As always on Mondays, ABC was the winner of the night in total viewers while CBS took the demo. As for the others? Well, they try to survive… You can be sure Fox is dying for its ‘09 lineup packing House and 24 together to come to life!
At 8.00 CBS started off more than very well, both The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother getting more than 10 million viewers ! The former opened with a new series high at 10.19 million viewers and 3.9 on the demo, while the later had a new season high with 10.04 million and a nice 4.3 on the demo !

(S04E09) It’s been an odd season for How I Met Your Mother, with some really good episodes and others leaving us wondering what happened to our beloved and once so unique & original show. Just last week I said how it wasn’t that the episode was not good or funny, because it was, but not in that very unique ways that make this show so unlike anything else on TV.
This week I won’t say it was pulling a very sitcom-esque move again, I feel it was a good and funny episode - partially. Partially only, but all in all I was left underwhelmed, not to say disappointed, once again. I think I would say this: cut this episode in half, the first half was great, the second was only “meh” at best.

* And on NBC there’s a new Chuck
* Then at 8.30 CBS has a new How I Met Your Mother
* Followed at 9.00 by a new Two And A Half Men
* While on Fox we continue to follow the A-Team on a new Prison Break
* And NBC has a new episode of Heroes (for you idiots who don’t know how to use a DVR…)
* On The CW there’s a new episode of One Tree Hill
* At 9.30 on ABC there’s a new Samantha Who?
* While on CBS there’s a new Worst Week
* Then at 10.00 ABC has a new Boston Legal

* And it’s not TV, and it’s not even tonight, but the long awaited season 2 of the great web-series The Guild (created/produced/written/… by the lovely Felicia Day, Dr Horrible’s Penny) makes its debut tomorrow on its new platform, MSN, but still 100% free of course. Don’t forget to check it out, and while waiting there’s already a funny scene (Season 2 Teaser) up on MSN, or directly from The Guild’s site — alongside the complete first season.

CBS comedy night is definitely doing wonders, there’s no question there. While it had a little less viewers than a week ago (-300 000) for its series high, The Big Bang Theory still did very well with 9.70 million viewers and 3.7 on the demo. And that led into a new high for How I Met Your Mother and 9.84 million viewers, and an excellent 4.3 on the demo.
Last week it was a tie, and this week - while and having almost 9.5 million less viewers - How I Met Your Mother beat Dancing With The Stars on the demo. Clearly things are doing well for CBS. On NBC it might not look it, but it was good news as well. Chuck had half a million more viewers than last week, and a new season high with 6.80 million viewers and 2.6 on the demo.

(S04E08) Here’s the thing : this little show has been around for a few years now, and during that time we were lucky enough to enjoy so many stroke of brilliance with episodes filled with lots of creative plots and other unusual story-telling devices like flashbacks, flash-forwards and other, that I think in the end we might have gotten were much used to it.
Tuning in to How I Met Your Mother, we don’t expect to be watching just another sitcom, but something so different and unique - as well as hilarious - that when they “only” deliver a good episode — one that is good, and funny too, just not great, hilarious or so very unique as can be with the show — then we found ourselves a little disappointed.

I don’t get it, I really don’t. The show has been having a good season so far, so why would they want to ruin How I Met Your Mother again ??
Yes, I say again, because unless you ask a CBS exec anyone will tell you Britney Spears was a disaster on the show last season, it was horrible and even more so the second time around. And quite frankly, as delightful as Sarah Chalke might have been at first, pretty soon the whole plot about Stella turned black and went nowhere fun, or funny.
The show is assured to be renewed for another season already, thanks to syndication deal, so why in Barney’s name would they agree to go down that awful road again ?? It’s just not good for the show, at all, too much crazy for not enough hot.

Shows: How I Met Your Mother
By fred | November 11, 2008
After Mondays with special programs due to elections or baseball, last night was finally a regular Monday, something we haven’t seen in three weeks. And in the end, results are pretty much the same for CBS and ABC, but both NBC and Fox are going down.
At 8.00 the CBS comedies prove once again how strong they are, The Big Bang Theory scoring a new series high and reaching 10 million viewers (10.01 million) for the first time ! In fact, during that first half-hour the comedy was also the number one show on the demo, as Dancing With The Stars only pulled a 3.8 by then. That led into How I Met Your Mother also doing very well, a little lower in viewers (9.71 million) but stronger on the demo (4.1)

(S04E07) Last week things were odd in How I Met Your Mother land, because the episode felt like just another sitcom with the big “let’s hide under the table” trick. So I was expecting a lot better this week from this little show, I was expecting to see it back to its very unique style and, now that (finally!) Stella is out of the picture and we can forget about Ted’s quest of the love of his life, maybe focus on the real mysteries of the show.
I have to say that in the end, I’m not sure sure how I feel about this episode, I’m having very mixed feelings. On the one hand we had things that are typical of this great show, things that worked very well and were absolutely hilarious - in short, Neil Patrick Harris - but at the same time, some other things didn’t work out that well for me, starting with the main plot.
