coupla' comments
checked the news for info on Amber:
all I could find was an article that said the network was promising to
return
to the old JoA you used to love, while Amber wanted the show to be "even
darker"all of which doesn't leave me feeling exactly enlightened
Numbers<I really thought I was the _only_ demographic for this one>
has slid, but only about 1 share point, considering it was ballyhood after
a
post-playoff-game-premier as a 'hit', it seems to be solid in its regular
time slot
tagging it as declining is a bit premature, IMHO
the new L&O is on Thur, not Fri, so, relevance, your honor?
