Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Comedy, Drama, Games, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Everybody Hates Chris, Medium, Prison Break, Ratings,
It looks like the novelty of FOX’s Terminator may be starting to wear off. For the second week in a row, it was brought down by NBC’s reality lineup.
8pm
- American Gladiators (4.3/10 in 18-49) challenged 10.1 million hopefuls.
- Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann (9.8 million, 2.6/6) turned out a pretty decent performance.
- Prison Break (7.8 million, 3.1/8) was steady with last week.
- How I Met Your Mother* (7.1 million, 2.5/6) and The Big Bang Theory* (7.8 million, 2.9/7) were both slightly down.
- About 300,000 loved Everybody Hates Chris* (2.32 million, 0.9/2) more than last Monday; Aliens in America* (1.4 million, 0.5/1) saw a slight bump as well.

Monday Ratings: Howie Mandle Takes on the ‘Terminator’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Comedy, Drama, Games, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Everybody Hates Chris, Medium, Prison Break, Ratings,
It was highly doubtful that Terminator could maintain its monster-sized numbers from Sunday, but I don’t know if many expected what happened last night. It wasn’t a group of Gladiators that brought the show down to size, but rather a comedian and his bevy of suitcase-toting ladies.
8pm
- American Gladiators (4.6/12 in 18-49) muscled in 10.7 million.
- Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann (10.5 million, 2.9/7) came in a close second.
- The Big Bang Theory* (8.2 million, 3.2/8) was up almost 2 million from last week; How I Met Your Mother* (7.3 million, 2.7/7) saw a 1 million bump.
- A new Prison Break (7.9 million, 3.3/8) gained about 700,000 from its last episode.
- About 2 million were lovin’ Everybody Hates Chris* (0.9/2); Aliens in America* (1.31, 0.5/1) didn’t fare as well.
9pm
- Deal or No Deal (15 million, 5.0/12 in 18-49) was the biggest show of the evening.
- Even Two and a Half Men* (11.5 million, 3.8/9) outperformed the futuristic robots.
- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (10.1 million, 4.2/10) saw a 45% decline from Sunday’s audience.
- The Rules of Engagement* (8.5 million, 2.7/6) was slightly up from last week.
- Notes from the Underbelly (4.8 million, 1.7/4) didn’t deliver spectacular news.
- Both Girlfriends* (1.32 million, 0.6/1) and The Game* (1.62 million, 0.7/2) remained fairly steady.
10pm
- About 14.7 million watched David Caruso and the showgirl on CSI: Miami (4.2/11 in 18-49).
- Medium (9.5 million, 3.3/9) was basically even with last Monday.
- About 4.9 million traveled down October Road (2.0/5).

(You can view the whole Revamped TV Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY (1/14)
- Prison Break (FOX, 8pm): Season resumes. “Michael suffers the consequences of solitary confinement, Sona-style.” I hate to think we left him in there these past few months.
- Kyle XY (ABC Family, 8pm): Second season resumes. “Kyle returns to the Tragers to tell them truth about his existence.” Maybe ABC should consider stealing this show to fill their schedule. Otherwise, I’ll never get around to watching it.
- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (FOX, 9pm): Regular day and time. “John grows restless and sneaks out of the house to track down Charley Dixon.” Maybe they should have recast Edward Furlong. He would have filled this punk role perfectly.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): Actress Elizabeth Berkeley guest-stars as Horatio’s ex and Kyle’s mother. Wouldn’t it have made more sense if she was on the regular CSI? Then they could have linked it back to her Showgirls years.
