NUMBER CRUNCHING:
"What I Like About You" performed better without "Sabrina" as leadout -- something to think about when making those midseason tweaks. "Greetings from Tucson" matched last week's number for "Sabrina". "Reba" did typically well for its hour-long "Ring-a-Ding" third date show after last week's frankly aberrant numbers caused by the now-shelved "Do Over". With all the machinations of the schedule, the feeling is the WB would dearly love to keep "WILAY" on for another year, just to have two comedies to build on, as everything else seems to be paling number-wise and demo-wise.
    
Elsewhere, "Happy Gilmore" vastly improved the 8PM slot for Fox, with the big story being "Fastlane" brought in on January 10th to replace the stalled "Firefly".
