Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, CBS, NBC, Grey's Anatomy, Medium
Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:
CSI: Miami: No matter what you think of Diddy, you can’t deny the mans’ diversity. Who else could front several reality shows, star in A Raisin in the Sun and take on David Caruso? According to Entertainment Tonight, the mogul is scheduled to air in two episodes of the CBS drama next year. He will play a federal prosecutor (yeah, I know) who has a personal and professional beef with Horatio’s team.

Monday Ratings: Weak Premiere for American Gladiators
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, House, Medium, The Bachelor, Ratings
Why NBC chose to bring back American Gladiators at this time is beyond me. Had the show debuted after the latest round of finales, it might have fared better than fourth place. Meanwhile, ABC was another winner with the viewers while FOX was tops in the demos.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (18.3 million, 4.2/11 in 18-49) was the night’s most-watched show.
- Bones (9.4 million, 3.2/9) grew by 1.3 million.
- Britney Spears helped draw 700,000 more to How I Met Your Mother (9 million, 3.8/9); The Big Bang Theory (7.9 million, 2.9/9) tacked on another 300,000.
- The American Gladiators debut (4.9 million, 1.9/5) did about 1/2 as well as Deal or No Deal.
- Approximately 2.6 million tuned in to hear Serena’s big secret on Gossip Girl (1.2/3).

MONDAY (5/12)
Tonight’s finales: The Hills, Medium, Samantha Who?, The Bachelor
- American Gladiators (NBC, 8pm): Season Two premiere includes new gladiators (‘Rocket’ and ‘Jet’). Seriously, how intimidating could a smiling Gladiator be?
- Bones (FOX, 8pm): “When the body of an aspiring singer (Ace Young of American Idol) is discovered, Booth and Brennan probe a club’s open-mike night.” Uhh—which one was Ace again?
- Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm): “An embarrassed Serena resurrects some troubling old habits as she continues to hide the truth from Dan.” If he only knew she’d been sharing her jeans with three other girls.
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30pm): “Britney Spears returns as Abby, who is now dating Barney.” First Robin Sparkles, now Britney. I’m not sure if that’s a step up or down for Barney.

Monday Ratings: ABC, CBS and FOX Divide the Night
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Games, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, House, Medium, The Bachelor, Ratings
Thanks a dip in House‘s numbers, CBS was able to match FOX in the demos. Meanwhile, ABC was again the most-viewed network on Monday night.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (17.9 million, 4.2/12 in 18-49) remained fairly even with last week.
- Deal or No Deal (8.4 million, 2.3/6) had a 1.5 million decrease.
- How I Met Your Mother (8.3 million, 3.5/10) saw 500,000 tune out.
- Bones (8.1 million, 2.7/8) was down by 1.8 million.
- The Big Bang Theory (7.6 million, 2.8/9) was off by 600,000.
- Gossip Girl (2.1 million, 1.0/3) kissed 400,000 goodbye.

Monday Ratings: ABC and FOX Split Busy Night
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Games, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, House, Medium, The Bachelor, Ratings
The return of House made a dent in CBS’ numbers. While ABC was busy retaining its lead with the viewers, FOX was able to step up for a win in the demos.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (18 million, 4.4/11 in 18-49) was the night’s most-watched show.
- About 9.9 million watched Star Wars night on Deal or No Deal (9.9 million, 2.9/7).
- Bones (9.7 million, 3.2/9) grew by 1.1 million from last week.
- The Big Bang Theory (8.2 million, 3.0/9) improved by 700,000; How I Met Your Mother (8.9 million, 3.8/10) improved upon its lead-in.
- Gossip Girl (2.5 million, 1.3/3) was up by 100,000.

(You can view TV Envy’s Post-Strike Television Schedule here.)
MONDAY (4/28)
- Deal or No Deal (NBC, 8pm): “Darth Vader subs for The Banker in a Star Wars-themed episode that also features Carrie Fisher, R2-D2 and Chewbacca, who cheer on contesants in a winner-take-all match.” As if I needed a reason to avoid this program altogether.
- House (FOX, 9pm): New episode. “House suspects that an ER patient with a sunny disposition has a bigger problem than was initially diagnosed. The reason: He thinks the patient is too nice.” I have to admit it—cheery people are a freak of nature.
- Medium (NBC, 10pm): “Joe surprises Allison by buying her a used car, but Allison’s subsequent visions warn of the vehicle’s unsavory past.” Is it a 1958 Plymouth Fury that responds to the name ‘Christine’?
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “A clue in a case involving the discovery of a body point the CSIs to a robbery that’s being planned on a target who holds a disturbing secret.” Murders have never been linked to anti-climatic or lame secrets.
