  Scandal hasn't helped or hurt Letterman
Ratings shot up the Monday after his on-air confession but have since settled back, but he's still way up from last season

  For ABC's 'GMA,' better safe than sorry
George Stephanopoulos is most likely set to take Diane Sawyer's place, and it's a move that makes sense in a lot of ways

  For 'Days of our Lives,' a heartening turn
Ratings are up smartly for the long-running NBC soap when all others are down, and this could save the show. But will it?

  Letterman tops O'Brien in adults 18-49
In a major win, CBS's 'Late Show' averages a 1.3 to a 1.0 for NBC's 'Tonight' for the week, boosted by an Obama visit (charts)

  Sockeroo premiere week for 'Dr. Oz'
Averages a 2.3 household rating, tying 'Rachael Ray' debut and behind only 'Dr. Phil' as best daytime talk debut in seven years

  As the light goes dark, a last drama
'Guiding Light' is ending, the longest-running series ever, but there remains one storyline that's unresolved: Will they kiss?

  In death, Jacko was a morning story
Network morning shows gave Jackson the most play, nearly a third of their coverage, well ahead of cable. It paid off in ratings.

  The Conan numbers story: Not so good
NBC has been touting O'Brien's strength in 18-49s, but that lead is fading as 'Tonight' and 'Letterman' duke it out (charts)

  For Joe College, a 'Family Guy' summer
Among adults 18-24, syndicated comedies are No. 1, and the tops are reruns of the Fox series. No. 2: 'King of the Hill.' (charts)

  Dud debut for talker 'Wendy Williams'
Lots of pre-launch hype but early ratings are in the toilet for most markets outside host Williams' home base of New York
