overnights, up 0.1 over last week’s previous season high. It was also up a tick in households, to a 6.0 rating.
That came against tough competition in the 8:30 p.m. timeslot from ABC’s “Stars.” Though the reality show thumped “Mother” among total viewers, doubling the latter’s 9.8 million, the two tied among 18-49s for leadership in the slot.
That helped CBS to yet another easy Monday night victory in this third week of sweeps.
As a reminder, all ratings are based on live-plus-same-day DVR playback. Seven-day DVR data won’t be available for several weeks. Twenty-eight percent of Nielsen households have DVRs.
CBS led the night among 18-49s with a 4.1 average overnight rating and a 10 share. ABC was second at 3.4/8, NBC third at 2.7/7, Fox fourth at 2.1/5, Univision fifth at 1.7/4 and CW sixth at 1.4/3. The latter did manage a 10th straight Monday victory among its target women 18-34, however.
At 8 p.m. ABC was first with a 4.2 among 18-49s for “Dancing with the Stars,” followed by CBS with a 4.0 for “The Big Bang Theory” (3.7) and “Mother” (4.3). NBC was third with a 2.6 for “Chuck,” Fox fourth with a 2.0 for “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” Univision fifth with a 1.7 for “Cuidado con el Angel” and CW sixth with a 1.4 for “Gossip Girl.”
CBS took the lead at 9 p.m. with a 4.2 for “Two and a Half Men” (5.3) and “Worst Week” (3.2), while ABC slid to second with a 3.8 for the end of “Stars” (4.6) and “Samantha Who?” (3.0). NBC was third with a 3.6 for “Heroes,” tying a series low, with Fox fourth with a 2.3 for “Prison Break,” Univision fifth with a 1.9 for “Fuego en la Sangre” and CW sixth with a 1.3 for “One Tree Hill.”
At 10 p.m. CBS led again with a 4.2 for “CSI: Miami,” with ABC second with a 2.2 for “Boston Legal.” NBC was third with a 1.9 for “My Own Worst Enemy” and Univision fourth with a 1.5 for “Cristina.”
Analysis: With a 3.6, Heroes STILL leads in the last half hour with "Worst" second, "Samantha" third, "Break" fourth, "Fuego" fifth, and "Hill" barley holding on at 6th.
Just saying....if Heroes was on at 10, it would not beat, but would be competitive with "CSI:M" in a solid second, with "Boston" 3rd (George Takai should do a cameo on that night, just for the pleasure of kicking Shat's ass for all he said after Sulu's wedding!), and "Christina" 4th.
Among households, ABC was first for the night with a 9.4 average overnight rating and a 14 share. CBS was second at 8.0/12, NBC third at 3.7/6, Fox fourth at 3.5/5, Univision fifth at 2.3/3 and CW sixth at 2.0/3.

Sit down for this one, gang...
According to ODI, A MAJOR character may not be long for this world...
Yes I know many of you are still reeling from the news of two of the more popular writers leaving the show, but one of the common complaints across the board from fans and critics has been that there are too many characters and that they need to kill some off.
Well over the weekend we received some unconfirmed information that Masi Oka's character Hiro might be killed off the show before the end of the season!?
Now before you panic please continue reading, I do love Masi Oka and would hate to see him leave. Besides him being a fan favorite he is a great actor and is one of the core characters of the show. Unfortunately one common "complaint" by some fans has been Hiro's ability to teleport/time travel. Any time something bad happens on the show, fans are quick to say things like, "why can't Hiro go back and change the past or teleport here or there!?"
Time travel in TV or Movies is rarely done right so whenever it used in a story line I just sit back, watch and do not question what the writers are doing. Yes there are some basic rules and principles that have to followed, but the key is, the writer needs to make sure the viewers are aware of those rules so we do not question what can or can not be done. For example, with Hiro he now has a "moral code" that says he will not go back in time because he knows it can F up the future.
If the writers were to take such a bold step to kill off a fan favorite, well maybe they will be able to shore up the story and close some of those potential plot holes that can be created with time travel!?
NOTE: With production of Volume 4 already in the process, do not expect something like this to happen until much later in the season.
Like I said, we have not been able to confirm this information from our other sources, but we will keep you updated on any additional information we get.
UPDATE: Apparently Heroes creator Tim Kring confirmed something like this will INDEED happen before the end of season. Here is his quote, which he made at the Legacy Awards over the weekend:
"Someone you have come to know will not make it to the end of the season." (From Watching Heroes)
What do you all think!? Would this be a good move!? Would NBC allow one of the "faces" of the show be killed off!? By the way, even if he was killed, would he be off the show for good!? Could this be a part of the "creative differences" between the writers of the show!?
http://heroesspoilers-odi.blogspot.com/2008/11/rumor-of-upcoming-main-character-death.html
As reported yesterday here and every where else, Writer/Producers Jesse Alexander and Jeph Loeb left the show for "creative differences". What some are reporting is that it means they were fired.
