First Look: 90210 Introduces the Lesbian Kiss

90210 Jessica Lowndes and Rumer Willis Kiss

The CW may have had on hold for months now, but they’re ready to bring back the show with a bang.

Yes, girl-girl kissing is nothing we haven’t seen a thousand times by now. (How many years ago did The O.C. do that?) And yes, has already gone there this year (and it hasn’t exactly helped their ratings). And heck - it’s so fashionable even the ladies of the Desperate Housewives have tried it a few times.

But this particular smooch involves (you know, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis’ daughter), so it’s got to be considered a bit more interesting….right? Eh.

Tuesday Ratings: Loser’s a Winner for NBC

NBC easily outweighed the competition last night. Tuesday’s finale of The Biggest Loser tallied its best ratings since the fall 2005 ender. That meant a double-win for the network. Meanwhile, a new Disney creation was a bright spot for ABC yesterday.

Tuesday Ratings: ABC was the Forgotten

Last night’s presidential address did little for ABC but a lot for NBC. Yesterday’s episode of The Biggest Loser gave its network a win in the demos. (An absent Jay Leno also helped in that matter.) Meanwhile, a post-DWTS ABC placed fourth in both the viewers and the demos.

The Forgotten's Christian Slater8pm

  • The presidential address (1.9/6 in 18-49) pulled in 10.2 million for CBS.
  • NBC’s political coverage (2.1/6) raised 8.1 million.
  • Approximately 7.5 million watched President Obama on ABC (1.7/5).
  • FOX (1.8/5) catered to 4.6 million.
  • (1.1/3) settled for 2.2 million.

Tuesday Ratings: Heather Hardly Helps Melrose

Didn’t know Heather Locklear was moving back to Melrose Place? Apparently you weren’t the only who missed that invite. Locklear’s return to the famous address hardly raised an eyebrow last night. The CW program still pulled in under a 1.0 in the rating and trailed behind its lead-in.
