Overnight TV Ratings -- "The OC" ODs

Too much of a bad thing? I've stopped watching "The OC" -- it just isn't as much fun without being able to rewind and savor Mischa Barton's Kabuki-girl acting style. And while I pile on "Lost" and discuss how it's lost more viewers than any returning ABC show and I insist the long break is going to hurt it, I should keep in mind that it's still a Top 10 show. Mind you, I'd hate to see what would have happened if its lead-in had not been the exploding-in-popularity "Dancing With The Stars." And there's no denying "Criminal Minds" is beating "Lost" and practically doubling its lead-in (179% to be exact) while "Lost" is losing 17%. For complete ratings, go to MediaWeek's Marc Berman.
