High five!

House is still the king of Mondays although it was down 0.1 in A18-49. CBS has still great Mondays with the comedies (The three of them improving week-to-week). As Barney would say, that's a Freeze-frame high-five. NBC is still in trouble even if Heroes was up from 2.3 to 2.4. When you grow up and you are still in trouble, then it means you are in bigger trouble than you thought. Sorry NBC I won't say you deserve it but that's probably Karma for canceling Southland even before it premired its second season.

Down, down, down...

All lineups down except for ABC with the boring DWTS and Castle. I read that in Minneapolis and Milwaukee, ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast was simulcast on the local ABC affiliate. That could be a reason why ABC's numbers were better this week than last week. We'll have to wait for the final numbers to check. I would also like to see ESPN's numbers to see if people turned to cable or they just turned off TVs yesterday. Awful result for NBC with Heroes and even worse for Trauma. With those numbers Leno couldn't do a thing (who would?). Anyway, maybe people just DVR'd Leno to watch it at 11pm as I read many peple was doing (funny that NBC moves Leno from 11pm to 10 pm only for people to record it and watch it later again).

Last Monday's results, here.

FOX brings viewers to House

Good numbers for House again which led FOX to a victory (not in viewers) but in demos. Disastrous night for NBC with both Heroes and the series premiere of Trauma. They should really start thinking about something else or raising Leno's salary and let him get the 8-10pm slot. Viewers down for How I Met your Mother but demos up, so that's fine for me. Both viewers and demos down for DWTS (which is perfectly fine for me too. Hahahaha). Unbelievably TBBT grew even more and scored more than 13 million viewers and 5.1 in the 18-49 adults. That's amazing (and I think another series high!) Both shows on the CW grew a bit but not much. I just hope the women 18-34 ratings are high enough to keep the shows on air (or at least Gossip Girl).

Last Monday ratings, here.

Ratings are back with a Bang!

FOX won the night easily both in viewers and demos. FOX numbers were amazing and was the only show with Big Bang Theory to premiere higher. Best news for me are: Heroes and DWTS are down. In fact DWTS had its lowest premiere ever. I never liked DWTS and I'm still waiting to hear from the people that every year after American Idol's premiere say that it is dead because the ratings were down from last season. What about DWTS? Never mind. And Heroes, I know it still has a huge fan base but, I don't like it anymore. It's every year the same. I see cancellation. What's more important for FOX house numbers grew from 8pm to 9pm. We'll have to wait and see how the second episode performs next Monday but, it seems it's going to be another big season for House, but its biggest? Last week Jay Leno opened with more than 17 million viewers and yesterday it just had 5.67 million. That's why we should wait and see. Although I personally think House will go down, I don't think it will be that much.
BTW: Did I say TBBT had its biggest premiere ever?
