Good news/bad news for the debut week of "TMZ": "The good news: More viewers watched the half-hour than any other new five-a-weeker. The bad: 'TMZ' was down 25% from the year-ago time period and down 17% from its lead-in." Analysts caution that it's too early to make any judgment based on these numbers: "[W]hen daylight saving time ends on Nov. 4, and it gets dark earlier, more people will head indoors to watch TV." Also, people are only getting stupider, so that should help. [Variety]
