“Castle” (10:02-11:00 p.m.) (info via ABC)
For the 2nd consecutive week, ABC’s “Castle” outperformed NBC’s “Jay Leno” in the 10 o’clock hour with its largest margins to-date in both Total Viewers (+5.5 million viewers – 9.4 million vs. 3.9 million) and Adults 18-49 (+100% - 2.4/6 vs. 1.2/3). The sophomore drama saw week-to-week increases among Adults 18-34 (+6% - 1.8/5 vs. 1.7/5) and Women 18-34 (+10% - 2.3/7 vs. 2.1/6), posting season highs in both measures.
Meanwhile, The Big Bang Theory was up a tick from the early numbers with adults 18-49 (via CBS):
The Big Bang Theory (7.7/12, 12.73m) was tied for first in adults 25-54 (5.8/13, with FOX), second in adults 18-49 (4.7/11) and adults 18-34 (3.5/09). The Big Bang Theory built on its Two and a Half Men lead-in by +4% in adults 25-54, +7% in adults 18-49 and +17% in adults 18-34.
via NBC:
At 8 p.m. ET, “Heroes” averaged a 2.5 rating, 6 (down from a 2.6 in the preliminary numbers) share in adults 18-49 and 5.9 (down from 6.2 in the preliminary numbers) million viewers overall in a highly competitive time period that includes Fox's World Series coverage, CBS's comedies and ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." In the time period, "Heroes" is the #1 non-sports telecast on the major networks in men 18-34. "Heroes" is one of the most time-shifted shows on television, adding 32% to its 18-49 rating so far this season when going from these next-day "live plus same day" ratings to "live plus seven day" figures. In total viewers, HEROES adds 1.5 million viewers to the previously reported "live plus same day" results when "live plus seven" ratings are released

Yay for Castle!
Robert that link is wrong you’re missing a T in Twitter
Cullen, yikes. Twiter indeed. Fixed (and Travis JUST posted the full finals, which I have now added above, too).
I think they should keep Trauma around, the show has a chance if put behind Mercy.
Castle not dropping is good news.
Looks like MNF affected the World Series’ ratings a little bit.
Ouch- Trauma dropped to a 1.9- looks like NBC was right to cancel it.
Ouch Trauma dropped .2 and is that a Monday low for Leno?
The Monday Night Football game airing on the NBC affiliate in one of the local markets boosted Trauma in the preliminary numbers.
I think a 1.2 is a new Monday low for Leno and tied with the overall low.
Trauma drops .2? Good thing they pulled the plug.
Castle looks better for a 3rd season. Not aguarantee, but better. Some season highs after a series low for a Monday DWTS, that bodes well for a 3rd season.
Even if Trauma didn’t drop, a 2.1 wouldn’t justify it staying around.
The Big Bang Theory is the only CBS sitcom to go up in the finals. Up .1. Great job.
Dangit! Oh well at least Heroes was even with last week. NBC is probably indirectly happy that Trauma fell 0.2.
what does he % coverage mean?
@Robert:
The New Orleans-Atlanta MNF game was on NBC in the New Orleans market. The Saints pull great ratings.
Make a note.
Monday Night Football, locally next week 11/9:
Pittsburgh: WTAE 6 ABC
Denver: KTVD 3 MyNet
Thursday Night Football (NFL Network), locally 11/12
Chicago: WPWR 8 MyNet
SF: KBCW 12 CW (the new VampDiaries episode will air at 9pm)
Tony, NBC’s national broadcast normally is available in 98% of the US, but last night since the local NBC affiliate in New Orleans ran the Monday Night Football game, NBC’s coverage dropped to 97%. I didn’t see the data Travis is citing, and I’m sure behind the scenes of what he saw there is rounding involved, but the bottom line is Heroes, Trauma and The Jay Leno show were available to ~1% fewer homes than normal.
Tony, coverage means what % of the nation had the show available.
In case you’re wondering,
“Dancing with the Stars” will air in Pittsburgh on Tuesday 11/10 at 9 A.M. to 11 A.M.
The new “Supernatural” episode will air in SF on Saturday 11/14 at 8pm.
3.92 for Leno. I’m loving it.
J.R. Which episode and why? Also good for Castle and lets hope they get better and a 3rd season. Castle is the one show my whole family watches and i dont want to lose that.
That’s good to see Castle didn’t tick down. I think that’s happened two or three other times this season.
