Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 30 Rock, Grey’s Anatomy, Survivor, The Office, Ratings,
30 Rock has no problems attracting guest stars and earning Emmys—so why does it continue to struggle in the ratings? Last night’s Season 4 premiere found itself down 27% in the demo from this same time last year. It also lost over 20% of The Office‘s viewers.
8pm
- Survivor: Samoa (3.5/10 in 18-49) tested 11.9 million.
- Flashpoint (3.1/9) had 9.1 million guessing.
- Bones (2.6/7) also rounded up 9.1 million.
- Community (5.1 million, 2.0/6) tied Parks and Recreation (4.7 million, 2.0/6) in the demos.
- The Vampire Diaries (1.8/5) roped in 3.9 million.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Food & Home, Prime Time, Reality, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Hell’s Kitchen, Dancing With The Stars, Ratings,
It took a two-hour Hell’s Kitchen finale to finally put a dent into CBS’ strong Tuesday night lineup. The FOX series helped the network win in the demos last night, even though NCIS broke the 20 million mark (again) in viewers yesterday. The reality show also managed to improve 19% from its recent May finale.
8pm
- NCIS (20.4 million, 4.5/12 in 18-49) had the best numbers all around.
- The Biggest Loser (3.4/9) weighed in at 9 million viewers.
- Approximately 8 million watched Dave Levey win the sixth season of Hell’s Kitchen (3.8/10).
- Shark Tank (1.6/4) ate 5.4 million up.
- 90210 (1.1/3) turned in 2.4 million.

Even though House was still hot with the 18-49s, it got little help from Lie to Me. FOX came in a close second to CBS last night in the demos while ABC was on top with the viewers.

Monday Ratings: Trauma Needs Assistance
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, House, Ratings,
NBC needs some help, stat! Yesterday’s series premiere of Trauma did nothing for the Peacock network’s health on Mondays. The medical drama pulled in numbers smaller than last fall’s stinker, My Own Worst Enemy. By night’s end, ABC was on top with the viewers while FOX was 1st in the demos.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (16.7 million, 3.7/9 in 18-49) slipped by 800,000.
- House (14.4 million, 5.7/15) had the evening’s best demos.
- How I Met Your Mother (8.7 million, 3.6/10) was down 500,000; Accidentally on Purpose (8.1 million, 3.1/8) lost 900,000.
- Heroes (5.8 million, 2.5/6) gave up 200,000.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Amazing Race, The, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings,
There may have been a wedding on Wisteria Lane, but all the attention was on Cleveland last night. Although they pulled in numbers similar to their May finales, Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters both had their lowest-rated premieres to date. Meanwhile, the debut of The Cleveland Show had the best 18-49 start for any FOX comedy since March 2003.
8pm
- NBC averaged 14.1 million, (5.4/14 in 18-49) for its Sunday Night Football coverage.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (10.5 million, 3.1/8) was down 1.4 million from last fall.
- Approximately 10.2 million (3.4/8) watched the 15th start of The Amazing Race.
- The Simpsons (8.2 million, 4.2/12) was off 1.1 million; The Cleveland Show opened (4.9/12) to 9.4 million.

Friday Ratings: Weak Return for Dollhouse
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Medium, Ratings,
Attention Dollhouse producers - get Summer Glau on quick! Had I not known that Dollhouse premiered last Friday, I would have assumed by the program’s numbers that it was still in repeats. Unfortunately, the Joss Whedon-created series made its return with the lowest demos for any original that evening. (It’s lead-in - Brothers—didn’t fare much better.) To make matters worse, the FOX drama also pulled in smaller numbers than several repeats.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer (8.6 million, 2.2/8 in 18-49) was down 700,000 from last fall.
- Law & Order (1.3/5) kicked off its 20th season with 6.3 million.
- A FlashForward* repeat (1.5/5) had 4.6 million blacking out.
- Brothers (1.0/4) kept 2.8 million amused.
- Smallville (1.0/4) debuted to 2.5 million.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Grey’s Anatomy, Saturday Night Live, Survivor, The Office, Ratings,
A mysterious new program (FlashForward), a tragic storyline (Grey’s Anatomy) and a slumping series (CSI) combined to give ABC wins in both the viewers and demos this Thursday.
8pm
- FlashForward (12.4 million, 4.1/12 in 18-49) was the first series since April 2004 to beat Survivor at its game.

Wednesday Ratings: TBL Not-So-Beautiful for the CW
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Ratings, Video,
Looks like the new teen-friendly, high-society programming schedule at the CW isn’t paying off as well as expected. The network’s new and much-touted series The Beautiful Life: TBL is failing miserably in the ratings race.
The series gained only a 0.5 rating last night with its target 18-49 audience, while getting a rather dismal 1.05 million viewers total. What’s okay on cable just won’t do for a network that’s trying to be a major player in the TV game. Even this TBL news wouldn’t be so bad, but both Melrose Place and 90210 are performing under expectations as well.
Looks like the CW needs to keep re-vamping their schedule…or, just show more Vampire Diaries.

Some things simply get better with age. After six years on CBS, NCIS returned strong for its seventh. Last night’s premiere had its largest numbers to date. That impressive performance - followed by two solid debuts - gave the network wins in both the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- NCIS (20 million, 4.6/13 in 18-49) was up 2.3 million from last September.
- Dancing with the Stars 9 (15.2 million, 3.5/9) was off 3 million from one year ago.
- The Biggest Loser (7.5 million, 3.1/8) was down 2.2 million from the previous Tuesday.
- Hell’s Kitchen (3.2/9) fired up 6.8 million.
- 90210 (2.2 million, 1.1/3) slid by 200,000.
