10 Years ago Must See TV was Alive and Kicking....

A Blast from the Past. As the tv season wraps up and the ratings reports are delved out, I noticed an interesting find from eonlines tv ratings report Losing Grey Matter

# For laughs and tears, here are the numbers from NBC's Thursday comedy lineup from 10 years ago: Friends (24 million), Union Square (19.9 million), Seinfeld (34.1 million) and Veronica's Closet (24.4 million).
# And here are the numbers from NBC's Thursday comedy lineup this past season: My Name Is Earl (6.9 million), 30 Rock (6 million), The Office (7.2 million) and Scrubs (5.8 million).
# A decade ago, Union Square got canceled because its audience of nearly 20 million just wasn't good enough. This year, Scrubs got canceled, and then picked up by ABC because its devoted audience of not quite 6 million seemed promising enough.

Then I came across this article. Click on it to go to the story. (sigh) I miss "Friends"
