The Nine

Yeah, he's a handsome one.

And I think Frannie (the redhead) is the one that was on the inside.

Honestly, this is the only show that I absolutely have to watch every week. I think the cast is great (first time I've had any extended exposure to Chi McBride--he's great). I really enjoyed this episode. Egan was tolerable, Lizzie was only in a couple of scenes. Katherine and Nick were major players.

I hope the ratings pick up, or at least don't drop off. I really need to know what went on inside the bank, and we haven't even seen Tim Daly shirtless yet.

I think naked Tim Daly would be a surefire way to increase the ratings.

Boy, heartbreaking final scene, much?

I'm oscillating. The pilot was awesome, it faltered a bit, now it seems to be finding it's footing again. I guess I'm there until it no longer is.

Works for me!

Looks like the ratings were pretty bad last night.

followed by ABC clinker The Nine at a series-low 5.5/ 9 in the overnights, 6.68 million viewers and a 2.6/ 7 among adults 18-49. Retention for The Nine out of Lost was just 50 percent in the overnights, 41 percent in total viewers and 39 percent among adults 18-49.

No one ever watches the shows that I love, though I did get two more people to watch the show last night. I hope ABC chooses to stick with it, perhaps in another timeslot. I really want a whole season to play out. If not, I hope they give the the show the chance to wrap up loose ands and tell us what the hell happened. I hate getting sucked in by a show and having to worry every week that it'll be canceled.

That's how I felt about CBS' Smith. I must admit I stopped watching the show after the second episode mostly because I couldn't stand Egan Foote. Tim Daly's hotness wasn't strong enough for me, blasphemy I know.

Shit. I honestly keep forgetting that this airs on Wednesdays. Project Runway and now Top Chef keep me distracted. I do not want this show to be cancelled before I know what happened in that bank.

Off to the ABC site to watch the episode. (I wonder if they care enough to keep track of how many people view the shows online?)

Egan's gotten better. I thought Egan moving in with Nick might drive me crazy, but they seem to make a nice pair. Egan still has his moments (the cowboy outfit), but he's toned it down a bit has has been providing some nice insight.

Bump.

The word is not good.

Question: How come I never see any info on The Nine?— Chris
Ausiello: 'Cause I didn't want to upset you. But if you really want some scoop, I hear that if the show tanks ratings-wise again tonight, ABC's going to yank it off the air until January. Told you the news wasn't good.

Tonight's episode sounds good, with fairly significant flashbacks.
