There is alot of news out there, but I haven't had much time this week to read much about it, so this is going to be a short news post! I'm sorry!

U.S.A. ratings: Ratings for Father's Day varied from last week-although the average household rating was slightly down (1.4 million), the average viewers held at 1.4 million viewers. Huh, how does that work? ;) Also-Doctor Who has had the second highest rating of SciFi shows for the past couple of weeks now. Sweet!

U.K. ratings: For those curious, according to Outpost Gallifrey, School Reunion was tied with Five's CSI: New York epsiode as having the highest AI rating (measures audience appreciation) at 85. This is the same rating that New Earth recieved two weeks ago, making these two episodes two of the five most popular since the return of the series. The repeat of School Reunion on BBC Three was the second placed program on Sunday.

The Doctor Who spinoff, Torchwood, started filming this week. Cool! I wonder what the likelihood of this being brought to American television will be. It sounds interesting-especially with all of the references to it in the second series. (see the Torchwood set report at Outpost Gallifrey for more details-don't worry, the spoiler guard is on. ;))

Fun and amusements: Every week, Scifi Wire has a poll-this week it's asking if you are going to see MI:III from J.J. Abrams this weekend-here are the selections:
-Yes! I love J.J!
-No! Tom Cruise is crazy!
-It Depends-is Greg Grunberg in it?
and finally:
-It depends-Is Doctor Who on?

Guess what-as of today, Doctor Who is second (with 35% of the vote) to No! (with 36% of the vote) LOL. That is so funny! ;)

Have a great weekend everybody!
