Seems Barbara Walters’ endless plugs on The View weren’t in vain. Yesterday’s exclusive interview with Patrick Swayze wound up being the night’s most-watched show. Unfortunately, CBS still managed to win the evening in both categories thanks to a stronger lineup.
8pm
- The New Adventures of Old Christine* (2.3/7 in 18-49) pulled in 8.2 million; Gary Unmarried* (2.3/6) turned in 7.4 million.
- A Bones* block (1.8/5) averaged 6.6 million.
- Knight Rider (1.6/5) drove in 5.7 million.
- Two Scrubs* repeats (1.6/4) scored 4.5 million.
- The premiere of 13: Fear is Real (1.1/3) scared up 2.4 million.

MONDAY 12/29)- Seven Deadly Sins (History, 9pm): “The sin of lust is examined in the opener of a seven-part series exploring the seven capital vices, including their origin in religious teaching and history’s worst perpetrators.” In case you needed some help thinking of a good resolution.

Wednesday Ratings: Pushing Daisies Clinging to Life
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, House, Ratings,
As hard as it is for me to admit, it looks like my darling Pushing Daisies will soon be pushed out the door. Despite an Obama bump for its last outing, the show couldn’t maintain the audience. Yesterday’s episode even performed lower than the last unassisted show. CBS had a good evening though. Season high numbers for the two comedies gave the network wins in both categories last night.
8pm
- Bones (10.7 million, 3.1/9 in 18-49) easily won its hour.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (2.5/7) and Gary Unmarried (2.7/7) both attracted 8.1 million.
- Knight Rider (5.1 million, 1.5/4) lost 200,000.
- Pushing Daisies (4.9 million, 1.7/5) was off 1.9 million from the last episode.
- The finale of America’s Next Top Model (4.8 million, 2.3/6) had it’s best audience in about a year.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, House, Ratings,
For the 2nd Wednesday in a row, ABC benefited from non-regular programming. Last week, the Alphabet network had a special episode of DWTS. This week, the CMAs were the one to thank. Yesterday’s broadcast of the 42nd annual event gave ABC wins in both the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- The 2008 CMAs (5.0/13 in 18-49) averaged 15.9 million over three hours.
- Bones (10.9 million, 3.5/9) was up 800,000.

- Knight Rider (5.3 million, 1.5/4) grew by 200,000.

Wednesday Ratings: Viewers Suffering from Post-Election Crash
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Dancing With The Stars, House, Ratings,
Voters tired of political ads - and television in general - took a rest from the boob tube last night. This meant lower numbers for most programs and a disappointing season debut for Law & Order. (The show had its worst Wednesday ever.) Thanks to a rare mid-week airing of DWTS, ABC was tops with the viewers yesterday. Meanwhile, the Alphabet network was also tied with FOX in the demos.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (15.6 million, 3.2/9 in 18-49) was the most-watched program last night.
- Bones (3.2/9) returned to 10.1 million.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (6.6 million, 1.9/5) fell by 1 million; Gary Unmarried (6.4 million, 2.1/6) retained most of its lead-in.
- Knight Rider (5.1 million, 1.6/4) made many question why it was given a full season order.
- America’s Next Top Model (3.9 million, 2.0/6) did the same as last week.

NBC Shuffles Programming Schedule
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, NBC, News,
Realizing the network has not been receiving the kind of attention it would like, NBC has already decided to change up its fall programming schedule. Starting next month, Wednesday nights will start to look a bit more like a page from CBS.
Although the show has already seen time slots on Mondays and Fridays, Life is now being given a third chance on hump days this season. As of November 5th, the sophomore series will be sandwiched in between airings of Knight Rider and the original Law & Order. This scheduling adjustment will give then NBC its very own crime-related evening.
