Mommas Boys ratings are better than I thought they would be, whilst True Beauty should have held more of the, the Bachelor audience than it did. A good night for Fox/24

 

[Dream]

So Two and a Half Men did better then 24? Is that supposed to be common?

 

[Trekker4747]

Well, I think many of us expected Prison Break to finish its run this year, but shuffling it to Fridays? Ouch!

 

[bigdaddy]

A canceled show will be a great lead in for Dollhouse!

Prison break isn't a shock, it was supposed to finish anyway. Just panicked when I saw the news, as I was worried they would just drop it, rather than let it finish up. For the few people watching at this point, Friday is as good as anything.

And to How I Met Your Mother! After years of struggling, and being a bubble show, it's killing in ratings and demo this year. Long deserved, it's a great show.

So... 24 Sunday was 12.52 million & 4.2/10, 24 Monday was 12.31 million & 4.1/10. Excellent retention!

Indeed, sort of expected, IMHO. We'll see how it holds up next week with House leading in.

Round-Up...

Once again TBBT set another record with HIMYM doing the same and finally the once bubble show is no more in danger and nice to see TBBT get a crowd after so many smart shows fail too. Worst Week however could be in some trouble and yes looking at the ratings you wouldn't think but CBS have given no indications that they want a 2nd season and the rumor mill before new year pointed that Worst, Week, Old Christine and Gary Unmarried are up for the block and maybe only one will be saved. If CBS are seriously considering opening up a 2nd comedy block for a non monday night, which btw I think is a bad idea...They should axe Christie and keep the other two for the simple reason that WW and GU are new shows with potential to bring in new viewers but Old Christine is not and the chances of doing what HIMYM has done this season are slim.

24 saw minimal loss from last night but over the course of the season am sure we will see erosion but nothing like 2 years ago I hope. NBC should shoot themsevles as should ABC who will realise The Bachelor will drop viewers soon and that True Beauty will NEVER EVER get BL's ratings.

As for CW, both shows are down from earlier in the season and since GG dropped below 3 million its staying on the losers list and the only reason OTH is not was because growth out of GG and above 3 million...FOR NOW.

its nice to be back ey

Opps, I forgot to say earlier...

Boston Legal would have gotten a lot more viewers for ABC. Just to rub it in ABC's face.
