Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Daytime, Drama, Kids, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, House, Ratings,
I have a feeling after last night’s great numbers, we’ll still be seeing Linus sitting in that pumpkin patch next year. Although FOX’s Tuesday lineup had the best demos, the classic Halloween special helped ABC attract the largest audience.
8pm
- Although it was slightly down from last week, NCIS (16.3 million, 3.3/9 in 18-49 demo) had the hour’s largest audience.
- It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (11.4 million, 3.8/11) easily outperformed the usual Cavemen/Carpoolers numbers.
- Bones (8.9 million, 3.2/9) took a backseat to Snoopy.
- The Biggest Loser (6.3 million, 2.8/7) and The Singing Bee (5.8 million, 1.7/5) both declined from last week.
- Beauty and the Geek (2.3 million, 1.1/3) was down almost a million.
9pm
- At 18.8 million, Dancing With The Stars (4.3/10 in 18-49 demo) had the hour’s largest audience.
- House (17.2 million, 7.0/17) still outperformed in the demos.
- The Unit (2.8/7) came in third with 8.1 million viewers.
- CW’s Reaper (2.5 million, 1.1/3) was about even with last week.
10pm
- Thanks to a repeat on NBC, Boston Legal (11.2 million, 3.0/8 in 18-49 demo) had the hour’s best audience.
- A repeat of Law and Order: SVU (8.7 million, 3.0/8) still came in second.
- Surprisingly, Cane (8.1 million, 2.0/5) held on steady from last Tuesday.

Dancing With The Stars: Week 6 Loser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Features,
Although Dancing With The Stars has proven to be quite unpredictable this whole season, the person ultimately axed off each week usually saw the writing on the wall. But tonight’s results show was probably the most anticipated to date; these final seven contestants really were the cream of the starting crop. There had never been a score lower than 21 seen in this whole bunch—so who would be demoted to this week’s Bottom Two? Would it be last night’s two lowest scorers, Jane Seymour and Marie Osmond?
Not even close.
Tonight, Cameron Mathison and Sabrina Bryan were given the unexpected jolts. Cameron had really been coming into his own over the last few weeks, but where were his devoted All My Children fans tonight? And Sabrina—there was never any doubt about her talent. Heck, she was the first person in this season’s roster to even get a perfect score!
But as we have learned from American Idol to So You Think You Can Dance, it doesn’t matter if you’re a Cheetah Girl—it all comes down to the votes.

- Chuck (7 million, 2.7/7) held steady from last Monday.
- A repeat of House (2.1/6) scored 5.8 million viewers.
- Everybody Hates Chris (2.5 million, 1.0/3) did about the same; Aliens in America (2.1 million, 0.8/2) was down about 240,000.
9pm
- Samantha Who? (15.4 million, 4.9/11 in 18-49 demo) has done a great job retaining it’s audience. It was even up 1 million from last week.

Dancing With The Stars: Week 6
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Editorial, Features,
Tonight the competitors had to perform two dances: a style they’ve never performed before and a group dance number. Read on to see how they fared:
SABRINA BRYAN (partner Mark Ballas)
(Dance: Foxtrot/ Song: ‘I’m a Woman’)
I think her hair’s been needing this updo; it brings a new level of maturity to her look. Although I believe she’s had a couple of missteps, she’s doing quite well. Her arms and lines look great and she’s really covering the floor. Although Len thought her performance was excellent, he felt she still needed a bit more contrast throughout her dance. He said it was too powerful. Bruno said she still needed to work on finessing her dance. He also noticed that her foot got caught. Carrie Ann disagreed with the two other men; she thought the dance was feisty and smooth. Score: 9/8/8 (25)
JENNIE GARTH (partner Derek Hough)
(Dance: Mambo/ Song: ‘Mambo Baby’)
She almost looks like a Chiquita girl; she’s very fun and flirty tonight. And I love all those tricks she and Derek have choregraphed into their dance! Bruno said she brought steam and heat to the floor. Carrie Ann thought she finally unveiled herself tonight and let it all hang out. Len said it was an exceptional performance. Score: 9/9/9 (27)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, House, Ratings,
With baseball out of the picture, Hugh Laurie was free to reclaim his reign over Wednesday night’s ratings.

