How sad is it that "5th Grader" is the No. 1 new show of the year? In a TV season that has brought great shows like Heroes, Ugly Betty, Brothers & Sisters, and 30 Rock, it's this one that is the highest rated. So wrong.

Not really. I think it has to do with time slot and also because the program is appropriate for a larger viewing audience. A show that appeals to children and adults alike (like Idol) is bound to get a larger audience.

I know. I'm just saying from a quality standpoint.

I agree killerhook321. :( All those overdramatic gameshows pauses shows annoy me.

I saw This Film is Not Yet Rated at the Philadelphia Film Festival last year. It's a MUST SEE for indie film fans.

Now that it doesn't have American Idol to follow, I predict a massive drop in ratings tonight. Against NCAAs, Ugly Betty, Smallville, and The Office, how could it do anything but fail?
