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, Medium, Ratings,
Attempts to give Bones more attention didn’t do much for either the show or the network. Despite decreased competition from CBS, the program pulled in smaller numbers than the normal slot holder. The series also declined from its last Thursday outing.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (20.7 million, 4.7/12 in 18-49) scooped up 1.2 million.
- Bones (8.4 million, 2.5/7) was down 3.4 million from House‘s numbers.
- The Big Bang Theory* (7.7 million, 2.8/8) gave up 2.4 million; How I Met Your Mother* (6.6 million, 2.7/7) lost 3 million.
- Chuck (6.1 million, 2.3/6) did about the same.
- Gossip Girl (1.2/3) returned to 2.4 million.

Monday Ratings: NBC Actually Improves
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,
Yes, yes - you heard me right: NBC showed signs of life yesterday. But let’s not get too excited now. It’s not like the network won anything. (The Peacock was still in fourth place.) It just didn’t suck as badly as it has been.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (19.1 million, 4.4/12 in 1849) stumbled by 500,000.
- House (11.8 million, 4.5/12) was down 1.2 million.
- The Big Bang Theory (10.1 million, 3.8/11) added on 1.2 million; How I Met Your Mother (9.6 million, 4.0/11) picked up 1.1 million.
- Chuck (6.2 million, 2.3/6) was up 200,000.
- Gossip Girl* (0.4/1) sat quietly in back with 990,000.

Monday Ratings: Suburbia Survives the Evening
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, House, Medium, Ratings,
Yesterday’s premiere of Surviving Suburbia did well despite NCAA competition. The program had the best numbers for a comedy debut since the opener of Samantha Who? in October 2007. (A Dancing with the Stars lead-in being the common denominator.)
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (19.6 million, 4.5/11 in 18-49) was down by 600,000.
- Approximately 13 million watched the shocker on House (5.0/13).
- The Big Bang Theory* (8.9 million, 3.2/9) gave up 900,000; How I Met Your Mother* (8.5 million, 3.3/9) lost 700,000.
- Chuck (6 million, 2.1/6) picked up 400,000.
- Gossip Girl* (1.1 million, 0.5/1) shrunk by 1.4 million.

Monday Ratings: FOX and ABC Divide the Night
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,
Despite all the 10’s issued on Dancing with the Stars last night, ABC narrowly lost the demos to FOX yesterday. Hot ballroom action did stir up the evening’s biggest audience though.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (20.2 million, 4.8/12 in 18-49) was even with last week.
- House (4.7/13) turned in 12.2 million.
- The Big Bang Theory (3.8/11) roped in 9.8 million; How I Met Your Mother (9.2 million, 3.9/10) improved by 1.8 million.
- Chuck (5.6 million, 2.0/6) slipped by 500,000.
- Gossip Girl (2.5 million, 1.2/3) rose by 300,000.

Monday Ratings: New Lows for Heroes, Medium
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,
If you thought a repeat of Two and a Half Men might help Heroes’ chances, you were wrong. Last night, the wilting NBC program once again saw its smallest audience to date. That poor performance led into a series low for Medium as well.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (20.2 million, 4.9/13 in 18-49) stumbled by 900,000.
- House* (7.7 million, 2.6/7) sent 5.1 million home.
- A How I Met Your Mother original (7.4 million, 2.9/8) didn’t do as well as The Big Bang Theory; a HIMYM repeat (2.6/7) turned in 6.9 million.
- Chuck (2.1/6) registered 6.1 million.
- Gossip Girl (2.2 million, 1.0/3) remained steady.

This Week on TV (3/23-3/29)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Food & Home, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Cable, FOX, MTV, NBC, The CW, American Idol, Family Guy, The Office,
(You can view TV Envy’s Midseason Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY (3/23)
- The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family, 8pm): “Amy gives birth to her son and has a difficult time adjusting to life as a mom.” Unfortunately for her, society is no longer interested in single mothers of one child.
- Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm): “Lily and Rufus make lists of their past lovers.” I think even Gossip Girl would qualify that as TMI.
- Animal Cops: Phoenix (Animal, 10pm): “A skunk gets trapped in an elevator shaft.” Well that stinks.
- Table for 12 (TLC, 10pm): Series premiere. “Betty Hayes, mother of three sets of multiples (twins, twins, sextuplets), is sent to the spa on her birthday, while the rest of the family plans a special celebration at home.” Great. More stuff for her to clean up later.

Monday Ratings: Castle Has Strong Second Outing

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.

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.

Monday Ratings: Rosy Evening for ABC
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Heroes, Medium, The Bachelor, Ratings,
Jason Mesnick’s shocking reveal might not have done much for his reputation, but it did plenty for ABC. Yesterday’s Bachelor episode saw its largest audience since 2003 (when Bob Guiney picked Estella Gardinier). The finale - coupled with the post-show special - also led ABC to an easy win last night.
8pm
- The Bachelor (5.4/13 in 18-49) was up 4.5 million from last week.
- A two-hour 24 event (3.3/8) averaged 11.1 million.
- The Big Bang Theory (3.9/10) returned to 10.9 million; How I Met Your Mother (4.2/10) rounded up 11.1 million.
- Chuck (6.6 million, 2.4/6) did about the same.
- Gossip Girl* (1.1 million, 0.5/1) remained steady.
