Message Board


Touched By An Angel (CBS, Saturday 8pm. Premieres September 28th)

What's Happening: Are angels falliable? The series will test the theory when Tess comes down with Alzherimer's. Meanwhile, the series opens with a disaster. Bad ratings.

Where It's Been:  A flop in its first season, a move to Saturdays made ratings fly high. A move to a night later a year later sent ratings into the top 5. At the end of the 2000/2001 season it got moved back to Saturday's with horrible results. Outside of "Off Centre," it was probably the biggest surprise renewal of the year.

Last Season's High: 15.1mil (Sunday, December 16, 2001)

Premiere Prediction: 9.4mil

The Reason:  A weak lead in to what will be a weak night. And this will be the last season.


The District (CBS, Saturday 9pm. Premieres September 28th)

What's Happening:  Ving Rhames comes on board for a few episodes, while love is in the air for everybody else.

Where It's Been: Became CBS's only Saturday hope when it debuted two years ago. Viewership dipped last season, but it's still overwealmingly the top rated show on the night.

Last Season's High: 13.3mil (December 1, 2001)

Premiere Prediction: 11.6mil

The Reason:  The show will continue to be CBS's bright Saturday light, even if fewer viewers show up than before.


The Agency (CBS, Saturday 10pm. Premieres September 28th)

What's Happening:  Gone are Gil Bellows and Gloria Reuben, in is Jason O'Mara. The seires also takes on a mroe "Alias"y slant, only with Jennifer Garner nor the fun.

Where It's Been:  Performed horrifically in its first season. Even though it drew enviable number, it usually dropped more than half of "CSI"s viewers, and it only got worse as the season wore on.

Last Season's High: 12.5mil (April 25, 2002)

Premiere Prediction: 10.6mil

The Reason:  Should the viewers it had follow it, CBS could have a winner. Teaming it up with "The District" (which is crossed over with last season) seems like a good idea.
