Monday’s Numbers
By fred | April 22, 2008
Last night was your usual Monday night, with ABC winning the night in total viewers thanks to Dancing With The Stars, while CBS on on the demo with its comedy night.
At 8.00 Dancing started things off with 17 million viewers, and no other program even reached 10 million viewers. Bones did a little better than a week ago with 8.6 million viewers and a 2.7 on the demo, and it might get even higher next week when new episodes of House will be back at 9.00
Meanwhile there was 600 000 more viewers for the latest episode of How I Met Your Mother, also performing better than last week on the demo (3.7 vs 3.4). Makes sense, the show’s great and the episode was pretty awesome! Again, they don’t need Britney back, we don’t want her back, and what the fuck is CBS waiting for to renew it already!??
Meanwhile The Big Bang Theory lost 200 000 viewers and was once again the only program of CBS not to reach 3.0 on the demo. And of course, it was the “big return” of Gossip Girl, intensely promoted by The CW over the last few weeks. And… not so good, with only 2.4 million viewers and 1.3 on the demo. I guess not streaming the show didn’t really do anything either, but maybe to piss off some fans/viewers of the show who used to watch it online, and now simply won’t watch it at all (or find “other” ways).
At 9.00 nothing unexpected : Dancing With The Stars was the most-watched program, but Two And A Half Men won on the demo. Half an hour later Samantha Who? barely hold 10 million viewers, much like last week but its lead-in had 1.4 million more viewers. Also, Rules Of Engagement only had 500 000 more viewers yet crushed Samantha on the demo, 4.1 vs 2.9 !
At 10.00 no surprises either, with CSI: Miami winner of the slot.
