Well, I wasn't the only person who flat out hated NBC's "Quarterlife."
In addition to most of the major TV critics in the country also giving it a negative review, the viewers apparently listened to us. "Quarterlife" had the lowest ratings in that timeslot for NBC in nearly two decades, capturing about a third of "Law & Order's" audience.
"Quarterlife finished with a 1.3 rating - about 3.1 million viewers - in the 18-49 demographic.
NBC is sticking with the show at least one more week, and possibly more when it moves to its regular Sunday timeslot. If anybody cares.
AROUND THE DIAL: In a good news/bad news type of deal, "Dexter" showrunner Daniel Cerone is leaving the Showtime hit. But at least he is joining ABC's "Dirty Sexy Money." ... Gary Cole will join the cast of "Desperate Housewives" as Dana Delany's ex-husband. ...
THURSDAY'S BEST BETS: So, what did happen to the helicopter that carried Sayid and Desmond to the boat on "Lost?" (ABC, 9 p.m.) Tonight, we find out in this very Desmond-centric episode. For years, "Lost" fans have speculated about time travel being a part of the island's mystery, and there may be an element of that with the helicopter. It's followed by a new episode of the charming "Eli Stone" at 10 p.m.
"American Idol" (Fox, 8 p.m.) votes off another contestant, while on "Celebrity Apprentice" (NBC, 9 p.m.), Donald Trump merely fires them. That show is followed by a new "Lipstick Jungle" at 10 p.m.

Your continuing endorsements of both "Burn Notice" and "Dirty Sexy Money" are likely to lead me try both shows this Summer on DVD. "Burn" is already in my Netflix Que.
I am pleased to hear something like "Quarterlife" bombing. beyond the fact that it just sucks, but these shows with whiny 20-somethings, over inflating their self importance - I believe we already have enough of that garbage on cable with dreck like "The Hills".
Both Burn Notice and DSM are a lot of fun - much better than the likes of Quarterlife.
