• Little People, Big World (TLC, 8pm):  “Molly fails a Spanish test and decides to stop speaking English until she masters the foreign language.” And you didn’t think anybody learned anything on this channel.
• Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm):  “Charlie’s male ego is bruised when he learns that he hasn’t been satisfying Chelsea.” Well, it has been a long time since he was a Hot Shot.
• Jon & Kate Plus 8 (TLC, 10pm):  “Jon and Kate reflect on changes in their lives and the ups and downs over the years in the series finale.” Just so I’m clear—would Jon’s weight be considered an up or a down?

• Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm):  After ten weeks, it all ends tonight. Sadly, I can’t even remember the names of the first two eliminated.
• Samantha Who? (ABC, 9:30):  “Sam invites boyfriend Owen (James Tupper) for dinner to meet her parents, but Owen and Howard don’t hit it off.” Seems Howard doesn’t approve of his relationship with Anne Heche either.
• Valkyrie: The Plot to Kill Hitler (History, 10pm):  “Recalling Operation Valkyrie, a failed plot devised by German officers to assassinate Adolf Hitler.” By choosing this documentary over the Tom Cruise version, you’ll be able to save a few more bucks for Christmas.
• The Hills (MTV, 10pm):  “Audrina confronts Lauren and Justin after rumors circulate that the two hooked up.” By “confront,” we mean Audrina has them refer to the television interviews she’s conducted on the topic.

Tuesday Ratings:  Fans Nostalgic For ABC’s ‘Great Pumpkin’

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Daytime, Drama, Kids, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, House, Ratings,

I have a feeling after last night’s great numbers, we’ll still be seeing Linus sitting in that pumpkin patch next year.  Although FOX’s Tuesday lineup had the best demos, the classic Halloween special helped ABC attract the largest audience.

8pm

• Although it was slightly down from last week, NCIS (16.3 million, 3.3/9 in 18-49 demo) had the hour’s largest audience.
• It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (11.4 million, 3.8/11) easily outperformed the usual Cavemen/Carpoolers numbers.
• Bones (8.9 million, 3.2/9) took a backseat to Snoopy.
• The Biggest Loser (6.3 million, 2.8/7) and The Singing Bee (5.8 million, 1.7/5) both declined from last week.
• Beauty and the Geek (2.3 million, 1.1/3) was down almost a million.

9pm

• At 18.8 million, Dancing With The Stars (4.3/10 in 18-49 demo) had the hour’s largest audience.
• House (17.2 million, 7.0/17) still outperformed in the demos.
• The Unit (2.8/7) came in third with 8.1 million viewers.
• CW’s Reaper (2.5 million, 1.1/3) was about even with last week.

10pm

• Thanks to a repeat on NBC, Boston Legal (11.2 million, 3.0/8 in 18-49 demo) had the hour’s best audience.
• A repeat of Law and Order: SVU (8.7 million, 3.0/8) still came in second.
• Surprisingly, Cane (8.1 million, 2.0/5) held on steady from last Tuesday.