Here are the official statements by both writers and there is not much, but what I expected that both would say thanks and wish the cast and the rest of the writers the best.
From Loeb:
“As of today, Jesse Alexander and I have left Heroes. I’m incredibly proud to have been a big part of the success a show with eight Emmy nods and a win this year for NBC.com. I will miss the superb cast and writing staff and wish everyone the best.”
Via CBR
From Alexander:
"I write this with a heavy heart. As of today I am no longer a writer/producer on HEROES. I could not be prouder of all the work I did on the show and wish all my Heroic Scribbler pals the very best. I will certainly continue to blog at GLOBAL COUCH."
Via Alexander's Blog
Once again I am not sure if this is the move the show needed right now because Alexander and Loeb were the creative minds connected to the comic book world. I personally felt the show was making a positive move in the story. Unfortunately it always comes down to ratings and money and perhaps now fans realize that these two things can not be ignored.
So what do you all think a day later...!? Still feel the same?? Better or worse??
http://heroesspoilers-odi.blogspot.com/2008/11/official-statements-from-alexander-and.html
Just a reminder that there will be no Heroes episode tonight. NBC is running "Deal or No Deal" and an SNL special.
If it were up to me, I would simply put "DOND" back on Mons. @ 8, followed by Our Favorite Show. That should solve some of the audience problem.
Anyway...back next week,
Don
According to the trades both executive producers/writers Jeph Loeb and Jesse Alexander were fired due to:
The execs' frustration with the creative direction of the show. The show is also said to have been grappling with hefty budget overruns this season, that are going well beyond its already sizable $4 million per-seg pricetag.
While it's sad to see Loeb (the only writer with any comic-book cred) exit the NBC doors, I have to say this was probably for the best. Let us not forget the creative direction Sylar (the once bad ass villain has taken), the many tacked-on characters and the bazillion ho-hum plot lines.
Now who should they get to replace them, besides all the J.J. Abrams people who are busy writing Lost, Fringe and StarTrek 2? (Just guessing on that last one). Actually, I think Steven S. DeKnight (Buffy, Angel, Smallville) is available, having just left the staff of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse.

I am not going to bore you with the complications...the full ratings from last night are here: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/ratings.aspx?id=monday
And I am sure you will see the headline HEROES FALTERS AGAIN!
On the surface, you might be right, but there is good news if you look for it.
First, can we just admit that there are a lot of people who like to watch E-list celebrities dancing with all three left feet. And that did cut into the totals. So did last night's Slip-N-Slide edition of the World Series (memo to Rupert: This is God's punishment to you for hiring O'Reilly! Just sayin'....)
So for Our Golden Hour:
No information on MNT was available.
Yep it does look bad, even though HEROES is still one of NBC's top 3 dramatic scripted shows on a network that is weak throught the week.
HOWEVER, it gets better when you tak a look at the demos from the 18-49 year-old group: the money demo....or, as I call them...viewers with a pulse....it does get tighter and things look better:
First Half Hour:
And the Second Hour (I did not have a complete breakdown, but when you add Sam and Gary, it looks like this:
The bottom line is that Heroes for all of the premature obituaries, is still kicking major rump on Mondays with the audience that cares. Yes it is down, but it remains a strong player for NBC.
And NBC needs to know that. There needs to be letters and e-mails sent from those who love the show that you support it. Go to http://www.nbc.com/Footer/Contact_Us/ the scroll down until you see the pull-down menu. Select HEROES, then write. Let them know that you are enjoying the show and that you are supporting it.
Also support the sponsors. When you go get your Sprint phone or or buy and Apple computer or Ipod, tell them you heard about it on HEROES....and thank them.
We're not out yet....not by a long shot!
For the last year we have waited for THIS moment. Not the one where Claire drags Elle by the hair, but THIS, where they kinda bond.
Its bickery, dramatic, and funny as hell. And Claire/Heyden and Elle/Kristen make a great team. If they jusrt just concentrated on these two, the show would be back to more than just mere amazing again.
Oh, and note near the end the little nod the the ladies and the writers give to the femslashers who have kept eClaire going all this year...many times in ways that will never windup on NBC!
Enjoy!

Hey All,
Heroes star Greg Grunberg recently spoke with Digital Spy during the London MCM Expo and revealed many details Volume 4 Fugitives.
