They love Chris. Joey? Not so much.

I loved Everybody Hates Chris, and apparently I wasn't the only one with love for Hate, because more folks tuned into see the first episode of the series based on Chris Rock's childhood than tuned in to see Joey, which isn't based on Chris Rock's childhood. Yes, a UPN show actually got more viewers than an NBC show. That's pretty freakin' impressive, Mabel. Let's just hope the creators don't get caught up in all the hype and continue to make a good show.
