- Bones (10.2 million, 3.0/9 in 18-49) raised 600,000.
- CBS’ NCAA basketball coverage (3.5/10) scored 9.4 million.
- Ugly Betty (7.6 million, 2.1/6) picked up 400,000.
- My Name is Earl (6.4 million, 2.4/8) improved by 2 million; a repeat of The Office (4.6 million, 2.0/6) did better than the Kath finale.
- Smallville (3.3 million. 1.4/4) lost 400,000.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, ER, Grey’s Anatomy, My Name Is Earl, Survivor, The Office, Ratings,
George Clooney might be able to schedule meetings with high-ranking politicians, but he can’t save a whole network. Even though ER saw its best audience in two years, NBC only tied for third in the demos and placed fourth with the viewers last night. (The winner in both categories was CBS.)
8pm
- Survivor: Tocantins (12.9 million, 4.1/12 in 18-49) rounded up 900,000 more.
- Bones (2.8/8) returned to 9.6 million.
- Ugly Betty (7.2 million, 2.1/6) rose by 800,000.
- My Name is Earl* (4.4 million, 1.7/5) and the finale of Kath & Kim (4 million, 1.7/5) tied in the demos.
- Smallville (3.7 million, 1.6/5) added on 1.5 million.

This Week on TV (3/9-3/15)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Food & Home, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Bravo, Cable, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, TNT-HD, America’s Next Top Model, Apprentice, The - Donald, Dancing With The Stars, Everybody Hates Chris, Family Guy,
(You can view TV Envy’s Midseason Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY 3/9)
- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Season premiere. “This season, a new feature in the early weeks is a dance-off between the bottom two couples facing elimination.” Steve Wozniak + moon walk = elimination-proof.
- The Big Bang Theory (CBS, 8pm): “The guys’ trip to San Francisco takes a detour once they learn that actress Summer Glau (appearing as herself) is on their train.” If you don’t already know who Summer Glau is, you probably shouldn’t be watching this show.
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30pm): “Ted reunites with his college girlfriend (Laura Prepon), prompting Lily and Marshall to reveal how much they loathed the snooty woman.” From what I recall, one can easily bond with Prepon over a quick smoke break.
- Castle (ABC, 10pm): Series premiere. “Well-known mystery writer Richard Castle is questioned by a fiery detective about a serial killer reenacting murders from his books.” Kinda sounds like Basic Instinct, sans a naked Michael Douglas. Or Sharon Stone. Or Jeanne Tripplehorn.

Taylor Swift isn’t just a big concert draw, the country music sensation is a ratings hit as well. Swift’s stint on CSI helped give the CBS program a nice boost on Thursday night. Unfortunately, that other musical hit (a.k.a. American Idol) was also around to do its thing.
8pm
- American Idol (21.2 million, 7.5/20 in 18-49) picked up 500,000.
