Jim and Pam are happy, and Thursday's ratings aren't too depressing ...
... though a number of shows are losing steam. "Survivor," for example, clocked 12.9 million viewers, which is fine, except that that's almost 2.5m fewer than its premiere last year, and a full 4.5m fewer than two years ago. "Ugly Betty:" 9.77m viewers, down nearly 1.5m from the same point last season. "Grey's Anatomy:" 18.3m, down more than 2.5m from last year. "My Name is Earl:" 6.4m, down 2.2m. "ER:" 7.9m, down 2m - and had fewer viewers than an rerun of "CSI."
By comparison, "The Office" did OK - 9.1m, close to last year's premiere. And so Jim finally proposed to Pam already - there. You happy now?

(Congratulations to the happy couple!)
"Smallville," 4.1m. This is still on? Is he Superman yet? If not, maybe they're following the wrong Clark Kent. The real Clark Kent would be Superman by now.

David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.
