New House

There was a new episode of House broadcast last night. Because of baseball playoffs, this will be the first time there's been a new House up against a new My Name Is Earl and a new Commander In Chief.

Earl probably has a different audience anyway, but CIC is highly popular and attracts similar viewers. It should be interesting to see how the ratings turn out. Both House and CIC are top twenty shows--my semi-informed guess is CIC has built up enough steam to surpass House (even though I prefer the latter.) Fox might regret allowing the Commander audience to build for a month while House had nothing new.
