Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Games, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Dancing With The Stars, Medium, Ratings,
A mere 20,000 viewers. That was the only thing keeping CBS from winning both the viewers and the demos last night. ABC’s reality block - with its 12.18 million average - barely managed to squeak past the Eye and its 12.16 million followers.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (18.7 million, 4.2/12 in 18-49) picked up 400,000.
- 24‘s finale (9.4 million, 3.0/8) was down 600,000 from last week.
- Rules of Engagement (2.6/8) rang up 7.5 million; How I Met Your Mother (3.7/10 wrapped up with 8.7 million.
- Deal or No Deal (4.8 million, 1.3/4) scored 600,000 more.

Has the update novelty already worn off? Although 90210 helped spawn a reboot of Melrose Place, the teen drama - already renewed for another season - is starting to show signs of weakness. Yesterday’s episode drew in its smallest audience to date.
8pm
- American Idol (22.5 million, 7.9/22 in 18-49) was out of tune by 700,000.

DWTS’ Melissa Rycroft Gets Another Chance
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Gossip,
Once again, Dancing with the Stars fans proved they love to see a comeback story. But will their votes have been in vain?
Even though a rib injury kept her from performing on Monday, Melissa Rycroft’s supporters rallied to keep her around for another week. This despite no guarantees that she will even be able to dance again.
During last night’s results show, Melissa updated the audience on the status of her hairline fracture. “We’ve started new treatment and we’re kind of optimistic that it will be effective,” she explained.
Since the former Bachelor star was spared elimination, the ax had to come down on another couple. Although they went into the evening with 5 more points than Rycroft and Tony Dovolani, Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough were the ones sent home. But is there a possibility that they could return?
Should Melissa discover that she can’t continue as previously hoped, would the producers bring back the last pairing? Or would that all depend on the timing of her decision? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Monday Ratings: Lackluster Finales for Heroes, Chuck
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, House, Medium, Ratings,
If there ever was a time for fans to come out and support Chuck, it would have been last night. Unfortunately, the numbers for both NBC finales were basically flat from last week. (At least the network has already declared that Heroes will get a return.) Meanwhile, FOX beat out CBS in a tight race for the demos while ABC was in first with the viewers.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (19.1 million, 4.3/12 in 18-49) stumbled by 1.6 million.
- House (11.4 million, 4.5/12) did 3 million better than the previous Bones episode.
- The Big Bang Theory (3.4/10) had 9.3 million laughing; How I Met Your Mother (3.7/10) rounded up 8.9 million.
- Chuck (6.1 million, 2.3/6) did the same as before.
- Gossip Girl (2 million, 1.0/3) turned away 400,000.

Injured Melissa Rycroft Sidelined on Dancing with the Stars
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Could there be another bad ending in Melissa Rycroft’s reality show run?
Although it seemed like we had finally gotten past the Dancing with Stars curse, Jason Mesnick’s ex was absent from tonight’s taping. It was revealed that a rib injury suffered last week was actually a hairline fracture.
Despite Melissa’s efforts to perform this week, it became painfully clear after rehearsals that she couldn’t go on. Assuming she’s able to return to the competition (it’s currently believed she will), the judges went ahead and scored her pre-taped jive. (That was what they also did in the Steve-O back injury situation.) Unfortunately, the dry run with Tony Dovolani offered little substance and only earned a 21.
We should expect an update on Rycroft’s status on tomorrow’s results show.
