'SAMANTHA WHO?' Christina Applegate's ABC amnesia sitcom was the top-rated new scripted series.

'UGLY BETTY' ABC's Thursday nights took a big hit: 'Betty' lost 18 percent of its audience, while lead-out 'Grey's Anatomy' shed one-fifth of its viewers.
'GOSSIP GIRL' Though you may have heard that DVR viewers pump up The CW soap's ratings, the net's 'One Tree Hill' and 'Beauty and the Geek' nabbed even more recorders.
