Although Wednesdays typically favor either CBS or FOX, a heated ballroom competition was last night’s top draw. Despite a 17% drop in viewers from last November’s finale, DWTS did just enough to help ABC win both categories yesterday.
8pm
- NCIS (18.2 million, 3.6/10 in 18-49) was up 200,000.
- House (12.5 million, 5.0/14) fell by a 1/2 million.
- The Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special (3.4/9) served up 11.1 million.
- The Biggest Loser: Families (6.8 million, 2.6/6) dropped 1 million pounds.
- CW‘s airing of How to Deal (0.4/1) averaged 883,000 .

(You can view TV Envy’s Television Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY (11/24)- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): After ten weeks, it all ends tonight. Sadly, I can’t even remember the names of the first two eliminated.
- Samantha Who? (ABC, 9:30): “Sam invites boyfriend Owen (James Tupper) for dinner to meet her parents, but Owen and Howard don’t hit it off.” Seems Howard doesn’t approve of his relationship with Anne Heche either.
- Valkyrie: The Plot to Kill Hitler (History, 10pm): “Recalling Operation Valkyrie, a failed plot devised by German officers to assassinate Adolf Hitler.” By choosing this documentary over the Tom Cruise version, you’ll be able to save a few more bucks for Christmas.
- The Hills (MTV, 10pm): “Audrina confronts Lauren and Justin after rumors circulate that the two hooked up.” By “confront,” we mean Audrina has them refer to the television interviews she’s conducted on the topic.

South Park’s Last Hurrah: A Big Screen Sequel
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Cable, Gossip,
When Trey Parker and Matt Stone decide to pull the plug on South Park, they won’t quietly fade from the scene with a single half-hour TV stint. These two comedy masters will say good-bye in a way the fans can appreciate (and spend a lot more money on): with another big-screen version of the show.
Don’t worry, avid Park fans, the show isn’t scheduling to end itself anytime soon. Parker and Stone are signed on with Comedy Central until 2011, at which time they may or may not decide to renew their contract.
“We talked about maybe some day doing a movie to sort of end it all, and that seems like the best idea,” said Parker to the press recently. “That’s been a big thought, to do the last show as a movie.”

Nearly two weeks after the election, President-elect Barack Obama is still drawing record numbers. Last night’s interview on 60 Minutes attracted approximately 24.5 million, the show’s best numbers in 9 years. This performance helped CBS win the night with the viewers, though it wasn’t enough to take the demos from NBC.

- The Amazing Race (12.3 million, 3.4/8) was off by 1.8 million.

South Park Mocks Obama, McCain and the Voters
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Video,
Apparently the news outlets weren’t the only ones hard at work on Election Day.
In less than 24 hours, co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone managed to craft a fresh new episode of South Park. While its possible some segments were prepared ahead of time, other details in the program - the acceptance/concession speeches, the candidates’ clothing, the street parties - were obviously produced after the fact.
You can watch three more clips from last night’s show after the jump.

FOX Changing Sunday Lineup
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, FOX, Cancellations, Gossip,
King of the Hill is reaching the end of its road on FOX, though the show has long been one of the anchors of its Sunday night, animated-series heavy lineup. Currently in its 13th season, final episodes of the series are expected to air next year.
Created by Beavis and Butthead mastermind Mike Judge, King details the life of Hank Hill, wife Peggy and son Bobby - and a cast of characters that represent the best and worst of Texas living. The Emmy-award winning show is likely being dropped for the new Family Guy spin-off The Cleveland Show, expected to air during the 2009 season.
American Dad, which runs after Family Guy at the bottom of the 9 pm hour, will be renewed for a fifth year on the network.
