Monday’s Numbers
By fred | April 29, 2008
A typical Monday night as they’ll be for a few more weeks now. ABC won the night in total viewers, thanks to Dancing With The Stars, while Fox had no trouble winning the demo thanks to the great doctor. All networks were able to average over 10 million viewers, except for The CW of course, and NBC with its crappy lineup.
At 8.00 Dancing With The Stars was the only program to go over 10 million viewers, with 17.4 million. The ratings for Deal Or No Deal are for the full two-hour show, so while it looked good here (9.9 million), I’m sure NBC was actually behind Fox where a new Bones episode did quite good (9.7 million), over 1 million more viewers than last week, and that’s the House effect.
It should also be noted that Bones improved on the demo, with a nice 3.2 Meanwhile at 8.30 How I Met Your Mother had 8.9 million viewers and scored a nice 3.8 on the demo, and the episode was awesome and really hilarious. Clearly they don’t need some trainwreck who can’t act, they need another season order, that’s all.
Before that The Big Bang Theory also did a little better than last week, with 700 000 more viewers and finally reaching the 3.0 on the demo. On The CW Gossip Girl also did a little better with 100 000 more viewers.
At 9.00 the last half-hour of Dancing With The Stars was the most-watched program, but couldn’t compete with House on the demo (4.7 vs 5.7) Not the best score for House who’s done much better in the past, even competing with ABC dancing show. Of course, back then it wasn’t on a Monday night, so it’s all relative.
For Samantha Who? it looks like it did much better with 12.7 million, but don’t be fooled, that’s only because Dancing With The Stars ran late, it won’t hold.
At 10.00 same as usual, CSI: Miami a clear winner, Medium close to 10 million viewers, and The Bachelor dead last.
