I'm worried about OTH numbers once House returns. After this season though House goes back to it's normal Tuesday night right or is this a test to see how it does?
It's so nice to have Dan back. Time for some real drama!!
I don't think BBT or HIMYM have much to worry about. There doing OK considering the competition and the DST shift.
Bones may have done a little damage to it. its been almost 5 months since its last original episode (Thanksgiving week), so there was some interest in the new episode.
Note: Any prior rating results are based on the final nationals. Since the level of DVR penetration has increased from 13 percent at this same point last year to approximately 23 percent at present, the overall results may be negatively impacted.

-Ratings Breakdown: ABC and CBS split leadership on this second Monday in April, with ABC the most-watched network and CBS No. 1 among adults 18-49. Dancing With the Stars remains a force to reckon with on ABC, with 17.02 million viewers and a 3.9 rating/11 share from 8-9:30 p.m. Take a look at the half-hour breakdown:
Dancing With the Stars (ABC) 8:00 p.m. Viewers: 15.56 million (#1), A18-49: 3.6/10 (#1) 8:30 p.m. Viewers: 17.49 million (#1), A18-49: 4.0/11 (#1) 9:00 p.m. Viewers: 18.02 million (#1), A18-49: 4.4/11 (#2)
My pick to bid adieu tonight: Priscilla Presley, who started out strong but has deteriorated in recent weeks. Dancing With the Stars led into sitcom Samantha Who?, which dipped to third at 9:30 p.m. with 9.98 million viewers and a 3.0/ 7 among adults 18-49. Retention for Samantha Who? out of the last half-hour of Dancing With the Stars was disappointing at 55 percent in total viewers and 68 percent among adults 18-49. Has the whole amnesia thing worn thin?
The Bachelor: London Calling capped off the evening for ABC with a last-place 6.99 million viewers and a 2.6/ 6 among adults 18-49 at 10 p.m. A better sub-title might be The Bachelor: Cancellation Calling.
A night of all original sitcoms on CBS performed as follows from 8-10 p.m.
CBS/Monday
8:00 p.m. The Big Bang Theory Viewers: 7.69 million (#3), A18-49: 2.9/ 8 (#2)
8:30 p.m. How I Met Your Mother Viewers: 7.99 million (#4), A18-49: 3.4/ 9 (#2)
9:00 p.m. Two and a Half Men Viewers: 13.83 million (#2), A18-49: 5.3/13 (#1)
9:30 p.m. Rules of Engagement (return) Viewers: 10.32 million (#2), A18-49: 4.0/10 (#1)
The prognosis: Typically winning Two and a Half Men, a very respectable Rules of Engagement, a performance by How I Met Your Mother worthy of renewal, and disappointing The Big Bang Theory. A repeat of CSI: Miami capped off the evening for CBS with 10.55 million viewers (#1) and a second-place 3.0/ 8 among adults 18-49 from 10-11 p.m.
NBC finished third with its line-up of a two-hour edition of Deal or No Deal (Viewers: 9.65 million; A18-49: 2.8/ 7 among adults 18-49 from 8-10 p.m.), which peaked in the 9:30 p.m. half-hour at 12.51 million viewers (#1) and a 3.7/ 9 among adults 18-49 (#2), and Medium (Viewers: #2, 9.58 million; A18-49: #1, 3.1/ 9 at 10 p.m.).
Fox’s underrated Bones moved into the 8 p.m. hour with a solid 8.54 million viewers (#2) and a third-place 2.8/ 8 among adults 18-49. Comparably, that built from year-ago occupant Drive (Viewers: 5.66 million; A18-49: 2.3/ 6 on April 15, 2007) by a considerable 2.88 million viewers and 22 percent in the demo. But the season (or series) finale of drama New Amsterdam dipped to fourth, with 6.77 million viewers and a 2.1/ 5 among adults 18-49 from 9-10 p.m.
Over at low-rated the CW, a repeat of Gossip Girl (Viewers: #5, 1.29 million; A18-49: #5, 0.6/ 2) led into an original installment of relocated One Tree Hill at 2.72 million viewers and a 1.3/ 3 among adults 18-49 at 9 p.m. While less than 3 million viewers for One Tree Hill is nothing to boast about, it did manage to build from Gossip Girl by 1.43 million viewers and 117 percent in the demo.

SAMANTHA WHO is the very poster of a STRIKE damanged show. Yes, the ratings were down after DANCING ended but dissapearing for months on end killed ANY momentum it might have had.
And its truly sad because its brand of comedy is light years ahead of less sophisticated fair the BIG BANG THEORY or RULES.

I don't see OTH losing any steam at all because I don't see House being similar appealing. Also, Gossip Girl will be new starting next week, which will be a good thing me thinks given all the promotion. The CW will have its strongest Monday block in the coming weeks since week two of last year when 7th Heaven was still airing on Mondays.
Wow, spring really has cut into television, hasn't it? The numbers just continue to drop.

Nice to see those numbers for Medium, even if it is down slightly from last week. It's still significantly better than it did this time last year(on Wednesday).
4/11/07 7.64M viewers with a 2.5/7/#3 in the demo.
Glad that NBC has renewed it, but I do wish that they would stop moving it around on the schedule. Can't they see that it belongs on Mondays?
I wonder if their insistence on moving the show to Sundays is a)an attempt to kill the show and rid themselves of it or b) a backhanded compliment by using it to anchor a new night and launch two new shows?
Originally posted by TV-aholic: Looking at the whole night, just about everything was down. Only Bones and 2.5 Men did "normal" numbers.
Was there something ODD happening last night that would have taken viewers away from the TV????
ODD how much a difference one week can make.
Nothing odd happened. People just came to the realization that the CBS comedies really do suck, and after watching for 2 or 3 weeks they could not take it any more. And people also realized that watching celebrities dance is actually very boring.
