Thanks to ABC’s smart decision to can Opportunity Knocks, the network’s first two hours saw big improvements over last week. Unfortunately, its third hour (Eli Stone) didn’t benefit from the programming change. By night’s end, CBS was the winner with the viewers while FOX was tops with the demos.
8pm
- NCIS (17.1 million, 3.6/10 in 18-49) lost 800,000.
- House (12.9 million, 5.5/15) had the best demos of the night.
- A Dancing with the Stars* recap show (9.3 million, 2.0/6) did 4 million better than last week’s Knocks.
- The Biggest Loser: Families (7.3 million, 2.9/8) was down slightly.
- 90210* (1.4 million, 0.6/2) was down 400,000.

(You can view TV Envy’s Fall Television Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY (10/20)
- Prison Break (FOX, 9pm): “Roland seethes at the treatment he has gotten from the gang since he lost the transcribing device in Las Vegas.” Thanks to his fine work, this show has just been dragged out longer than it needed to be.
- Gossip Girl (CW, 9pm): “Vanessa blackmails Blair, so Blair retaliates by asking Chuck to seduce Vanessa.” Sounds like somebody’s got some cruel intentions...
- 17 Kids and Counting (TLC, 10pm): “A look at how the thrifty Duggars save money on their clothing, food and heating bills.” Thankfully, I don’t plan on shopping for a family of 17, so there’s a lot more for me.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “A murder occurs in a trendy fashion boutique and during the investigation Horatio realizes that Julia is becoming increasingly unstable and volatile.” Had he taken his glasses off, he could have seen this coming sooner.

Watch Katie Holmes Sing and Dance on Eli Stone
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Video,
We’ve seen the flippy hair and we’ve seen the cabaret-esque poses, but we really didn’t know what to expect from Katie Holmes’ Eli Stone number until now.
In the following clip, Holmes’ character interrupts Eli’s jog with her rendition of “Hit Me with a Hot Note.” Preview her performance and let us know what you think. Does the Mad Money star have a future in musicals ahead of her? Or should singing and dancing be left to Tom Cruise’s last wife?
Katie’s guest appearance on Eli Stone is scheduled to air on October 21.

MONDAY (10/13)
- Chuck (NBC, 8pm): “Sarah’s ex-flame and partner, Bryce Larkin, makes an unforeseen return and goes undercover with Sarah as an overly affectionate couple.” Unforeseen return? I predicted he would come back last year!
- Little People, Big World (TLC, 9pm): Season 5 premiere. “Matt travels to Baghdad to help dwarf children in need of medical attention.” By doing so, he has now milked new meaning out of the show’s title.
- Samantha Who? (ABC, 9:30pm): Season 2 premiere. “Sam teams with her mom in a dance competition against Regina’s nemesis (Cybill Shepherd) and her partner, who just happens to be a ringer.” Why do I always find myself rooting against Cybill Shepherd?
- My Own Worst Enemy (NBC, 10pm): Series premiere. “The implant in Henry Spivey’s brain that separates the two identities begins to malfunction, leaving each side fighting for dominance.” On one side, we have the Christian Slater who excelled in Heathers. On the other side, we have the Slater who stunk in Mobsters.

Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:
iCarly: American Idol finalist David Archuleta will be targeting the teen demos when he makes a stop on Nickelodeon. In the appearance, which will be taped this Thursday, the singer will play…himself. But there will be a twist. Instead of being known for his FOX show, Archuleta will be a contestant on a program called “America Sings.” This guest stint not-so-coincidentally comes around the time David’s first album drops. His self-titled debut hits stores on November 11.)

Preview Katie Holmes’ Musical Number on Eli Stone
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip,
Although Katie Holmes is currently in the middle of her Broadway debut in All My Sons, the new stage actress will be saving her singing and dancing for the small screen.
On the October 21 episode of Eli Stone, Holmes will be reteaming with exec producer Greg Berlanti (also a Dawson’s Creek vet) for quite an interesting challenge. In reality, she will be playing a non-profit lawyer. In someone’s fantasy, she’ll become…a cabaret singer? (You can see more pics from her cameo after the jump.)

CSI: NY: To celebrate its 100th outing, CSI: NY will be doing it old-school Terminator style.
