Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, House, Medium, Ratings,
Yesterday’s premiere of Surviving Suburbia did well despite NCAA competition. The program had the best numbers for a comedy debut since the opener of Samantha Who? in October 2007. (A Dancing with the Stars lead-in being the common denominator.)
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (19.6 million, 4.5/11 in 18-49) was down by 600,000.
- Approximately 13 million watched the shocker on House (5.0/13).
- The Big Bang Theory* (8.9 million, 3.2/9) gave up 900,000; How I Met Your Mother* (8.5 million, 3.3/9) lost 700,000.
- Chuck (6 million, 2.1/6) picked up 400,000.
- Gossip Girl* (1.1 million, 0.5/1) shrunk by 1.4 million.

Monday Ratings: FOX and ABC Divide the Night
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, House, Medium, Ratings,
Despite all the 10’s issued on Dancing with the Stars last night, ABC narrowly lost the demos to FOX yesterday. Hot ballroom action did stir up the evening’s biggest audience though.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (20.2 million, 4.8/12 in 18-49) was even with last week.
- House (4.7/13) turned in 12.2 million.
- The Big Bang Theory (3.8/11) roped in 9.8 million; How I Met Your Mother (9.2 million, 3.9/10) improved by 1.8 million.
- Chuck (5.6 million, 2.0/6) slipped by 500,000.
- Gossip Girl (2.5 million, 1.2/3) rose by 300,000.

Monday Ratings: New Lows for Heroes, Medium
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, House, Medium, Ratings,
If you thought a repeat of Two and a Half Men might help Heroes’ chances, you were wrong. Last night, the wilting NBC program once again saw its smallest audience to date. That poor performance led into a series low for Medium as well.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (20.2 million, 4.9/13 in 18-49) stumbled by 900,000.
- House* (7.7 million, 2.6/7) sent 5.1 million home.
- A How I Met Your Mother original (7.4 million, 2.9/8) didn’t do as well as The Big Bang Theory; a HIMYM repeat (2.6/7) turned in 6.9 million.
- Chuck (2.1/6) registered 6.1 million.
- Gossip Girl (2.2 million, 1.0/3) remained steady.

Monday Ratings: Castle Has Strong Second Outing
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, House, Medium, Ratings,
While it’s doubtful Castle would be able to do this well without DWTS’ support, the series did show promise in its second week. The Nathan Fillion vehicle joined forces with the ballroom hit to give ABC another double win last night.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (21.1 million, 5.3/14 in 18-49) slipped by 1.4 million.
- House (12.8 million, 4.8/13) checked in 700,000 more.
- The Big Bang Theory (9.8 million, 3.7/11) was up 300,000; How I Met Your Mother (9.2 million, 3.8/10) grew by 700,000.
- Chuck* (3.9 million, 1.3/4) dropped 1.8 million.
- Gossip Girl (1.1/3) returned to 2.2 million.

(You can view TV Envy’s Midseason Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY 3/16)
- House (FOX, 8pm): “A nursing home worker is alarmed when the home’s cat curls up next to her. It seems the cat only cuddles up to people who are going to die soon.” That’s what felines call “grooming their victims.”
- Castle (ABC, 10pm): “Castle and Beckett discover a young nanny dead inside a laundry room dryer, and their investigation leads to a dangerous world of play dates.” The pursuit for the perfect Hide-and-Seek spot can get quite nasty.
- For the Love of Ray J (VH1, 10pm): “A pool date with two contesants turns steamy.” Thanks to Jason Mesnick, I already know how this episode will end.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “A flight attendant’s murder reveals dirty secrets of airline travel.” Note to self: Pack own pillow and blanket for next flight.

Monday Ratings: DWTS Has Best Premiere Yet
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, House, Medium, Ratings,
Jewel and Nancy O’Dell’s loss was Dancing with the Stars’ gain. Despite being in its 8th season, the program saw its largest premiere audience to date. (I think we can safely attribute that to the Melissa Rycroft factor.) The reality show’s return easily gave ABC wins in both the viewers and the demos last night.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (22.5 million, 5.9/15 in 18-49) had its second best premiere demo so far.
- House (12.1 million, 4.8/13) took a 2.5 million hit.
- The Big Bang Theory (9.5 million, 3.6/10) lost 1.4 million; How I Met Your Mother (8.5 million, 3.5/9) gave up 2.6 million.
- Chuck (5.7 million, 2.0/5) had its smallest audience ever.
- Gossip Girl* (1.2 million, 0.5/1) did about the same.

(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.

Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, News,
Cops and chick lit get the go ahead at ABC, at least in pilot form. The Hollywood Reporter says the network has approved the production of four new pilots, three of them focusing on crime and punishment.
Castle, produced by ABC Studios and Beacon, is reportedly a one-hour drama about a horror writer who consults for the NYPD homicide department.
The Unusuals, from Sony Pictures TV and Apostle, is described as a one-hour dramatic comedy set inside a New York police precinct.
The Hollywood Reporter describes Finnegan as yet another one-hour crime drama about a tough female detective in the Los Angeles Police Department’s organized crime/vice unit.
