We still love Michael J. Fox. His special Adventures of an Incurable Optimist made the #20 spot with 6.5 million viewers. I watched & I loved seeing just how this man & the people he followed were able to let their optimism be their life force. It was inspiring.
It's getting close to the end of the season. Finales of all our favorite shows are everywhere. Pretty soon we will be plunged into repeat hell. What are we going to watch then? How it affects the ratings will be interesting. CBS has always done well with repeats so you can expect them to continue to do well. ABC & FOX will be offering some different programming to keep us entertained until their summer line kicks in. For this week though, it's still American Idol in the top spot with Dancing With the Stars right on it's heels. Idol's results show had more viewers tuning in on Wednesday to see who went home than who ruined a great rock-n-roll song. Next week is the finals for both competition shows.
