		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;but what, bowling?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Obvioulsy no, given we have less bowling halls than we did a few years ago. Sad, too, that.
But, now, most of them are watching other things, from other sources. DVD&#039;s, for one thing.

Or maybe they&#039;re all Blogging.</description>

		<description>Bithead&#039;s point is a good one. If viewer numbers are down overall, showing people are doing something else (but what, bowling?). 
 
But add that a number of shows are not slated to return until late this month, and a certain lack of ballyhoo...</description>

		<description>My immediate response would be that if viewers are not rushing back to their old viewing habits then perhaps the shows they were watching were successful not because they were GOOD, particularly, anymore, but because it was an engrained habit.

Commercial TV, particualrly the big three, have been coasting for a long while, and so too ahve the writers of the shows that they transmit.  When the people payning the newly inflated writers fees look at all of this, one wonders if they&#039;ll consider that they made a bad bargain in the agreement with the writer&#039;s unions.</description>
