Although House fans may have been bummed, several networks were thrilled to see a baseball-filled night on FOX. With its stiff competition removed, CBS had a rare Tuesday night audience victory.
8pm
- A Bones-less 8pm helped NCIS (17.4 million, 4.1/12 in 18-49 demo) score the night’s best audience.
- FOX’s Red Sox/Indians game (3.6/10) averaged 12.7 million.
- Cavemen (6.9 million, 2.7/8) was on par with last week’s numbers; Carpoolers (6.9 million, 2.7/7) was slightly down.
- Not many viewers cared about Matt Lauer’s exclusive Dateline interview with Sen. Larry Craig (5.7 million, 1.7/5).
- Beauty and the Geek (1.7/5) gained 400,000 viewers and rounded off the hour with 3.5 million.
9pm
- Without House knocking on its door, Dancing With the Stars (17 million, 4.3/11 in 18-49 demo) soaked up another 1 million viewers for the 9pm win.
- CBS’ The Unit (12.3 million, 3.5/9) and NBC’s The Biggest Loser (6.9 million, 3.0/8) both saw increases.
- Reaper (3.2 million, 1.5/4) was up 600,000 fans from last week.
10pm
- Law and Order: SVU (12.5 million, 4.8/13 in 18-49 demo) continued its rule over the 10pm hour.
- Boston Legal (10.2 million, 2.8/8) was about even with last week.
- Cane (8.5 million, 2.2/6) was down another 600,000 this week.

Bonnie Hunt Talk Show in the Works?
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, NBC, Syndication,
This is great news for Bonnie Hunt fans (which I count myself among)... she’s currently working on developing a talk show. Anyone who’s ever seen Hunt as a guest on talk shows knows she gives great interviews. Then again, I’m not sure how this will all turn out. Yes, Hunt has appeared in many films and been great (okay, I’ll forgive her for Cheaper by the Dozen 2), but she’s also tried time and again to get a variety of television series off the ground only to be canceled—remember Life with Bonnie or The Bonnie Hunt Show? Nope, didn’t think so. So, how will a talk show work for the actress? Will she flourish a la Ellen DeGeneres or wither away like Megan Mullaly? I think she’s got the chops to do it (after all, she’s filled in for David Letterman without incident), but I’m not sure she has the huge appeal of an Ellen. Not even sure she can compete with the powerhouse that is Rachael Ray—although I’d much rather see Hunt interviewing the stars than Ray with her super grin and cheesy questions. Bonnie Hunt’s show is expected to hit the air waves in 2008 on NBC. I know I’ll check it out and I hope others will give it a chance as well.
