Thanks for the update on Kyle XY. Wish we could somehow get ratings info much sooner. Its a great show, my favorite in fact, and I’d really like to rest easier knowing we’ll have a fourth season. Everyone go out and watch Kyle XY!!

I’m a very happy House fan!! But I’m a not so happy Chuck fan.. I hate that Chuck has to compete with my favourite show (house)

Is there not any way to get Kyle XY numbers before next week? We are all so anxious about the future of this remarkable show that just hasn’t been given a good chance to survive by ABC Family (no promotion for this season except a week before the premiere). If you could find out something for us sooner than the 27th we would be really grateful.

NBC is holding Chuck and Heroes for February because they’re launching their spring seasons the day after the Superbowl. Not a bad idea, but it will probably be too little too late given the stiff competition from the other networks.

I dont think so, The Bachelor has proved that doesnt need DWTS lead in. Castle will have the lead in of DWTS and thenm, the sitcom ‘In the Motherhood’ starring Megan Mulally.

FOX has a much improved Monday night and must be thrilled, but I bet even they didn’t expect such a strong battle from “The Bachelor.” This makes the third straight week of ratings growth for that little powerhouse. I wonder if ABC is planning to air the finale behind the return of DWTS? Right now it’s shaping up to be the highest rated Bachelor finale in years.

Well I’ll be damned… FOX was right about something. Viewers for House went up with the return of Idol… hope that translates all the way down to Friday night.

i really did hope that 90210 will be able to do better this week, but after seeing the huge decline gg and oth had last night, i wouldnt be surprised if it hit below 2 million tonight because of Idol.sigh =(

By: cool

wow with the Bachelor.. I’m gonna make a prediction.. I think The Bachelor will beat Heroes in 18-49 when Heroes comes back.

aw gossip girl!
why is the monday night and thursday night competition getting so heat up? i mean since when did HOUSE get to be on Mondays at 8?! I blame that stupid doctor for bringing my Upper East Siders down!!

I hope the CW continues to do well, Gossip Girl and Supernatural are both AMAZING.

By: Dan

Dan — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:50:12 +0000

why is NBC so terrible at promoting their television shows and more importantly…actually picking the right ones to air?

Does this mean it’s the end for Chuck? That would be SUCH a bad call to can it.

By: Jeff G

That NBC lineup is so strong the numbers should challenge WWE “rasslin” ratings.

By: stacy

Congratulations NBC! you are easily the stupidest network this season!!! Delaying Chuck & Heroes until February and putting some horrible reality shows in their place REALLY worked well for you. I bet if you’re really lucky Univision will beat you in total viewers sometime soon.

As for the CW, I can’t see how the network is going to stick around if there numbers don’t improve, it might be time for them to actually looking outside the young female demo and start making shows that can appeal to multiple groups OR at least promote the shows that actually already do that (Smallville and Supernatural

How long is Dawn Ostroff’s mismanagement of The CW going to continue? They should either replace her or shut it down

By: Julia

Julia — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:21:06 +0000

Vader, yeah, the problem the theory that that will make people watch it on TV, is that any FOX shows (including FX) that I really want to watch, I’ll just acquire in another way rather than wait to watch them legally. Their loss!

By: Unknown

Unknown — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:17:15 +0000

I hope it does get AXE!! The network is over. It was dumb for them to get rid of smackdown, Focus there demograph on teenage girls and they just dont have anything good. Cept for Everybody Hates Chris and Smallville.

By: Erwin

[b]Pff The CW is not looking good… I hope that The CW survive this but i think, at this time with the crisis The CW can get an AXE.. What do you think?[/b]

By: Vader

Vader — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:12:27 +0000

On a sidenote, why on earth does FOX insist on not putting House episodes online until 8 days after they’re broadcasting? This is why I wasn’t able to catch the whole first half of this season. I missed a couple episodes, looked for them online later, and they weren’t there. I’m assuming it’s to punish people so they’ll watch it more live? Like it needs it anyway…*eyeroll*

FOX really does have a tight schedule for the rest of the season. If they hadn’t made any changes, Dollhouse would’ve premiered last night, and now I’m pretty glad they moved it to Fridays because there is no way it could’ve survived.

I just hope both Dollhouse and T:TSCC do well Friday nights. I know the chances of TSCC getting a third season is slimmer than slim, but I hope the 5.0-5.5 million viewers stick with it. I’m hoping Dollhouse gets around 6.5-7.0m, but I think it’s unlikely. FOX better not have high expectations. This will be the best night on television, IMO.

By: Julia

Julia — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:05:09 +0000

Ah, you are correct. There were four episodes previous to this that were aired on Monday. Though this is only the second season that has ever happened, and it’s only happened once that other time, so that’s hardly “routinely once or twice per season.”

