It would never happen though for the same reason why we never see American Idol or Dancing with the Stars in primetime on ITV1 or BBC One, it would flop.
I love watching American shows like Idol, CSI or The Mentalist but there are people who refuse to watch 'foreign' shows and that it true to the US. |

In the States for the most part, British television is limited to PBS, and BBC America. There are some exceptions, like Doctor Who, and Primeval on The Sci-Fi Channel, and Hustle on AMC. But for the most part, they'll take a British show, and remake it for their audience, the aformentioned American Idol and Dancing With The Stars being the obvious examples.

For the Saturday 25th April schedules, Radio Times is currently indicating that The Colour of Money is back at 18:30 with Primeval at 19:30 and BGT at 20:30.
But the ITV Press Centre is saying that Primeval is at 19:00 and there's no sign of Colour of Money. Can someone with Digiguide please confirm which one's correct? ---- Also, Martin Clunes: Islands of Britain will be taking the 9pm slot from Sunday 3rd May for 3 weeks. Good scheduling for Clunes, but I wish that Billy Connolly's show had also got a Sunday slot as it deserved one, and would have got higher ratings in one. Dreadful for Hell's Kitchen, but it should bounce back to 3.5-4m tonight. |

No surprise for Hells Kitchen last night, I expected it to be much worse, especially when up against The Apprentice. I expect it will be just below 4m tonight.
I'm not sure Ashes to Ashes will affect it greatly- its two completely different audiences imo. |

Wednesday 15th April
USA Overnight Ratings Sorted by adults 18-49 rating 8pm: FOX - Bones..............................10.76m.....3.0/9.......2.2/8 ABC - Scrubs...............................5.30m.....2.0/7.......2.1/8 CW - America's Next Top Model...3.76m.....1.8/5.......1.9/7 CBS - New Adventures of Old......5.68m.....1.6/5.......0.9/3 NBC - Law and Order...................5.57m.....1.3/4......1.0/4 8.30pm: ABC - Better Off Ted.....................4.72m.....1.9/6......1.9/6 CBS - Gary Unmarried...................5.87m.....1.8/5......1.0/3 9pm: FOX - American Idol....................23.49m.....8.0/20.....6.1/18 ABC - Lost.....................................9.01m.....3.9/10....4.0/12 CBS - Criminal Minds...................10.51m.....2.5/6......1.5/4 NBC - Law and Order: SVU...........5.51m.....1.5/4......1.2/3 10pm: CBS - CSI: New York...................12.01m.....2.8/8......2.0/6 ABC - The Unusuals......................6.21m.....1.9/5......1.7/5 NBC - Law and Order...................5.95m......1.7/5......1.4/4 NETWORKS: FOX - 5.5/15, 4.2/13 & 17.13m ABC - 2.6/7, 2.6/8 & 6.74m CBS - 2.4/7, 1.5/5 & 9.43m NBC - 1.5/4, 1.2/4 & 5.68m CW - 1.1/3, 1.2/4 & 2.36m SOURCE: Tvbythenumbers NOTES: FOX - Trounced the competition again, Idol slightly higher than last week. A rearranged Bones did well in the very weak 8pm slot. NBC - All episodes of Law and Order were repeats giving it a very poor night and trailing Spanish language Univision in 18-49's. ABC - Wednesdays still aren't great, 8pm comedies won't return and The Unusuals looks doomed. Lost is the only upside. CBS - Repeats from 8pm till 10pm which did OK. CSI: NY is the only one of the CSI franchise that doesn't seem to have lost viewers in recent years and is now quite close to CSI: Miami. CW - Top Model continues to perform well but they give up at 9pm against Idol with a 90210 repeat drawing less than 1m. |

Bones did very well and it's airing an extra episode next Monday instead of a House repeat alongside its usual Thursday, it's nice to see FOX cut it some slack.
CSI: NY did very well considering the rest of the lineup was repeats, I think it is the best of the three after CSI and it's better written than CSI: Miami which has the most ludicrous plots for episodes although still enjoyable. CBS would be mad to split it from Criminal Minds. |

Hell's Kitchen was much better tonight, so hopefully the ratings will have risen to about 4m.

NBC will be showing Merlin soon, though that's one of those shows/films that could only be made with a British accent.
I understand the acquisition was mostly due to a shortage of drama scripts during the writers strike, but it does say something about how desperate NBC are for hits. I doubt any of the other networks, or NBC a couple of years ago for that matter, would have tried this. |

How's the JLC show been doing. I really enjoyed the first two episodes but haven't remembered to catch it since, it's quite good for an ITV2 show. I don't expect it to be doing brilliantly but do you think it'll get renewed?

The thing about Hell's Kitchen is that it isn't the quality of the show, but the quality of the opposition that determines how well it does.

I just cant get in to it at all. Also, it may have been dented last night by Katie and Peter, which got 989,000 on ITV2, with a further 345,000 on +1. Traffic Cops won the slot with a lower than usual 4.16m, so it looks like everything was down (The Mentalist fell to 2.39m, and My Family only got 4.81m, and is now only 200k ahead of The Bill). See here for a full roundup. |

Show 1- 3.6m Show 2- 3.4m Show 3- 4.2m Average of 3.73m so this series is only slightly down on the last one. There is no reason why it can't slowly crawl back up to 5m for the final just as the last series did. |

How is it disasterous? Its a big improvement on what they've been showing lately in the same slot, and the ratings for the first three shows of the last series were:
Show 1- 3.6m Show 2- 3.4m Show 3- 4.2m Average of 3.73m so this series is only slightly down on the last one. There is no reason why it can't slowly crawl back up to 5m for the final just as the last series did. No word on the UEFA Cup ratings for Machester City vs. Hamburg yet? |

I'm no expert, but surely what it needs is some controversy and tabloid coverage. If that happens the ratings will pick up.

Here's a question for folks. Will the combined audience for ITV2 (Katie & Peter), 3 (Taggart) and 4 (Man City vs. Hamburg) @ 9pm beat the audience for Hells Kitchen on ITV1 at 9pm?
