Monday Ratings: Obama Rules Over Primetime
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Heroes, Medium, Ratings,
As depressing as economy talk might be, President Obama had people listening. Last night’s news conference raked in approximately 49.5 million over eight networks. While it was clearly the biggest event of the evening, the presidential presser paled in comparison to Bill Clinton’s first newser in February 1993. (That primetime event drew in 64.3 million.) Although its news coverage came in second, CBS ended up winning the night in both categories.
8pm
- ABC‘s coverage of the Obama presser (3.1/8 in 18-49) pulled in 11.49 million.
- Approximately 9.78 million watched the conference on CBS (3.0/8).
- NBC had 9.75 million (3.1/8) listening about the economy.
- FOX attracted 5.9 million (2.2/6) for the newser.
- Gossip Girl* (1.7 million, 0.8/2) was down 600,000.

This Week on TV (2/9-2/15)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Animation, Comedy, Drama, Food & Home, Kids, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Bravo, Cable, CBS, FX, FOX, HBO, MTV, Amazing Race, The, American Idol, Lost, Nip/Tuck, Survivor,
(You can view TV Envy’s Midseason Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY 2/9)
NOTE: A President Obama press conference will interfere with the previously scheduled programming.
- The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family, 8pm): “Ben and Amy’s relationship hits a rough patch when Ben tells her he needs some space.” The pressure of buying a Valentine’s Day gift was just too much for him.
- One Way Out (Discovery, 9pm): “The host braves a high-speed barrage of tennis balls and steep plunges into kiddie pools before becoming the projectile in a human catapult.” Idiotic stunts have just become more financially appealing.
- The Girls of Hedsor Hall (MTV, 9pm): Series premiere. “In the opener, 12 rude and crude bad girls from the U.S. enroll in a British finishing school for a chance to transform their lives and win a $100,000 trust.” The goal? To become the next Amy Winehouse or Lily Allen.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “Horatio believes that prominent defense attorney (Sean Combs) is involved in the cover-up of a murder.” Diddy doesn’t cover-up murders. That’s what his personal assistants are for.

Monday Ratings: NBC Improves, But Not By Much
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Heroes, Medium, Ratings,
Sunday’s commercials may have paid off financially for NBC, but they didn’t help much with the ratings. Despite endless ads for Monday’s programs, the lineup only showed marginal improvement. By night’s end, CBS was on top with the viewers while FOX was first place in the demos.
8pm
- House (14.8 million, 5.5/13 in 18-49) had Monday’s best demos.
- The Bachelor (11 million, 4.1/10) wooed another 400,000.
- The Big Bang Theory (10.8 million, 4.1/10) added on 1.5 million; How I Met Your Mother (10.3 million, 4.2/10) scooped up 2.2 million.
- Chuck (8.4 million, 3.0/7) had its largest audience all season.
- Gossip Girl (2.3 million, 1.1/3) was up 700,000.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, House, Ratings,
Was it the CBS repeats? Or was it the sight of Jason Mesnick in scrubs? Whatever the reason, The Bachelor continued to pick up steam and reached a new high last night. Meanwhile, House - and FOX - had an easy night with the viewers and the demos.

Monday Ratings: House Stops CBS’ Dominance
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, House, Ratings,
A change of night didn’t keep viewers from getting their House fix. The show’s move to Monday not only weakened CBS’ comedy stronghold, it provided a nice lead-in for 24. The drama combo then gave FOX wins in both the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- House (14.9 million, 5.4/13 in 18-49) had its largest audience of the season.
- The Big Bang Theory (11.1 million, 4.0/10) lost 700,000; How I Met Your Mother (10.8 million, 4.5/11) gave up 1 million.

Monday Ratings: 24 Holds Its Ground
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Ratings,
Monday night was alright for Jack Bauer. Day 2 of the 24‘s two-part premiere did just as well as Day 1. The good news? The return of House will provide the series a nice lead-in next week. The bad news? The show will then go up directly against Two and a Half Men. (CBS’ strong lineup was the winner last night in both categories.)
8pm
- The 24 two-hour block (12.3 million, 4.1/10 in 18-49) was only off 200,000 from Sunday.
- The Big Bang Theory (4.4/11) and How I Met Your Mother (4.8/12) both attracted 11.8 million.
- The Bachelor (9.1 million, 3.2/8) lured in 400,000 more.
- Superstars of Dance (7.1 million, 4.1/10) fell by 2.4 million.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Ratings,
Despite two new ABC premieres, the first Monday of 2009 wasn’t an accurate picture of the weeks to come. In addition to a slate of repeats on CBS, the Fiesta Bowl was on. In fact, it’s that football game that helped give FOX a win in both the viewers and demos yesterday.
8pm
- Approximately 16.1 million (5.5/13 in 18-49) saw Texas beat Ohio State in FOX‘s Fiesta Bowl.
- Superstars of Dance (9.5 million, 2.7/7) was off 900,000 from its Sunday outing.
