Nielsen Media Research Top 10- Broadcast Primetime- Week of Mar 06 - Mar 12, 2006

So, I wonder how long until FOX ditches the rest of their prime-time programming and goes staight "American Idol" every night?

Have you watched "The Unit" yet? It's a show about a secret commando unit headed by Dennis Haysbert (the ex-President on "24" and Allstate pitchman). While the stories seem a bit "stretched", Haysbert was a good casting decision and makes the show decent. You can check "The Unit" out on Tuesday nights. Also, I think if you watch the show, Allstate will give you an additional 25% off of your premiums.
