Monday’s Numbers
By fred | April 8, 2008
No comedy night on CBS last night, and some basketball instead. I would complain about it, but CBS will not, as they were the clear winner of the night, both in total viewers and on the demo.
Part of the 8.00 results for CBS might include basketball in the central time zones, and it sure looks like it’s either that or many many many people tuned in before just to be sure, because a rerun of The Big Bang Theory at 8.00 was followed by 1.5 million more viewers than a new episode last week ! If that’s not due to basketball, I don’t know what it is.
At 9.00 ABC had Dancing With The Stars and it was the most-watched program of the night, especially in its last half-hour, getting close to 21 million viewers (20.8 million). It was good on the demo (5.4) but CBS did better with the basketball (16.6 million viewers, 6.1)
At 9.30 was the return of Samantha Who? and of course it did “well”, with 11.8 million viewers. And yes, previous episodes barely reached 9 million viewers, but that’s because they didn’t have such a strong lead-in. Really, this time its lead-in had 9 million more viewers, and back in the days Samantha used to stay around 14 or 15 million viewers after DWTS, so it’s not that good.
Meanwhile New Amsterdam somehow had 900 000 more viewers than last week, I’m not sure why. Last week episode wasn’t good, far from it, and this week it was even worst. It might not get canceled for now, but I can’t wait for the series finale, because it’s just not good.
At 10.00 On NBC Medium has a real boost and went up by 1.2 million viewers, getting one of its best performance in a while with 10.7 million viewers.
