Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Games, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Everybody Hates Chris, Ratings,
Although most shows saw lower numbers on Halloween night, CBS didn’t spook viewers away. In fact, the network - which dumped The Ex List last week - did even better thanks to a repeat of NCIS. Meanwhile, Lipstick Jungle‘s performance on NBC Friday looked downright scary. The program was down 35% from its last Wednesday outing.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer (9.4 million, 2.2/8 in 18-49) was off by 600,000.
- Deal or No Deal (5 million, 0.9/4) gave away a million.
- Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? (4.6 million, 10/4) lost 1.1 million.
- Wife Swap (3.6 million, 1.1/4) fell by 600,000.
- Everybody Hates Chris (1.3 million, 0.5/2) and The Game (1.2 million, 0.6/2) both sliced off 500,000.

Although Barack Obama was the most watched person over the five major networks (a combined 26.3 million watched him on CBS, FOX and NBC), Game 5 of the World Series was the most-watched event on one network last night.

- CBS (2.3/6) took in 8.6 million for the political spot.

America’s Next Top Model 11: Planes, Trains and Slow Automobiles
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, America’s Next Top Model,
I was starting to feel like this day would never come. The day when only six remained on America’s Next Top Model 11. (Does anyone even remember the name of the show’s first transgendered contestant??) Just as a reminder, the girls chosen to represent America in Amsterdam were Analeigh, Elina, Marjorie, McKey, Samantha and Sheena. Did anyone manage to embarrass us on their first day there? Read on!

America’s Next Top Model 11: Now You See Me, Now You Don’t
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, America’s Next Top Model,
Even though it had been two weeks since the last original America’s Next Top Model, it was like no time had passed. Joslyn was still frustrated by her downhill slide, Sheena was still frustrated about not being considered “modelesque” and the unemotional Europeans (a.k.a Elina and Marjorie) were both still frustrated about being misunderstood.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Games, Kids, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Everybody Hates Chris, Ratings,
You gotta give NBC a hand for at least trying something different. Although it did better than last week’s episode of America’s Toughest Jobs, the network’s two-hour debut of Crusoe was third in its hour with the demos. Friday night, once again, totally belonged to CBS.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer (8.9 million, 2.5/9 in 18-49) was off by a 1/2 million.
- Crusoe (1.6/5) debuted to 7.3 million.
- The first hour of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?* (5.1 million, 1.4/5) lost 700,000.
- Wife Swap (4.5 million, 1.7/6) picked up 200,000.
- Everybody Hates Chris (1.8 million, 0.7/3) did the same as last week; The Game (1.8 million, 0.8/3) was down a notch.

This Week on TV (10/20-10/26)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Games, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, BBC, Bravo, Cable, CBS, FOX, Showtime, The CW, Prison Break,
(You can view TV Envy’s Fall Television Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY (10/20)
- Prison Break (FOX, 9pm): “Roland seethes at the treatment he has gotten from the gang since he lost the transcribing device in Las Vegas.” Thanks to his fine work, this show has just been dragged out longer than it needed to be.
- Gossip Girl (CW, 9pm): “Vanessa blackmails Blair, so Blair retaliates by asking Chuck to seduce Vanessa.” Sounds like somebody’s got some cruel intentions...
- 17 Kids and Counting (TLC, 10pm): “A look at how the thrifty Duggars save money on their clothing, food and heating bills.” Thankfully, I don’t plan on shopping for a family of 17, so there’s a lot more for me.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “A murder occurs in a trendy fashion boutique and during the investigation Horatio realizes that Julia is becoming increasingly unstable and volatile.” Had he taken his glasses off, he could have seen this coming sooner.

Wednesday Ratings: Third Debate Comes in Second
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Daytime, Reality, Specials, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Ratings,
Despite better reviews for last night’s debate, Obama and McCain’s final meetup drew a smaller audience than Round 2. (The presidential event took in 56.5 million; last Tuesday’s gathering hit 63.2 million.) Unfortunately for CBS, yesterday’s political special meant a loss to NBC in both the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- Game 5 of the NLCS (2.6/7 in 18-49) rallied 8 million.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (7.74 million, 2.1/6 in 18-49) was up about 100,000.
- Gary Unmarried (2.4/7) pulled in 7.71 million.

- Pushing Daisies (6.3 million, 1.9/6) picked up 700,000.
- America’s Top Model (1.5/4) recapped 3.2 million.
