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.

8pm
- A repeat of The Mentalist* (7.8 million, 1.9/6 in 18-49) topped the first-run programs in its hour.
- 20/20 (6.6 million, 1.7/6) picked up 900,000 since last week.

- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Special two-hour premiere. “The season begins with 13 new celebrities.” Any time a reference is made about Kim Kardashian’s butt or cut foot, take a drink.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): “Charlie runs into an ex-girlfriend whose son bears a striking resemblance to him.” As if Charlie Sheen really needed to get involved in another custody issue.
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): Special two-hour premiere. “Suresh makes an important breakthrough.” It’s taken him two seasons to realize how boring his character is.
- Worst Week (CBS, 9:30pm): Series premiere. “Disaster-prone Sam Briggs, and his girlfriend, Melanie, visit her parents – who don’t like Sam – to tell them that they are engaged and expecting a child.” It’s always good to get the disappointing news out all at once.
