Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings,
Last night, the CW got some good news and bad news. The bad news? Despite renting out its Sunday time slots to Media Rights Capital, the network saw no improvement in ratings. The good news? It really didn’t do much worse than before. By night’s end, CBS was a winner with the viewers while ABC wound up tied with NBC in the demos.
8pm
- Approximately 13.6 million journeyed along with the The Amazing Race (3.7/9 in 18-49)
- Sunday Night Football (12.8 million, 4.8/11) had 2.6 million less fans.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (11.7 million, 3.8/10) was on par with last week.
- The Simpsons (7.4 million, 3.6/10) shrunk by 1.9 million; King of the Hill (6.6 million, 3.3/8) slid by 400,000.
- Valentine‘s premiere (0.4/1) roped in 1.1 million.

Despite being down approximately 5% since last year, the retooled Desperate Housewives was easily last night’s best draw. Unfortunately, the show couldn’t fight off the Bears and Eagles alone. NBC - with the help of Sunday Night Football - was once again tops in both categories last night.
8pm
- Approximately 15.4 million (6.3/15 in 18-49) saw the Chicago Bears beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (3.7/9) had 11.9 million feeling emotional.
- The Amazing Race (3.1/8) took 10.3 million along on the first leg of its race.
- The Simpsons (9.3 million, 4.4/12) was down 6% from last year; King of the Hill (7 million, 3.3/8) fell 13%.
- Privileged* (1.2 million, 0.6/1) did about the same.

- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Special two-hour premiere. “The season begins with 13 new celebrities.” Any time a reference is made about Kim Kardashian’s butt or cut foot, take a drink.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): “Charlie runs into an ex-girlfriend whose son bears a striking resemblance to him.” As if Charlie Sheen really needed to get involved in another custody issue.
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): Special two-hour premiere. “Suresh makes an important breakthrough.” It’s taken him two seasons to realize how boring his character is.
- Worst Week (CBS, 9:30pm): Series premiere. “Disaster-prone Sam Briggs, and his girlfriend, Melanie, visit her parents – who don’t like Sam – to tell them that they are engaged and expecting a child.” It’s always good to get the disappointing news out all at once.

CBS Cancels Moonlight, Renews Mother
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, CBS, Cancellations, Renewals,
Yesterday, we named those shows recently cut by the major networks. Now we know which CBS programs will be added to that dreaded list.
The freshman dramas receiving the ax include Moonlight and Shark. Although fans of the vampire series did their best to campaign for the cult fave, their passion simply didn’t equate to ratings. (I’m sure the network feared they’d end up with another failed Jericho in their hands.)
Meanwhile, those programs being spared include: How I Met Your Mother, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Rules of Engagement and The Unit. It seems Britney Spears might be good for something after all…
