These days we have to be happy for every little detail. Good to know people in the US are still watching reruns which of course helps a lot in the battle for viewers.

Zap2It informs us about Nielsen's Raitings. BONES won its slot for the umpteenth time! Well, it's probably a bit of exaggeration but whatever! I just wanted to use the word 'umpteenth'. I like it! I admit I have a thing for certain words, or better to say for unique-looking words. lol
