After weeks of steady declines, FOX’s Friday night lineup did something unusual: it improved. Terminator and Dollhouse‘s increases gave the network a slightly less embarrassing 4th place finish.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer (11.1 million, 2.6/9 in 18-49) remained even.
- Wife Swap (4.5 million, 1.4/5) picked up 300,000.
- Howie Do It (4.3 million, 1.3/5) was up a few notches.
- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (3.5 million, 1.2/4) grew by a 1/2 million.
- Everybody Hates Chris (0.7/2) turned in 1.8 million; The Game (0.8/3) dialed up 2.1 million.

This Week on TV (3/9-3/15)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Food & Home, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Bravo, Cable, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, TNT-HD, America’s Next Top Model, Apprentice, The - Donald, Dancing With The Stars, Everybody Hates Chris, Family Guy,
(You can view TV Envy’s Midseason Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY 3/9)
- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Season premiere. “This season, a new feature in the early weeks is a dance-off between the bottom two couples facing elimination.” Steve Wozniak + moon walk = elimination-proof.
- The Big Bang Theory (CBS, 8pm): “The guys’ trip to San Francisco takes a detour once they learn that actress Summer Glau (appearing as herself) is on their train.” If you don’t already know who Summer Glau is, you probably shouldn’t be watching this show.
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30pm): “Ted reunites with his college girlfriend (Laura Prepon), prompting Lily and Marshall to reveal how much they loathed the snooty woman.” From what I recall, one can easily bond with Prepon over a quick smoke break.
- Castle (ABC, 10pm): Series premiere. “Well-known mystery writer Richard Castle is questioned by a fiery detective about a serial killer reenacting murders from his books.” Kinda sounds like Basic Instinct, sans a naked Michael Douglas. Or Sharon Stone. Or Jeanne Tripplehorn.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Everybody Hates Chris, Ratings,
Although FOX had the perfect opportunity to exploit CBS’ repeat-filled evening, the network came in a disappointing fourth with the viewers. Terminator‘s even performance was unfortunately offset by Dollhouse‘s second week decline.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer* (8.4 million, 1.9/6 in 18-49) had the night’s biggest audience.
- Wife Swap* (4.1 million, 1.4/4) traded in 200,000.
- Howie Do It (3.9 million, 1.1/4) did the same as last week.
- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (3.8 million, 1.3/5) improved by 100,000.
- Everybody Hates Chris (1.4 million, 0.5/2) remained steady; The Game (1.2 million, 0.5/2) was down 300,000.

Friday Ratings: Mediocre Debut for Dollhouse
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Everybody Hates Chris, Ratings,
Back-to-back shows about strong, good-looking women wasn’t quite enough for FOX Friday. Terminator took a major hit in its new time slot while Eliza Dushku was bested by the Supernanny. In other news, Diane Sawyer’s Appalachian Mountains special gave ABC a rare win in the demos, though CBS was still tops with the viewers.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer (10.3 million, 2.4/8 in 18-49) was off by 1.1 million.
- Wife Swap (4.3 million, 1.5/5) was down 800,000.
- Howie Do It (3.9 million, 1.2/4) lost 500,000.
- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (3.7 million, 1.3/5) plunged 30% from its last Monday outing.
- Everybody Hates Chris (1.4 million, 0.5/2) remained steady; The Game (1.5 million, 0.6/2) picked up 300,000.

Friday Ratings: ABC Forces a Tie with CBS
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Everybody Hates Chris, House, Ratings,
Okay, so CBS was only airing reruns. And ABC only tied in the demos. (CBS was alone with the viewers.) But when was the last time you could remember any other network making a showing on Fridays?

You gotta hand it to Jennifer Love Hewitt. Personal troubles won’t keep that girl down. Ghost Whisperer‘s numbers helped give CBS a double-win on Friday night.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer (11.3 million, 2.8/9 in 18-49) had the evening’s best numbers.

Friday Ratings: Friday Night Lights Scores Higher Than Lipstick Jungle
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Games, Kids, Music, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Everybody Hates Chris, Ratings,
There was a little bit of good news and bad news for NBC this weekend. Although the network saw smaller numbers for Howie Do It‘s second outing, the return of Friday Night Lights did better than the previous time slot holder (Lipstick Jungle). Unfortunately CBS’ dominant lineup made any improvements seem laughable.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer (10.5 million, 2.5/8 in18-49) had the night’s best demos.
- Howie Do It (6.1 million, 2.8/6) was down 21% from last week.
- Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? (1.1/4) registered 5.6 million.
- Wife Swap (4.8 million, 1.7/5) remained steady.
- Everybody Hates Chris (1.6 million, 0.6/2) was up about 200,000; The Game (1.7 million, 0.8/2) added on 300,000.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Everybody Hates Chris, Ratings,
This weekend’s premiere of Flashpoint made CBS’ Friday night lineup that much stronger. The series - with the help of Ghost Whisperer - returned to its largest audience yet. Meanwhile, the debut of Howie Do It did better than the group of ladies following it.
