Monday’s Numbers [12.08.2008]
By fred | December 9, 2008
If you remember correctly, last week CBS was on rerun mode, and still won the night. So with new episodes on, there’s no real question as to who the winner was last night, is there?
CBS comedy block is as effective as ever, The Big Bang Theory opening with a new series high at 10.80 million viewers and 3.8 op the demo, followed by How I Met Your Mother and slightly less viewers but still a new season high with 10.49 million viewers and always growing from its lead-in on the demo, with a 4.2
Meanwhile on NBC Chuck was down (-300 000) with 6.93 million viewers and 2.5 on the demo, while the always excellent Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was also losing viewers (-600 000) with 5.21 million viewers and only 1.9 on the demo (what’s wrong with you, people? This show is awesome!) On The CW on the other hand Gossip Girl managed to remain quite stable with 3.01 million viewers (1.5 on the demo).
At 9.00 Two And A Half Men proved once again it was the most-watched sitcom scoring a season high with 15.65 million viewers and a 5.2 on the demo. That obviously helped lead-out Worst Week, keeping 10.60 million viewers on (3.5 on the demo) — still not great retention.
Heroes was doing was it does best, going down : 200 000 less viewers for the show (7.78 million, 3.6) Things weren’t really better on Fox, where Prison Break saw 400 000 less viewers than a week ago (5.39 million, 2.1) Bad news also on The CW, because the second episode of Privileged on a Monday night didn’t do as good as the first, down to 1.90 million viewers and 1.0 on the demo.
On the Alphabet it was time for goodbyes for Boston Legal, and people were there. At 9.00 the show had 9.91 million viewers (2.3 on the demo), and it went up with 10.52 million viewers (2.6 on the demo) one hour later.
Meanwhile CSI: Miami had 600 000 less viewers but still won the slot with 13.62 million viewers and 4.1 on the demo, while on NBC it was as bad as it can be, My Own Worst Enemy having only 3.96 million viewers and 1.8 on the demo.
