If you take away an episode of Survivor and add a repeat of Lost, what do you get? A win for Celebrity Apprentice. Fans left without much to watch last night helped give NBC a rare ratings win.

MONDAY (3/24)
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30): The overly-promoted Britney Spears cameo finally airs tonight. Let’s just be happy the show is only 30-minutes long.
- Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious (CW, 9pm): Nicole Scherzinger gives the girls tips on vocal expression. Sadly, advice on releasing solo albums is not something she can dish out.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): New episode. “A bride is murdered at her wedding. The investigation takes the CSIs to a strip club where the bachelor party took place.” Strip club? This would be the perfect time for another Elizabeth Berkley appearance.
- The Hills (MTV, 10pm): Season premiere. I wonder if LC wore any of her own designs in Paris. Doubt it.

Last night, we saw a good match between NBC and CBS. Although the Peacock network was a winner with the viewers, the Eye network snagged the title for the demos.

Tuesday Ratings: Idol Clashes with DWTS
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Kids, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, Ratings,
Despite its dominance on Monday, DWTS couldn’t outperform the crew at American Idol. The 9pm overlap flattened the ballroom champ and put ABC in second place for the night.
8pm
- American Idol (10.3/25 in 18-49) averaged 27 million over two hours.
- NCIS* (10.5 million, 2.0/5) was up nearly 2 million from last week.
- The Biggest Loser (7.9 million, 3.1/8) was about even with its last numbers.
- It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown (6.3 million, 1.9/5) got us into the holiday spirit
- Just for Laughs (5.1 million, 1.6/4) had a small increase.
- Beauty and the Geek (1.7 million, 0.7/2) saw signs of fading.

(You can view TV Envy’s Post-Strike Television Schedule here.)
MONDAY (3/17)
- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Tonight’s Season 6 premiere focuses only on the men. I think it’s safe to say Julianne Hough won’t be making it a three-peat with Adam Carolla.
- The Big Bang Theory (CBS, 8pm): New episode. “Sheldon and Leonard are asked to a physics conference to present their work together.” I’ve always wondered - if this show were to air on any other day, would it be half as successful?
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30): New episode. “Ted decides to live life like Barney on St. Patrick’s Day.” You don’t want to know what they use as their lucky charms.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): New episode. “Charlie teaches Alan how to break up with a woman.” I hear hiring prostitutes can make a woman leave you.
- The Bachelor (ABC, 9:30): Season 12 premiere. “Bachelor Matt Grant, a 27-year-old British financier, meets his 25 would-be soul mates.” Apparently in America, you can finally afford to woo twice as many women as you can in the UK.
