- Rules of Engagement (11.2 million, 4.2/9) was up 400,000 from last Monday.

Thanks to a baseball-less Monday on FOX (and a startling collapse on Dancing With the Stars), ABC easily took last night’s win.

- 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.

Monday’s competition saw the introduction of a new show (Samantha Who?) and the sports-related interruption of a few others (Prison Break, K-Ville). By night’s end, it was a one-two finish for ABC and CBS.
8pm

9pm
- Samantha Who? (14.3 million, 4.4/10 in 18-49) kept a large part of the DWTS audience.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, Everybody Hates Chris, Heroes, Prison Break, The Bachelor, Ratings,
It’s unclear how some of these programs would have fared without stiff competition from Monday Night Football and the Yankees/Indians game. Regardless, it’s not surprising that to report that ABC easily danced away with another ratings victory (followed by CBS, NBC, FOX and CW).

- Everybody Hates Chris (2.6 million, 1.1/3) was up slightly while Aliens in America (2.1 million, 0.8/2) dropped 230,000 from its premiere.
9pm
- Heroes (10.7 million, 5.0/11) was down 24% from its premiere but still pulled the hour’s win in the 18-49 age group.

David Spade Gives Back
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Cable, Saturday Night Live, Gossip, Rumors,
For those of you who thought David Spade was as twerpy as some of the characters he plays… think again. The acerbic funnyman felt a twinge on his sensitivity meter when he heard about a fallen police officer in Phoenix. As a result, Spade donated $25,000 to the family of Officer Nick Erfle. Erfle had returned to the force after overcoming cancer, only to be shot in the line of fire. Spade is from Arizona and felt a hometown connection, saying, “It just struck me as such a rough situation just because cops in general get kind of a bad rap lately and people forget it is the scariest job out there.” Who knew David Spade had such a big heart? I’ve been a fan of Spade since SNL and his films with the late Chris Farley (c’mon, have some love for Tommy Boy!)… and while I’m not so excited about Rules of Engagement, I do love The Showbiz Show.

The 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards Coverage

The 59th Annual Emmy Awards has not even started, yet I’m already sensing sensing a weird vibe about tonight’s telecast. Will the show be a celebration of those young and new (e.g. Heroes)? Will it be a tribute to those bowing out (James Gandolfini and crew)? Or will performer Kanye West somehow manage to cast a controversial shadow over the rest of the ceremony?
What a difference a year makes. Twelve months ago, we were still handing out trophies to stars from Will & Grace and The West Wing (those shows feel so five-years ago now). Today, we welcome a new crop of nominees including Ugly Betty and 30 Rock for Best Comedy. Last year, we were entertained by an always-hilarious Conan O’Brien. This year, we are threatened by a song and dance number from this year’s host, Ryan Seacrest. Last August, 24 snagged the award for Best Drama. This September, it’s not even nominated (yet somehow Boston Legal is).
I think it would be safe to assume the voters would predictably (and respectfully) shower The Sopranos with honors, but I’ll still be crossing my fingers for an upset sometime tonight. We’ll need something to talk about tomorrow…
Here’s the play-by-play of tonight’s events coming to you from the neglected West Coast!
