Fox has moved into a first-place tie with CBS for the season, and it likely will pass CBS to lead all networks within the next two days.

Fox and CBS have a 3.9 rating among adults 18 to 49, according to Nielsen, with Fox on the verge of rounding up to a 4.0 with the next two nights of "American Idol."

That will put Fox in the solo lead position at an early point in the season, a lead that network ratings analysts expect Fox to maintain through the end of May.

Liberals having the vapors by the thousands. Video at 6 tonight.

American Idol pretty much blows form what little I've seen of it.

Fox is pretty apolitical, as opposed to FoxNews.

I love American Idol
now I will admit I use the DVR to compress 2 hours into 20 minutes, LOL

[3AngelaD]

Goody. I enjoy seeing coverage of Libs having vapors.

Telemundo's new Zorro is pretty good if you prefer action/adventure, real swashbuckling, attractive characters and an actual plot. There is an English CC service if you don't speak Spanish.

American Idol:
aka The Gong Show
aka Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts
aka Ted Mack's Amateur Hour

Time - old crap re-packaged.

[TomGuy]

Fox had some fairly decent new drama programs for a change this season, but cancelled most of them.

I never watched any of the Fox reality crap. I am glad that genre seems to be subsiding.

This years one is pretty crappy, a bunch of semi-talented hacks compared to past years performers.

[Geronimo]

American Idle...

[GATOR NAVY]

I don't watch Fox TV any more than I watch NBC, ABC or CBS...which is never.

Fox News is something different.

[doorgunner69]

Now, if Foxnews can pull up even with CB.S., we will really see liberal heads exploding.

[Bob J]

That's the Fox Network, not Fox News.

[celtic gal]

Oh that's what it is...I thought we had dense fog roll in last night here on the Central Coast of CA...glad it is Lib vapors...

[Brilliant]

The only entertainment TV I watch is "24" and I just started watching that recently.

[El Conservador]

I think many liberals are incapable of making that distinction.

[shield]

Yes, Fox Network is pretty liberal. When ever you've got lets say a Bush Speech...they put the liberals from FoxNews Cable on. Shep Smith for one...it's sickening to hear the garbage they spew...hate Bush always...
