TV Ratings (Tuesday 18th November)

Winners...
Honorable Mention...
Decent...
Losers...
Round-Up...
A night of winners for most shows with only two real losers for the night, which is something of a rarity this season...
CBS won the night in viewers and prove they are immune from the audience drop this season though I still feel CBS would love to perform better in the demo as all 3 shows loss in that area, despite winning two of the 3 slots in total viewers. Some people have pointed out that Without a Trace could be in danger as SHARK got similar ratings like year and was cancelled due to the demo but I think CBS are more than happy on how the former friday night show is doing though I think it would better suit Sunday 10pm better to partner Cold Case and allow The Unit to move.
FOX won the demo thanks to the solid partnership of House/Fringe, which will be boosted in the midseason with the return of Idol. I am still curious to see if Fringe could hold that audience at 8pm because I know House would do better at 9pm away at NCIS and Fringe is a hit with the 18-49 demo so should be able to handle NCIS.
ABC started well with its DWTS run but has major problems at 10pm with Eli Stone securing it's 3rd lowest ratings to date, the other two lows came last season, which begs the question why was it picked up for a 2nd season. Sadly ABC have decided to give Eli Stone a 17 episode 2nd season so far to date, those spare weeks would of suited better to BL's final season.
NBC had nothing to complain about for a change with The Biggest Loser doing good work against strong oppostion and I was impressed with the strong demo showing. SVU I think is NBC's top rated scripted show this season with only 10 million, not bad for SVU but also shows you the problems NBC are in.
90120 was up from last week but still below 3 million and for me CW should of made 90120 partner with Top Model this fall. Privileged is a total flop and I cannot understand why it has been given a full season

Well it only got picked up for 5 more episodes instead of the full back 9, so it will most liekly be gone soon.
And I thought Eli Stone would be safe, but with numbers like that maybe they should suck up and pick up Boston Legal for a full season so they have a lawyer show.
I'm sad to see such a quality show as Eli Stone struggling so badly. It always leaves me with a smile on my face when I watch it. A for Privledged.. Joanna Garcia is smoking hot as the lead actress si I watch it an am usually entertained. She's got looks and good comic chops.
Im sad about the Eli Stone ratings. I really like that show. I was happy it got second season. Oh well hope its a good ending.

That's good. It's stupid reality TV but at least it does some good in the world. You guys got an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition show too? Everyone should have those types of reality shows instead of that Big Brother/Survivor/Dancing/Singing/Deal or No Deal crap.
I don't watch Eli Stone but I always root for creative genre shows to survive anyway.
Yeah I always give Biggest Loser a pass. It's the only reality show where everyone is better off in the end.
we have had a UK Biggest Loser before but not on Freeview, this version is. Dont know if we got a UK Extreme Make Over: Home Edition, its possible but again not on freeview. as for BigBrother, Survivor, Dancing, Singing & Deal or No Deal, we have all of those shows, in fact it was us who created "Dancing With the Stars" (as you guys call it) and the Idol format, Survivor was a total flop, but kinda lives on in Im a celebrity get me out of here, whilst Big Brother & ALL its spin-offs continue to air.
