If you are going to criticize CBS, as you always seem to do, than at least get your facts straight. CBS did just as well, if not a little better than last year this night. The 8:00 shows did much better than last year's shows and the 9:00 shows did about the same. CSI : Miami was down slightly.
From last year :
Prime Time Ratings: Monday 6/18/07
The following results are based on the fast national ratings (Live Plus Same Day data)
Also in the Monday anchor hour were CBS’ combination of animated dud Creature Comforts (Viewers: #3, 4.30 million; A18-49: #4, 1.3/ 4) and a repeat of The New Adventures of Old Christine (Viewers: #3, 4.35 million; A18-49: #4, 1.5/ 5)
CBS 9:00 p.m. Two and a Half Men (R) Viewers: 9.21 million (#1), A18-49: 2.7/ 8 (#2)
9:30 p.m. How I Met Your Mother (R) Viewers: 7.48 million (#2), A18-49: 2.4/ 6 (#2t)
If you and Lopez are going to keep criticizing CBS like you do than at least have the facts to back it up. CBS did fine for this time of year, and especially the 8:00 shows, which you love to criticize. Look at the ABC and NBC sitcom repeat numbers if you want to see bad numbers. CBS sitcoms repeat much better.

Ridiclous like House being able to talk to the dead or become psychic? Or ridiclous like 30 Rock getting no more than 7 million in any episodes past maybe the first few of the series and still get a renewal multiple times?

What? You must be talking about Lost. House finale dream sequence was a dream.

No, ridiculous like getting out of a high-security prison from a hole under the nose of 30 guards without any plan, or a headless woman coming back from the dead.

First of all there was a plan: get the guards attention to inside the prison so they can get out, second of all if you would have listened to the convo between mahone and whistler in the bar in the season finale you would have known sarah wasn't dead. And I think you shouldn't talk about far-fetched things when you watch BSG...And Prison Break has always had you suspend your disbelief from day one. There's no way they would have been allowed to dig a hole in the guard's room in season one, as I have family that work in a prison and he said they would have been watched at all times to avoid something like that...So you knew what you were getting into from day one, so why did you even bother watching it from the get-go?
I decided to watch The Mole last night because the episode of CSI:Miami was being repeated for about the 10th time. My thoughts; it was better then the first two, but still boring. I will probably end up watching the final episodes (if ABC keeps them on the air) just to see who I think The Mole is. However, I think I do have a clue who it is.
The numbers on the other hand; pathetic. Those numbers are close to the numbers Friday Night Smackdown on The CW pulls. That means it is pretty bad. Don't you think?
Anyways around the other networks.
CBS: I expected those numbers for TBBT because that episode has been showed so many times. HIMYM had lower viewer numbers, but higher demos, so it wasnt all that bad for the 8-9 hour. The 9-10 hour did better, but Rules of Engagement dropped quite a bit of 2.5 Men's lead in. CSI:Miami, same old same.
FOX: Good numbers. Bones is defintley underrated. It pulls in 7 million viewers for a repeat in the summer? Not bad. House did just as well!
NBC: Wow! NBC, how long are you going to run American Gladiators for? Have you see it's numbers? Nashville Star did okay. It did build from it's lead in, and it is doing better then it did on USA Network. However, do we need another Cyrus on a television show? I'm sick of this family!
The CW: It's the CW. Of course the numbers are bad.

Agreed! This is the second week that the Bones/House combo has scored number one for the hour. Even more impressive since they were up against original programming on ABC and NBC. They've been doing great together on Mondays, since coming back from the writers strike, and now they're doing well together in repeats.
Unfortunately (and stupidly if you ask me), Fox is going to separate them this Fall. Hopefully, Bones will continue to do well when it moves Wednesdays. I think it's an established enough show that its loyal viewers will follow it there.

All the CBS shows were on their third airing. It is summertime, so that is what you get and it really shouldn't be too much of a surprise if the ratings go down against firstrun competition on the other nets or even second run on FOX.

I agree with this, and would just like to add that the CBS sitcoms even in third repeats hold up very well. Just look at the repeat numbers of the ABC or NBC repeats, and compare them. Samantha Who and The Office can't even get over 4 million viewers. I will take the CBS repeat numbers any time.
I'm back (ish)! And though I've been SWAMPED the last few weeks... I bring with me some final ratings (including some sumptuous Showtime numbers)!

I believe the S4 Weeds premiere is now Showtime's most watched original telecast ever (IIRC the previous high was a Dexter episode in the 1.2 million range).

Maybe someday Showtime will be as exciting as Tiger amped golf. Seriously, though, I've never really understood why HBO is so much bigger than Showtime.
