My Two Cents: Dancing with the Stars took back it’s lead, edging out American Idol. The results show, however still slid. Hopefully next week will have a better showing, given the winner was finally announced (I’m not angry about who won, they are talented. They just weren‘t my fave.) On the finale front, Lost’s final episode ever rose to the occasion, taking the number ten spot.

CBS still dominates, in drama and the comedy front, with the Big Bang Theory being the top comedy this week (the only one in the top ten this time around.)

On a related note, CBS has been announced the winner of the 2009-2010 season, according to the article I read from Reuters, its seventh time in eight years. However, Idol is still the most watched show, its seventh straight year.

What is your two cents? Did any of your favorites make the list? Are you surprised at Lost’s placement?

  1. I really wish that CBS would see Rules of Engagement should have been canceled. HELLO..it doesn’t even make the top 20 with its other three shows! Gary Unmarried could easily fit into that lineup. Gary and Charlie back to back? Awesome combo.

    I think it’s proof LOST needed to end considering it’s SERIES finale barely made it in the top 10.

    YAY for Grey’s.

    And YAY for CBS. :)

  2. I agree about ROE, and would like to include “New Christine” along with Gary. The cast on that show was perfect, even when the story wasn’t.
