Idol (23.97 million total viewers) rebounded from last week's sizable dip by gaining 2.7 mil, and actually was up four percent from last season's Top 3 performance night. NCIS (14.7 mil) added 900 thou. Beauty and the Geek wrapped up its (final?) season with a typical 1.53 mil.

Wait a minute! When did the network decide to ax Women's Murder Club? Who reported this before today? I am very surprised. I admit that I hated the first episode of the show, but I gave it a chance again and last night's turned out to be an incredibly good one.

I am sad they cancelled just when it won me over. Poor Angie Harmon. I hope she lands a new show soon. She's great.

What spineless weanies the studio officials are! They quietly cancel a good show that the network didn't support and these idiots wonder why overall viewers are down. Meanwhile even more stupid reality shows, that I'll never watch, are being produced.
