(You can view TV Envy’s Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY 5/11)
- Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm): “Serena’s run-in with the police upsets Lily.” She only expected her daughter to be cuffed and shamed, not frisked and strip-searched.
- Weaponizers (Discovery, 9pm): Season premiere. “An RV takes on a shuttle bus, after the teams equip them with rockets, machine guns and medieval weapons in this reality series featuring vehicle face-off competitions.” The only thing missing in this equation is Jason Statham.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9:30pm): “Alan and Chelsea bond, and their time together gives Charlie a needed break to do the things he loves doing on his own.” A wingman can help you score a woman….and keep her busy too.
- Medium (NBC, 10pm): “After Allison slips into a coma while working on a case, her spirit transfers into the body of a middle-aged man (Jeffrey Tambor).” The sexual reassignment process was much easier than the one Alexis Arquette went through.

One week after facing a new Private Practice, Southland was put to another test. A repeat of Criminal Minds not only did better than the now-moved Harper’s Island, it attracted the most viewers in the 10:00 hour.
8pm
- Survivor: Tocantins (11.7 million, 3.6/11 in 18-49) improved by 300,000.
- Bones (8.8 million, 2.2/7) saw an increase of 600,000.

After what seemed like months of repeats, ABC returned last night with (mostly) new episodes. The network took the 10:00 hour away from Southland and won the night’s demos. CBS, though, was first place with the viewers.

Thursday Ratings: Parks Weakens Without Office
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Grey’s Anatomy, My Name Is Earl, Survivor, The Office, Ratings,
Although it’s still hard to say how Southland will do against an ABC original, the series held up remarkably well in its second week. Unfortunately, the same can’t entirely be said for Harper’s or Parks. The CBS mystery lost nearly 2 million in its second week while the comedy suffered a case of the post-Earl blues.
8pm
- Survivor: Tocantins (11.6 million, 3.5/11 in 18-49) added on 300,000.
- Bones (8.7 million, 2.5/8) slipped by 200,000.
- My Name is Earl (5.3 million, 2.1/7) did 1.9 million less than last week’s Office; Parks and Recreation (5.9 million, 2.5/7) fell by 900,000 after smaller lead-in.
- In the Motherhood (4.7 million, 1.4/5) and Samantha Who? (5 million, 1.5/5) were both up 100,000.
- Smallville* (1.8 million, 0.8/2) was off by 200,000.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Grey’s Anatomy, Survivor, The Office, Ratings,
Depending on how you spin the numbers, the evening either belonged to NBC, CBS or both. The premiere of Southland won the 10:00 battle against Harper’s Island in the demos, but lost in the viewers. NBC tied CBS in the demos, but the Eye network won overall with the viewers. (Maybe we’ll just have to recalculate when ABC isn’t in repeats.)
8pm
- Survivor: Tocantins (11.3 million, 3.5/11 in 18-49) was up 100,000.
- Bones (8.9 million, 2.5/8) was down 100,000.

Last night, viewers came out of the woodwork to say goodbye to NBC’s long-running drama. ER‘s series ender attracted the largest audience for a drama finale since Murder She Wrote in 1996. (It also pulled in the best demos since the conclusion of The X-Files in 2002.)

If ABC was hoping to make some improvements to its Thursday night ratings, the network might have to try again.
