- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Special two-hour premiere. “The season begins with 13 new celebrities.” Any time a reference is made about Kim Kardashian’s butt or cut foot, take a drink.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): “Charlie runs into an ex-girlfriend whose son bears a striking resemblance to him.” As if Charlie Sheen really needed to get involved in another custody issue.
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): Special two-hour premiere. “Suresh makes an important breakthrough.” It’s taken him two seasons to realize how boring his character is.
- Worst Week (CBS, 9:30pm): Series premiere. “Disaster-prone Sam Briggs, and his girlfriend, Melanie, visit her parents – who don’t like Sam – to tell them that they are engaged and expecting a child.” It’s always good to get the disappointing news out all at once.

Wednesday Ratings: ANTM Hits New Low
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Ratings,
Unfortunately for CW, good luck did not come in threes. Despite impressive debuts for Gossip Girl and 90210, the 11th cycle of America’s Next Top Model failed to impress. (In the show’s defense, it was pitted against stiff competition.) ANTM‘s performance gave FOX the chance to take over in the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- America’s Got Talent (10.2 million, 2.7/7 in 18-49) was Wednesday’s most watched show.
- The two-hour premiere of Bones (9.7 million, 3.3/9) had the night’s best demos.
- Greatest American Dog (1.4/4) retrieved 4.9 million.
- Wife Swap* (3.7 million, 1.3/4) did slightly better than last week.
- America’s Next Top Model (3.5 million, 1.7/5) had its lowest premiere numbers to date.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, So You Think You Can Dance, Ratings,
Last night, Criminal Minds delivered impressive numbers despite being in repeats. Unfortunately, the drama couldn’t help CBS take down FOX. The first half of the SYTYCD finale gave its network wins in the demos and the viewers.
8pm

CBS’ decision to bring Greatest American Dog to Wednesdays didn’t do much for the network. That said, an early repeat of SYTYCD allowed CBS to take a rare win in the viewers. Meanwhile, the demos still belonged to FOX.

Viewers didn’t seem particularly interested about last night’s Celebrity Circus finale. They did, though, care about the Top Ten contestants on SYTYCD. The dancing competition once again helped FOX win both the demos and the viewers.
