Garfield is coming home to the Rocky Mountain News. By popular demand, the comic strip featuring the fat cat will reclaim a spot in the Rocky's lineup Monday. More than 2,000 readers wrote, e-mailed and called our comics hot line after the strip was dropped. Many Garfield fans told us that in these troubled times, they counted on the comic relief of their longtime favorite strip. To make room for Garfield, Over the Hedge is going away.

Four shows apparently were enough for CBS to discontinue The Ex List, an hourlong comedy about a woman searching for true love among her ex-boyfriends. Network officials said Monday that the show's Friday time slot will be filled this week by a rerun of NCIS. There was no comment from CBS on whether the freshman show, starring Elizabeth Reaser, might return. Last week's episode dropped about 1 million viewers from the previous week, bringing the total audience to less than 5.5 million.

Republican Bob Schaffer and Democrat Mark Udall will debate today in the final Colorado Decides series (6 p.m., CBS4). The debate will repeat that evening at 9 p.m. on KBDI-Channel 12.

The debate, hosted by CBS4 News Anchor Jim Benemann, will include Rocky Mountain News reporter Lynn Bartels, CBS4's Terry Jessup and KBDI's Eric Sondermann as interview panelists.

    The Denver comic readers are buffoons. Garfield is coming back? The comics section just took a giant step backward. Ugh.
