Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Drama, Kids, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, House, Ratings,
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 .

This Week on TV (11/24-11/30)

(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.

Wednesday Ratings: Pushing Daisies Clinging to Life
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, House, Ratings,
As hard as it is for me to admit, it looks like my darling Pushing Daisies will soon be pushed out the door. Despite an Obama bump for its last outing, the show couldn’t maintain the audience. Yesterday’s episode even performed lower than the last unassisted show. CBS had a good evening though. Season high numbers for the two comedies gave the network wins in both categories last night.
8pm
- Bones (10.7 million, 3.1/9 in 18-49) easily won its hour.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (2.5/7) and Gary Unmarried (2.7/7) both attracted 8.1 million.
- Knight Rider (5.1 million, 1.5/4) lost 200,000.
- Pushing Daisies (4.9 million, 1.7/5) was off 1.9 million from the last episode.
- The finale of America’s Next Top Model (4.8 million, 2.3/6) had it’s best audience in about a year.

For the 2nd Wednesday in a row, ABC benefited from non-regular programming. Last week, the Alphabet network had a special episode of DWTS. This week, the CMAs were the one to thank. Yesterday’s broadcast of the 42nd annual event gave ABC wins in both the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- The 2008 CMAs (5.0/13 in 18-49) averaged 15.9 million over three hours.

I just can’t wait to see what happens when American Idol finally comes around. Last night, NCIS - a show in its sixth season - had an evening to remember.

In just a few short months, the landscape on FOX will look quite a bit different. In addition to American Idol, the viewers will also see the long-awaited return of 24. (Jack Bauer has been MIA since May 2007.)
To make room for the network’s midseason additions, several programs will undergo adjustments to their current schedule. Here are a few of the programming notes:
- American Idol (which premieres on Jan. 13) will air at 8:00 on Tuesdays/Wednesdays.
- After a combined 4-hour debut on Jan 11 and 12th, 24 will settle in at 9:00 on Mondays. (24: Redemption - a two-hour movie that will bridge Seasons 6 and 7 - will air on November 23.)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Dancing With The Stars, House, Ratings,
Voters tired of political ads - and television in general - took a rest from the boob tube last night. This meant lower numbers for most programs and a disappointing season debut for Law & Order. (The show had its worst Wednesday ever.) Thanks to a rare mid-week airing of DWTS, ABC was tops with the viewers yesterday. Meanwhile, the Alphabet network was also tied with FOX in the demos.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (15.6 million, 3.2/9 in 18-49) was the most-watched program last night.
- Bones (3.2/9) returned to 10.1 million.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (6.6 million, 1.9/5) fell by 1 million; Gary Unmarried (6.4 million, 2.1/6) retained most of its lead-in.
- Knight Rider (5.1 million, 1.6/4) made many question why it was given a full season order.
- America’s Next Top Model (3.9 million, 2.0/6) did the same as last week.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Drama, Kids, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, House, Ratings,
Maybe CBS has a repeat of Fringe to thank? Whatever the reason, The Mentalist hit a season high last night with its sixth episode. The freshman series then helped out Without a Trace’s numbers. All this activity gave the the network its best Tuesday since December ‘07. Unfortunately, House‘s hot demos meant FOX still had the lead last night in the 18-49 group.
8pm
- NCIS (17.1 million, 3.4/9 in 18-49) did the same as last week.
- House (13.1 million, 5.3/14) killed in the demos.
- ABC‘s presentation of It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (3.4/9) had 10.4 million reminiscing.
- The Biggest Loser: Families (8 million, 3.1/9) packed on 700,000 more pounds.
- 90210 (1.6/4) returned to 3.2 million.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, House, Ratings,
Thanks to ABC’s smart decision to can Opportunity Knocks, the network’s first two hours saw big improvements over last week. Unfortunately, its third hour (Eli Stone) didn’t benefit from the programming change. By night’s end, CBS was the winner with the viewers while FOX was tops with the demos.
8pm
- NCIS (17.1 million, 3.6/10 in 18-49) lost 800,000.
- House (12.9 million, 5.5/15) had the best demos of the night.

- The Biggest Loser: Families (7.3 million, 2.9/8) was down slightly.
- 90210* (1.4 million, 0.6/2) was down 400,000.
