Weren't the first two seasons on at 8? Doesn't ABC know by now that a large number of their potential viewers for this show are asleep by 10, and that in general reality shows that appeal to a wide audience should be on earlier? At least it is doing better than most of ABC's current schedule anyway...their shows don't repeat well.

People here in the US(or at least in the Southwest) just dont care ahem - not everybody in the SW doesn't care! But even I gave my viewership to the Mole last night

Or is hockey really that undervalued in the US? I'm surprised people have overlooked that. I know I watched the game. I didn't like the first episode that much. Neither mission was entertaining, and I have SEETHING HATRED for the way the executions are run now...

Outside of a few cold weather regions in the Midwest and Northeast hockey is as foreign and non existent a sport to the rest of Americans as cricket or rugby

Not only that, but people who watched online. I had a brain fart, and forgot about it being online, and was reminded at work from people in the break room it was on, but, I was going out for a friend's b-day party, and just watched it today.

"The Mole" (10:00-11:00 p.m.) The season premiere of ABC's "The Mole" attracted 4.7 million viewers and a 1.9 rating, 5 share in Adults 18-49. The ABC unscripted series took second in its hour across the key women demos: Women 18-34 (2.1/6), Women 18-49 (2.7/7) and Women 25-54 (3.0/8). * "The Mole" built on its lead-in among Men 18-34 (1.1/3 vs. 0.7/3) and Men 18-49 (1.2/3 vs. 0.9/3). A note about increasing DVR penetration and year-to-year rating comparisons: Year-to-year rating trends based on the Live + Same Day data stream may be somewhat distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample, which has jumped from 16% at the same point in 2006-07, up to more than 24% currently. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which may not be reflected in the overnight next day numbers. The only truly valid year-to-year comparison would be one based on the Live + 7 Day metric, once those stats are released by Nielsen.

There was no system overload. The quiz was displaying that message because the online portion of the quiz wasn't finished yet. How do I know this? First, after looking through the source file of the quiz, all I found was that message, a rundown of the rules, the background graphic, and the previous/next buttons that led nowhere. Second, if you look at the page source code, you'll see that the filename for the quiz is something like "quiz_v2" (version 2). Comparing the 2 versions confirmed my suspicions, since v2 had a lot more graphics, text, and code in it than the original we saw yesterday. It looks like the web team developing the online quiz only finished it today. Edit: apparently, this post was made on 06/03/98 2:12 PM. If it's 1998, then our beloved Mole premieres in about 2.5 years. Can't wait! Last Edited By: greenscreener 06/04/08 1:50 AM. Edited 2 times.

That sucked. I hope this one makes it. Yea but then they moved it to the summer....we're already at the summer. But like Pirate Master, the whole show is already in the bag so even if it's cancelled we'll eventually get to see it whether it's online or on some other channel in the next few years, lol. I forget what NBC did with that Obnoxious Boss show? I think that eventually aired somewhere after it was cancelled. I never got to finish seeing "No Boundaries" after the WB cancelled that. that was a Survivor type show.
