Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, American Idol, Lost, Scrubs, Ratings,
As I predicted, Lost was not better off with Ted last night. Even though most shows saw decreases yesterday, the ABC series had its smallest audience to date.
8pm
- Lie to Me (10 million, 3.1/9 in 18-49) fell by 1.1 million.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (7.4 million, 2.1/7) and Gary Unmarried (7.6 million, 2.3/7) were both down slightly.
- Scrubs (5.8 million, 2.2/7) raised 2.2 million; Better Off Ted (2.2/6) premiered to 5.6 million.
- America’s Next Top Model (3.6 million, 1.6/5) gave up 900,000.

Despite a 15% drop in viewers from last week (was the holiday and/or country music to blame?), American Idol remained the most-watched show on Tuesday night.
8pm
- Approximately 21.5 million went walkin’ after midnight with American Idol (8.0/22 in 18-49).

Monday Ratings: Castle Has Strong Second Outing
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, House, Medium, Ratings,
While it’s doubtful Castle would be able to do this well without DWTS’ support, the series did show promise in its second week. The Nathan Fillion vehicle joined forces with the ballroom hit to give ABC another double win last night.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (21.1 million, 5.3/14 in 18-49) slipped by 1.4 million.
- House (12.8 million, 4.8/13) checked in 700,000 more.
- The Big Bang Theory (9.8 million, 3.7/11) was up 300,000; How I Met Your Mother (9.2 million, 3.8/10) grew by 700,000.
- Chuck* (3.9 million, 1.3/4) dropped 1.8 million.
- Gossip Girl (1.1/3) returned to 2.2 million.

Sunday Ratings: Kings is No Ratings Ruler
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Amazing Race, The, Apprentice, The - Donald, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings,
One of these evenings NBC will get it right. Just days after witnessing a painful debut by The Chopping Block, the network did it again. Yesterday’s premiere of Kings failed to deliver any power to the Sunday night lineup. CBS wound up winning the viewers while ABC topped the demos.
8pm
- The Amazing Race 14 (10.4 million, 3.0/8 in 18-49) picked up 200,000.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (9.5 million, 3.0/8) did the same as last week.
- The Simpsons (6 million, 2.8/8) remained steady.
- Kings (6 million, 1.6/4) had the lowest demo of any original last night.
- King of the Hill (5.4 million, 2.4/6) added on 500,000.
- CW’s broadcast of Moonstruck (0.2/1) attracted 1.2 million.

Friday Ratings: Signs of Life for Dollhouse, Terminator
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Everybody Hates Chris, Ratings,
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.

Thursday Ratings: ER Still Fourth Despite Clooney
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, ER, Grey’s Anatomy, My Name Is Earl, Survivor, The Office, Ratings,
George Clooney might be able to schedule meetings with high-ranking politicians, but he can’t save a whole network. Even though ER saw its best audience in two years, NBC only tied for third in the demos and placed fourth with the viewers last night. (The winner in both categories was CBS.)
8pm
- Survivor: Tocantins (12.9 million, 4.1/12 in 18-49) rounded up 900,000 more.
- Bones (2.8/8) returned to 9.6 million.
- Ugly Betty (7.2 million, 2.1/6) rose by 800,000.
- My Name is Earl* (4.4 million, 1.7/5) and the finale of Kath & Kim (4 million, 1.7/5) tied in the demos.
- Smallville (3.7 million, 1.6/5) added on 1.5 million.

Wednesday Ratings: Chopping Block Fails to Make the Cut
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, American Idol, Lost, Scrubs, Ratings,
Cooking-related shows may serve well for FOX and Bravo, but they do nothing for NBC. Last night’s premiere of The Chopping Block debuted to fewer viewers than Knight Rider‘s finale. (Ouch!) Meanwhile, Lie to Me performed better than expected in its new time slot. The freshman drama worked with American Idol to give FOX two easy victories.
8pm
- Lie to Me (11.1 million, 3.4/10 in 18-49) picked up 900,000.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (7.6 million, 2.1/6) added on 2.1 million; Gary Unmarried (7.7 million, 2.3/7) rose by 2.3 million.
- America’s Next Top Model (4.5 million, 1.9/6) improved by 600,000.
- The Chopping Block (1.4.4) premiered to 4 million.
- Scrubs* (1.2/3) pulled in 3.6 million.

Tuesday Ratings: Season High for SVU
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Daytime, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, American Idol, Scrubs, Ratings,
Finally a bit of good news for NBC. Even though the network faced another evening against American Idol, it did manage a second-place finish in the demos. Why? Nice returns for both The Biggest Loser and SVU. (The repeats on CBS also helped.)
8pm
- Approximately 25.2 million watched the Top 13 compete on American Idol (9.2/24 in 28-49).
- NCIS* (13.3 million, 2.7/8) lost 400,000.
- The Biggest Loser: Couples (9.3 million, 3.8/10) piled on 300,000.
- Homeland Security USA (5.1 million, 1.4/4) gave up 600,000.
- Reaper (2.2 million, 0.8/2) slid by 200,000.

Monday Ratings: DWTS Has Best Premiere Yet
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, House, Medium, Ratings,
Jewel and Nancy O’Dell’s loss was Dancing with the Stars’ gain. Despite being in its 8th season, the program saw its largest premiere audience to date. (I think we can safely attribute that to the Melissa Rycroft factor.) The reality show’s return easily gave ABC wins in both the viewers and the demos last night.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (22.5 million, 5.9/15 in 18-49) had its second best premiere demo so far.
- House (12.1 million, 4.8/13) took a 2.5 million hit.
- The Big Bang Theory (9.5 million, 3.6/10) lost 1.4 million; How I Met Your Mother (8.5 million, 3.5/9) gave up 2.6 million.
- Chuck (5.7 million, 2.0/5) had its smallest audience ever.
- Gossip Girl* (1.2 million, 0.5/1) did about the same.

Sunday Ratings: Celebrity Apprentice Pales Against Housewives
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Amazing Race, The, Apprentice, The - Donald, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Saturday Night Live, Ratings,
Looks like the economy isn’t the only thing Donald Trump should be worrying about. Despite a solid debut, The Celebrity Apprentice was served a cold dose of reality this week. When pitted against Sunday night regulars (Desperate Housewives, Cold Case), the reality hit showed signs of weakening. NBC’s performance helped CBS win the viewers while ABC took the demos.
8pm
- The Amazing Race (10.2 million, 3.0/8 in 18-49) lost 600,000 at the pit stop.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (9.5 million, 2.9/8) slipped by 1.5 million.
- A Saturday Night Live special (2.1/6) and The Simpsons (2.8/8) both pulled in 6 million.
- King of the Hill (4.9 million, 2.4/6) gave up 1.8 million.
- CW’s broadcast of Easy Money (0.2/0) registered 900,000.