- The Biggest Loser (6.9 million, 3.2/9) was up from last week; The Singing Bee (6.8 million, 2.3/7) did better than last week’s Dateline special.
- Both Cavemen (6.9 million, 2.2/6) and Carpoolers (7.1 million, 2.4/6) were about even from one week ago.
- Beauty and the Geek (3.2 million, 1.6/4) was slightly down.
9pm

- Dancing With The Stars (17.8 million, 4.4/11) came in a close 2nd with viewers.
- The Unit (10.9 million, 3.0/7) was down from last week as was Reaper (2.6 million, 1.2/3).
10pm

Dancing With The Stars: Week 5 Loser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
After weeks of occupying the low scorer’s bench, the Dallas Maverick’s owner was finally ejected from the dance floor tonight. As entertaining as Mark Cuban had been (especially in his ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ performance last night), his abilities were clearly lagging behind those of the remaining competitors. Fortunately, Cuban didn’t overstay his welcome and make things equally as awkward as last night’s show-stopper.
But who had the honor of warming the seat next to him? Was it wobbly Marie? Last week’s near-miss, Mel B? Or how about Helio, the dancer with the pained expression? No—it was Monday’s sexy siren, Jane Seymour. Although she scored higher than Garth, Osmond or Castroneves, Jane’s hot rumba apparently didn’t do much for the viewers at home. (Maybe Dancing With The Stars voters don’t like rooting for someone who’s all skin and bones.)
So now we’re down to the Final Seven: Jane, Melanie, Jennie, Marie, Sabrina, Helio and Cameron. All the obvious contenders have already been eliminated—so who do you think will occupy the Bottom Two next week?

Monday Ratings: Osmond Went Down, ‘Dancing’ Went Up
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, Prison Break, The Bachelor, Ratings,
Thanks to a baseball-less Monday on FOX (and a startling collapse on Dancing With the Stars), ABC easily took last night’s win.
8pm
- Dancing With the Stars (5.3/13 in 18-49 demo) drew 21.1 million viewers, up from 19.3 last Monday.
- How I Met Your Mother (8.6 million, 3.4/9) was up about 650,000 from last week; Big Bang Theory was up 550,000.
- Prison Break (7.4 million, 3.0/8) was about even with its last performance.
- Chuck (7.1 million, 2.8/7) lost approximately 1 million fans.
9pm
- In its second week, Samantha Who? (14.3 million, 4.6/10 in 18-49) remained strong compared to last week’s debut.
- Both Two and a Half Men (13.7 million, 4.8/11) and Rules of Engagement (10.8 million, 3.9/9) scored larger audiences than that NBC show.
- Heroes (10.7 million, 4.9/11), down another 560,000, barely eked out the hour’s largest demo (not including Dancing).
- K-Ville (6.1 million, 2.0/5) remained about even.

Dancing With The Stars: Week 5
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
It was Latin night on Dancing With The Stars this week, and as Tom Bergeron joked—there was very little fabric to be seen. Tonight the competitors had to perform either a sizzling Samba or a romantic Rumba. Read on to see how they fared:
MARIE OSMOND (partner Jonathan Roberts)
(Dance: Samba/ Song: ‘Crickets Sing for Anamaria’)
She looks like Charo in her short blue dress tonight (and that’s not a good thing). She’s also dancing very tentatively and looking weirdly off. NOTE: Anticipating Marie’s fall (read here for the details), I never really heard what Len said (though he never really got to finish before the collapse anyway). Score: 7/7/7 (21)
JANE SEYMOUR (partner Tony Dovolani)
(Dance: Rumba/ Song: ‘Breathe Again’)
It’s amazing how she can go from classy to sexy in just one week. And what a hot, red dress! Bruno complimented her lovely lines and shape. He even said she even looked like Edyta at times. Carrie Ann said Jane had a problem spotting her turns. Len said she brought romance and class to the floor. Score: 8/9/9 (26)

Marie Osmond Collapses on ‘Dancing With The Stars’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, News,
In tonight’s East Coast version of Dancing With The Stars, the viewers at home and in the ballroom witnessed a shocking moment. After performing her samba with partner Jonathan Roberts, competitor Marie Osmond fainted in front of a live audience. Later explaining that this sometimes happens when she gets winded, Osmond fell onto the floor while standing before the judges (luckily, Roberts was there to help break her fall).
The show immediately went to a commercial break while Marie was attended to by medics. Assuring them that she was fine, she and Jonathan later re-emerged to receive their final scores. (Read our later post about DWTS to get a breakdown of all the performances). It’s unclear at this time whether the West Coast broadcast will air the literal show-stopping moment.

‘Dancing With The Stars’ Deals With Another Family Emergency
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Gossip, News, Rumors,
According to E! Online, another Dancing With The Stars performer has had to make a last minute schedule change. Jennifer Lopez, who was to pretape a performance on Tuesday, had to step up her plans due to a ‘family emergency’. Instead of forcing the producers to find new talent, Lopez apparently recorded her song tonight.
This would be the second Tuesday in a row the DTWS results show had a singer deal with a family issue. Gloria Estefan canceled her performance last week because her mother suffered an intestinal rupture. Two weeks before that, Jane Seymour was absent due to the death of her mother. No further details were given regarding Jennifer Lopez’s situation.