By: idizzle

idizzle — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:01:32 +0000

Julia, this is the first time House has been moved from Tuesdays THIS season. It gets tossed to Mondays routinely once or twice per season. Not to mention the 8pm, no 9pm thing FOX always does to it as soon as it has a new show that needs a lead in or to be tried out after Idol.
Anyway, House isn’t really sufering that much from it, it still does awesome demo numbers, got back some 2 million in total viewers since not being against NCIS and whatever it lost since S1 is to be expected with an aging show.

By: Unknown

Unknown — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:01:28 +0000

Personally, As much as I love Heroes and Chuck, This does not look good for them. They already been struggling so far, but now with House and 24 skewing the young audiance, this may be a serious issue. NBC may end up how fox was during the start of the season. Good shows that just losing viewers and viewers each week do to the serious competition on Monday nights.

By: johnthemon

johnthemon — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 20:56:34 +0000

I knew House and 24 together would be a dream-team. My big burning question is how will Chuck and Heroes be affected…hopefully not too badly.

Kyle XY fans: we don’t get overnight data for cable shows unfortunately and unless the numbers are otherwise released into the wild, we only see cable numbers on a weekly basis — typically Tuesdays.

In the premiere *last* Monday (1/12) Kyle XY did 1.5 million viewers and a .4 rating among 18-49 year olds. We probably won’t see the numbers for last night until 1/27.

I have been watching the bachelor and true beauty…I don’t mind either show to be honest…

Wow. Those numbers are incredible. Fox has been really smart this season. The House/24 combo is an incredible idea. And with Idol back, Fringe/Lie to Me with the idol effect and Bones at 8pm on Thursday, Fox might end up a good 2nd or even 1st place again. If only they can finally fix Friday night. I really hope they promote Dollhouse well enought to do good on Fridays.

Aww poor Gossip Girl. That is WAY TOO LOW.

Worst Week had terrible ratings, and I imagine they will only get worse when NBCs shows come back. Like I said before, it’s a shame because I find it really amusing. I also think Chuck will have similar ratings but Heroes will lose a lot.

I can see another 40m or perhaps more contract heading for Kiefer and the Gang if this keeps up

RG, this is the first time House has been moved from Tuesdays.

By: R.G.

I think House & 24 would be more of a Jauggernaut – if FOX would STOP moving House from night to night…!!!!

Now on it’s new night
Now on it’s new night
Now on its new old night…Knock it off !!!!

I do wonder why Monday and Thursday seem to be where the higher profile shows end up. I know there’s an element of ‘we must get viewers from other networks’ but surely counter-programming is the way to go. The CW puts it’s man programmes against ABC’s women programming and look how well that works.

Surely they could find a new home for young skewing Chuck and Heroes, against maybe older skewing NCIS and Mentalist?

By: Paul

Paul — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 19:08:45 +0000

Amazing numbers for the bachelor!

without worst week cbs should have a higher averageon mondays nights.

Heroes and Chuck will be vanished when they return. mi guess chuck under 6 and heroes under 7!

The following takes place between 8pm and 9pm (last night…)

Bauer & 24 = BOOM! Awesome episode…can’t wait until next week…

Clinko…Clinko…Clinko…

Once DWTS comes back, Monday nights will be even more cluttered. Too bad NBC will receive the short end of the stick.

Fingers crossed for a 3D boost for Chuck. Heroes, on the other hand, will see less viewers but still have solid demos. Medium will probably grab 2nd place for NBC.

Does anyone know how well MTV’s The City is holding up? Did ratings go up or down?

Poor Chuck. Poor Heroes.

By: Robert Seidman

Robert Seidman — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:45:46 +0000

how well The Bachelor is holding up seems to be an unheralded story, but it looks like the ship may have already sailed for True Beauty.

CW doesnt look good, the days of OTH/GG/90210 getting over 3m are over
Chuck is going to get killed when it comes back! NBC should move it to a night with less stuff on!! FOX did really well! as did CBS, im Surprised at how well ABC did :O

Go “House”! Good episode last night too. (Although someone needs to coach Lisa Edelstein to hold that doll like it’s an actual baby, and not go slinging it around. )

By: Robert Seidman

Robert Seidman — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:37:17 +0000

Ant, the premiere was just last Sunday and Monday, forgetting altogether about when WE might see the data, the live+7 data for Sunday won’t be available at all for at least another week, and the data for Monday a week after that.

By: Ant

Robert any news on the DVR numbers for the premier of 24? Thought they would be up by now

on a relative basis, House @ 8pm hit Gossip Girl hardest of all

By: Julia

Julia — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:22:52 +0000

Jimmy, the question, really, is what they’ll get in the demo against the new competition. I think Chuck will take the bigger hit than Heroes, but both will be hurting. At least Chuck is cheap enough that it might be able to survive it, but I still wonder how low Heroes can drop before it stops being profitable.

By: Jack

Jack Bauer! What are the biggest numbers 24 ever did? When was 24 most watched? Does anyone know?