He did confirm that they are already filming the second episode of Volume 4 which is Episode 3x15.
Thanks to Chris for the heads up.
Here is a summary of the other details:
1) Volume 4 puts the Heroes in a "Guantanamo Bay kind of a situation" and they all have to work together to get out of it.
2) The Hunter is trying to track them all down
3) There is a big Cliffhanger in Epiosde 3x13 (end of Volume 3) that will lead into Volume 4.
4) Matt will take a very dark turn in Volume 4, but there is a reason.
5) We will learn more about Daphne's motives
6) We will see more of Matt and Daphne together in Volume 3
7) In next week's episode 3x07 Daphne is indeed sent to kill Matt
http://heroesspoilers-odi.blogspot.com/2008/10/greg-grunberg-reveals-vol-4-spoilers.html
I was doing a bunch of stuff, so I was not able to write this. Thanks ODI!
Hey All,
Well you have the sneak peeks and the promos so there is probably not much left to tell you all just an hour or two before the episode airs, but you can expect to see Elle and Claire working together and going to Pinehearst where they will run into Peter.
We will also see Sylar hanging out at Pinehearst, plus other spoilers have confirmed that we will see Daphne get an order to kill Matt. So expect to see that story begin as well. Don't forget evil Mohinder working with Arthur as well!!
That is all for now, but make sure you check back more tonight including the promo for next week's episode!!
Enjoy the episode and have a great night!!
Thanks.
And please remember to tell all your friends, with a Game 5 of the World Series, The dancers, Charlie and Jon, RAW, and even that magic show...and the with the numbers in mind, as always....and especially tonight...its HEROES FIRST!!!!
The Speedster talks about her life on the web, gets a bit spoileresque, and talks about Max Payne.
Oh did I tell you that she is also writing a comic book?
http://www.g4tv.com/video_detail.aspx?video_key=29286
Chapter Eight — Villains
Original Air Date: 10 November 2008
To prepare for the confrontation ahead, Hiro follows respected businessman, husband and father Arthur Petrelli in the days before he “died” — to discover what drove him to create rival company Pinehearst and strike at Angela. Later, a moment unfolds where Sylar, horrified and guilt-ridden, might have stopped his murderous pursuit of abilities — that is, if H.R.G. and Elle had swayed from their monstrous assignment. Finally, under the wing of Company man Thompson, agent-in-training Meredith watches her new life go up in smoke, following the arrival of her hot-headed brother.
Looks like we have another flashback episode here. The interesting thing is that....and it was scheduled long before the season started....there will be a one-week break in the action. Meaning that there will be no Heroes 11.03. One wonders what NBC has in store THAT week?
Meanwhile, CBS' Monday night comedy block held steady against Dancing: The Big Bang Theory (9.3 million), How I Met Your Mother (9.0 million), and Two and a Half Men (13.9 million) experienced slight increases over last week’s averages. Only the Eye’s freshman comedy, Worst Week fared a little, well, worse: Ratings were down 515,000 from last week, topping out at 8.8 million. CBS won the 10 p.m. hour, however, with CSI: Miami's 13.6 million viewers stealing the spotlight from both Boston Legal and NBC’s Life (5.8 million).
Life wasn’t NBC’s only letdown, though. Chuck continued to struggle, averaging 5.9 million viewers at 8 p.m. (an 11 percent decline from last Monday’s disappointing premiere), and Heroes tallied just 8.2 million at 9 p.m., a loss of about a million viewers from last week, and well below last year’s 11.6 million average.
Lastly, Fox’s 8 p.m. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and 9 p.m. Prison Break kept pace with previous weeks this season, earning 5.6 and 5.4 million viewers, respectively, though both shows are trailing their previous-year averages (9.8 million and 7.5 million) when they aired in opposite time slots (Terminator at 9 p.m. and Break at 8 p.m.).
The CW aired reruns of Privileged and Gossip Girl last night.
Here's something new, and we will add it when available...the running commentary that is usually available simultaneously on the NBC Heroes feed (that we cannot post).
On this one, its Sendhil Ramamurthy(Mohinder); Christopher Zatta, who is one of the writers; and Chuck Kim, Executive Story Editor. Ennnnnnnn-joy!
Dear friends amd members: This is just to let you knwo that next Tuesday will be election day. Since I will be doing major work connected to that day, next weeks episode will not be put up until Wednesday before 11am PT. That would also include the ratings report.We should have the recap up by 7pm PT.
Also remember that the recap may be a spoiler to many of you....so when you see it, handle with care.
With that, we bring you one HELL of an episode!
