MONDAY (3/31)
- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): The top 10 dancers take the floor tonight. If Marlee Matlin also manages to master the fast jive, she’ll have my votes from this point out.
- The Big Bang Theory (CBS, 8pm): “Sheldon gets sick, but the guys refuse to take care of him because he’s such a bad patient.” So is there such thing as a good male patient?
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30): “Barney tries to find the mystery woman who’s out to ruin his reputation, and he uses the basketball tournament-bracket template to eliminate 64 suspects.” Okay - if CBS can’t get around to finally renewing this series, I will give them 64 reasons why I hate them.
- New Amsterdam (FOX, 9pm): “When a murder victim in Chinatown murder reminds John of a son he lost in the early 20th century, the investigation leads to a ruthless crime family who are related to his offspring.” And I thought Terminator‘s storyline was trippy.

Although American Idol was slightly down from last week, the network basically doubled its nearest competitor - ABC - with both the viewers and the demos.

- NCIS* (9.4 million, 1.9/5) trimmed off 1.1 million.
- The Biggest Loser (7.9 million, 3.1/8) didn’t lose a pound.
- Beauty and the Geek (1.6 million, 0.7/2) was about even with last week.

Dancing with the Stars 6: Week 2 Losers
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Editorial, Features,
Without a token model to cast off this time around, the viewers of Dancing with the Stars: Season 6 ultimately based their first set of votes on sheer ability.
For the show’s first double-elimination, there were little surprises to be had. After Monday’s numbers were combined with last week’s scores, magician Penn Jillette and tennis star Monica Seles both found themselves one foot out the door. (Their grand totals of 33 and 30, respectively, were the lowest of the competition.) Tonight, the fans gently pushed them the rest of the way out.
At this stage last fall, Josie Maran and Albert Reed were the first two to be let go. The real shockers didn’t start developing until several weeks in. Could we eventually see a Sabrina Bryan-esque elimination this season? If so - when do you think it will happen? Place your bets now!

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Kids, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, House, Medium, The Bachelor, Ratings,
Last night, How I Met Your Mother‘s casting experiment paid off nicely for the comedy. The show - which is not yet on the network’s renewal list - earned its best demo performance ever. By night’s end, CBS was tops in the 18-49 group while ABC was #1 in total viewers.
8pm
- Week 2 of Dancing with the Stars (20.5 million, 5.0/13 in 18-49) was the evening’s most-watched program.
- Approximately 10.6 million watched Britney Spears’ cameo on How I Met Your Mother (4.5/12).
- The Big Bang Theory (8.6 million, 3.4/10) was down a half million from last week.
- A House* repeat (7.6 million, 2.7/7) fared better than the replaced Canterbury’s Law.
- My Dad is Better Than Your Dad (4.2 million, 1.2/3) continues to die a slow death.
- Gossip Girl* (1.1 million, 0.5/1) was off just a tad.

Dancing with the Stars 6: Week 2
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Editorial, Features,
The division of the sexes formally ended on tonight’s Dancing with the Stars: Season 6. All twelves couples gathered for their last chance to dazzle the viewers before Tuesday’s dreaded double-elimination.
Last week, Adam Carolla and Monica Seles scraped the bottom of the scoring barrel (15 points each) while Mario and Kristi Yamaguchi (24 and 27 points, respectively) made it known they were the ones to look out for. How did the celebrities fare with Monday’s dances? Did they do anything in their second outing to change their standing in the competition?

MONDAY (3/24)
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30): The overly-promoted Britney Spears cameo finally airs tonight. Let’s just be happy the show is only 30-minutes long.
- Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious (CW, 9pm): Nicole Scherzinger gives the girls tips on vocal expression. Sadly, advice on releasing solo albums is not something she can dish out.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): New episode. “A bride is murdered at her wedding. The investigation takes the CSIs to a strip club where the bachelor party took place.” Strip club? This would be the perfect time for another Elizabeth Berkley appearance.
- The Hills (MTV, 10pm): Season premiere. I wonder if LC wore any of her own designs in Paris. Doubt it.

Tuesday Ratings: Idol Clashes with DWTS
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Kids, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, Ratings,
Despite its dominance on Monday, DWTS couldn’t outperform the crew at American Idol. The 9pm overlap flattened the ballroom champ and put ABC in second place for the night.
8pm
- American Idol (10.3/25 in 18-49) averaged 27 million over two hours.
- NCIS* (10.5 million, 2.0/5) was up nearly 2 million from last week.
- The Biggest Loser (7.9 million, 3.1/8) was about even with its last numbers.
- It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown (6.3 million, 1.9/5) got us into the holiday spirit
- Just for Laughs (5.1 million, 1.6/4) had a small increase.
- Beauty and the Geek (1.7 million, 0.7/2) saw signs of fading.

For the first time in quite a while, it appears we may have had more original episodes on TV last night than repeats. Although CBS’ comedy lineup saw strong numbers, it couldn’t outmatch the debut of Dancing with the Stars. ABC ended up winning the evening in the viewers and demos.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (5.5/15 in 18-49) waltzed its way to 20.9 million.
- The Big Bang Theory (3.7/11) kicked off the evening with 9.1 million; How I Met Your Mother (9.7 million, 4.3/11) soared by 3 million from last week.
- Canterbury’s Law (5.7 million, 1.7/5) dropped by nearly 2 million.
- My Dad is Better Than Your Dad (4.7 million, 1.5/4) shrunk by 2.2 million.
- Gossip Girl* (1.3 million, 0.6/2) was actually up by 100,000.

Dancing with the Stars 6: The Men Debut
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Editorial, Features,
Dancing with the Stars: Season 6 kicked off tonight with another interesting range of participants. This time around we had a football player, an R&B artist, a magician, a radio DJ and two actors.
For the show’s first week, the men had Monday night to themselves. (The ladies will take their floor tomorrow.) This will all lead to the very first double-elimination next week (one man, one woman) after all 12 couples get another chance to perform.
So how did the six new gentlemen stack up? Read on!
