the fate of Mer and Der

By

Grey’s Anatomy executive producer and creator Rhonda Rhimes gives hints on what’ll happen this new season.

Readers can expect Kate Walsh to “make some trouble” and the Mer and Der rollercoaster relationship to FINALLY settle down. “The first “Oh my God!” moment will come “probably five minutes into the first episode,” she says.

The writer’s strike is over, but not all shows will return to the screen this season. Some have decided to put off their premiere for another few months, just to get those scripts rolling again.
View this list of schedules to find out which of your favorite series to expect. Some, like Grey’s Anatomy and Samantha Who? are pretty much shoo-ins. But fans of Private Practice and Pushing Daisies will have to wait till next season. Others are in danger of being killed off altogether.

Nielsen’s Top 10 List

By

The Nielsen Media Research announced the Top 10 TV shows of 2007.

Leading the pack is the Fox show American Idol, which got a stunning 17.3 rating. It’s the second year in the row for Simon and company, who — despite a really bad selection of contestants — still got the audience hooked. However the numbers are slipping, and if the new season brings another batch of losers, who knows if it’ll still keep the attention of a disgruntled and more discriminating audience.

Another reality shows secured the next top spots: Dancing with the Stars, which got only slightly higher ratings than NBC’s Sunday Night Football. CSI, one of CBS’ best shows, still got in the top 10, but slipped from number 4 to number 7; CSI Miami slipped from number 7 to number 10.

Some new shows got into the Top !0, like Grey’s Anatomy and Samantha Who? House, another Fox hit, made it to the list.

Specials like the Academy Awards and the Superbowl were also part of the top 10 most-watched shows of the year.
