Honestly, I'm not too worried about the ratings. One, we're getting a s9. And sure, while they weren't the best, it's not the end of it.

Two, every show was down except for Earl, Besides sports were on, and the sucky promotion the CW did didn't help much.

Yeah, I meant the regular covers Because those were pretty, well... lame...

I am not too worried about the ratings anymore, either. I don't think the show will go much longer than 9 seasons and we have a 9th season already.

LOL any idea on when season 8 will be on dvd? I know the season isn't over yet so it will be a while but for me out of all 8 years of watching this show, season 8 has been by far my fav! Definately plan on getting this season when it comes to DVD.

Most likely S8 will be out on DVD and Hi Def Blu Ray sometime in September of this year. Exact date isn't available yet, but the set can be pre-ordered on amazon.com already

Kush...You are correct. I definitely think a "two week break in the middle of the string of new episodes" wasn't such a good idea on the part of the CW. I call it a bad programming choice.

Overnight ratings breakdown from MediaWeek:

Rank Show Network Rating(in millions of viewers) Last Week
#1 Survivor CBS 11.32 11.62 (#1)
#2 Bones FOX 8.22 8.72 (#2)
#3 My Name Is Earl(8:00-8:30) NBC 5.50 5.30 (#4)
#4 Parks & Recreation(8:30-9:00) NBC 5.23 5.92 (#3)
#5 Grey's Anatomy (R) ABC 5.12 N/A
#6 Smallville The CW 3.05 1.83 (R) (#7)

Those were NOT good. I would say, what's good is that despite the poor ratings...itunes downloads SV was up to number 7 for the week.

Well, hope that the next 2 episodes leading to the season finale, we get back to 3.8 and higher. I'd love to see a couple of 4.0's before this season is over.

No problem, just glad to bring that over. I hope I have better news for all of us next week to post

I was fully expecting Chloe/Allison to be on the Season 8 dvd cover. She's never been on one, she's leading lady (second in credits) this season, she's been part of major arcs, and yet she is once again not on the cover.

Easy Kyls, it's not like you to get that upset.
I agree with you that Allison deserve that opportunity to be on the cover but it's unfortunate that they decide to leave her off.

Having a look at the cover, it has the Daily Planet in the background and it's more about Clark starting to work there this season so I guess it's only logical that they add Lois too.

Still I would have preferred that they have redesign the cover and had Chloe on there too but no another disappointment for us Allison fans.

I agree, Grant. While I would love for Allison to be on a cover, it makes sense to put Clark and Lois on it. Since Clark is supposed to get closer and closer to his destiny by working at the DP with Lois.

i'm more disappointed in Doomsday/Davis not making it
alot of people know who he is based on comics and the recent animated film
as well as the Justice League animated series

hopefully Chloe gets it one year

That is how much this bugs me. You can also find me venting on other threads..

See, I think Clark/Lois (and maybe Jimmy) would be perfect for Season 9. But this season it really should have been Chloe or Davis/Doomsday.

It makes sense too because Clark is starting at the Daily Planet & such. My only complaint is where is Davis?
