-Ratings Breakdown:
ABC danced its way to overnight Monday victory, with its combination of an expanded edition of Dancing With the Stars (one hour and 45-minutes), Samantha Who? and The Bachelor. But keep in mind that all program ratings for ABC are approximate due to the extended DWTS. Next was CBS, followed by NBC, Fox and the CW. While I understand that the strength of NBC’s Heroes falls in the young adult demographics (adults 18-49, in particular), year-to-year the drama was down by a significant 36 percent in the metered markets.
Dancing with the Stars took the 8 p.m. hour with ease, at a 13.4 rating/20 share. Comparably, that more than doubled the No. 2 occupant, CBS’ How I Met Your Mother (6.0/ 9) and The Big Bang Theory (6.2/ 9). The good news for CBS was growth in the metered markets from one year earlier of seven percent for How I Met Your Mother and 19 percent for The Big Bang Theory (versus former occupant The Class).
Also in the 8 p.m. hour was NBC’s Chuck and Fox’s Prison Break, each with a 4.7/ 7 in the overnights, and CW comedies Everybody Hates Chris (2.4/ 4) and failing Aliens in America (1.8/ 3).
ABC remained in the winner’s circle in the 9 p.m. hour care of the final 45-minutes of Dancing With the Stars (13.8/19) and the first 15-minutes of Samantha Who? (9.0/13). Overall, DWTS averaged a hefty 13.5/19 from 8-9:45 p.m. As to who is leaving tonight, although it should be Jane Seymour, my pick is Cameron Mathison.
Second from 9-10 p.m. were CBS sitcoms Two and a Half Men (9.1/13) and Rules of Engagement (7.2/10), followed by NBC’s below average Heroes (6.2/ 9), a second episode of Fox’s Prison Break (4.8/ 7), and the CW’s Girlfriends (2.4/ 3) and The Game (2.6/ 4). As I say every week, growth for The Game out of Girlfriends (eight percent this week) keeps it off the list of losers. As for Two and a Half Men, am I the only one bored with Charlie’s constant sexual encounters? Just how realistic is this?
CBS moved into the winner’s circle at 10 p.m., with veteran CSI: Miami at a 10.6/17. Second was ABC’s combination of the last 15-minutes of Samantha Who? (8.0/12) and an abbreviated edition of The Bachelor (6.0/10), followed by NBC’s failing Journeyman at a series-low 3.8/ 6. Yes…the cancellation clock is ticking! Overall, Samantha Who? averaged an 8.5/13 from 9:45-10:15 p.m.
