I always knew one day I'd be described like that...I'd just assumed it would be by a woman

...buoyed by Damian Lewis’s breakout performance as the fruit-loving, Zenned-out Crews, which is already garnering Emmy buzz, ["Life"] has gained a small but very loyal following even as its highly touted 9 p.m. lead-in, “Bionic Woman,” falls to staggeringly low levels.

“Life” is averaging a 3.0 adults 18-49 rating and the past two weeks has maintained or slightly built on its “Bionic” lead-in in that demo and total viewers. The show also leads its timeslot among men 18-34, an elusive target on broadcast, and could be a smart replacement for Monday’s struggling “Journeyman” when the writers’ strike ends and new episodes begin airing next spring.
