Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, ER, Grey's Anatomy, My Name Is Earl, Survivor, The Office, Ratings
Despite little assistance from it’s lead-in, Grey’s Anatomy saw its best numbers since the season premiere. Unfortunately, the series couldn’t keep CBS from taking its fourth Thursday in a row.
8pm
- Survivor: Gabon (12.6 million, 4.0/11 in 18-49) dimmed by 400,000.
- Ugly Betty (8.3 million, 2.5/7) plunged by 900,000.
- My Name is Earl (6.8 million, 2.6/7) lost 200,000; Kath & Kim (5.5 million, 2.3/6) picked up 400,000.
- Kitchen Nightmares (2.0/5) served up 4.7 million.
- Smallville (4.8 million, 1.9/5) added on 400,000.

ABC Cancels Dirty Sexy Money, Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cancellations
What I feared would probably happen has now just come true. ABC has given the ax to Pushing Daisies. And Dirty Sexy Money. And Eli Stone.
Although an earlier draft of the midseason schedule hinted at this possibility, it was unclear at that time whether the shows were simply going on hiatus. Now we know the sophomore programs will wrap up production after 13 episodes. (If and when those hours will even air is another matter.) While no one is officially using the word “canceled,“ it’s unlikely these titles will see any significant ratings boosts in the weeks to come.

Wednesday Ratings: Pushing Daisies Clinging to Life
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America's Next Top Model, House, Ratings
As hard as it is for me to admit, it looks like my darling Pushing Daisies will soon be pushed out the door. Despite an Obama bump for its last outing, the show couldn’t maintain the audience. Yesterday’s episode even performed lower than the last unassisted show. CBS had a good evening though. Season high numbers for the two comedies gave the network wins in both categories last night.
8pm
- Bones (10.7 million, 3.1/9 in 18-49) easily won its hour.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (2.5/7) and Gary Unmarried (2.7/7) both attracted 8.1 million.
- Knight Rider (5.1 million, 1.5/4) lost 200,000.
- Pushing Daisies (4.9 million, 1.7/5) was off 1.9 million from the last episode.
- The finale of America’s Next Top Model (4.8 million, 2.3/6) had it’s best audience in about a year.

South Park’s Last Hurrah: A Big Screen Sequel
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Cable, Gossip
When Trey Parker and Matt Stone decide to pull the plug on South Park, they won’t quietly fade from the scene with a single half-hour TV stint. These two comedy masters will say good-bye in a way the fans can appreciate (and spend a lot more money on): with another big-screen version of the show.
Don’t worry, avid Park fans, the show isn’t scheduling to end itself anytime soon. Parker and Stone are signed on with Comedy Central until 2011, at which time they may or may not decide to renew their contract.
“We talked about maybe some day doing a movie to sort of end it all, and that seems like the best idea,” said Parker to the press recently. “That’s been a big thought, to do the last show as a movie.”

Monday Ratings: Season High for How I Met Your Mother
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, Prison Break, Ratings
What a difference a few months makes. Last May, CBS was still deciding whether to renew How I Met Your Mother. This November, the comedy has shown considerable growth. Last night, HIMYM‘s new season high helped its network take the win with the demos. ABC, in the meantime, was again on top with the viewers.
8pm
- Approximately 19.7 million watched the final four compete on Dancing with the Stars (4.2/10 in 18-49).
- The Big Bang Theory (9.7 million, 3.7/10) was off by 300,000; How I Met Your Mother (9.8 million, 4.3/10) hit a new season high.
- Chuck (6.8 million, 2.6/7) added on 600,000 more.
- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (5.3 million, 2.0/4) was up slightly.

Sunday Ratings: Obama Still a Big Draw
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Amazing Race, The, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings
Nearly two weeks after the election, President-elect Barack Obama is still drawing record numbers. Last night’s interview on 60 Minutes attracted approximately 24.5 million, the show’s best numbers in 9 years. This performance helped CBS win the night with the viewers, though it wasn’t enough to take the demos from NBC.
8pm

- The Amazing Race (12.3 million, 3.4/8) was off by 1.8 million.
