Broadcast TV Ratings for Monday, February 25, 2008 February 26, 2008 3:16 pm

ABC’s Raisin in the Sun film gave the network a strong first place finish on the evening, with a consistent half-hour to half-hour performance through 11:00.

NBC meanwhile was a respectable second place on the evening thanks to another strong outing from Deal or No Deal, the nights most-watched series.

Elsewhere on the evening, despite coming no where close to the numbers it was getting post-American Idol, The Moment of Truth did fill in nicely for the departed Prison Break, however at 9:00 ‘Terminator’ hit another series low. I sure hope FOX finds a way to keep the show for another season, because I surely am enjoying it and would hate to see it last for only one season. It still performs well among the key A18-49 demo, so it’s not all bad.

The CW meanwhile languished in a now familiar last place, as the new edition of Pussycat Dolls Present failed to crack 2 million viewers, well below last season’s numbers. (more…)

ABC’s coverage of the 80th Annual Academy Awards led the network to an easy win on Sunday night, but year-to-year, the awards show was off by a disappointing 8.16 million or 20% among viewers and 24% among adults 18-49 (click here for a list of winners).

Elsewhere on the evening, Fox was the only major net to program effectively, with its two-hours of NASCAR coverage and repeats of The Simpsons putting the network in a solid second place finish for the evening.

CBS finished in third place for the evening, with Big Brother continuing to perform poorly, while another re-purposed episode of the Showtime hit Dexter showed promise in its second week, growing from its lead-in among adults 18-49. (more…)

A special presentation of Price is Right (the night’s most-watched program) pushed CBS to the front of the pack on Friday night among households and viewers, but strong repeat numbers for Bones and House on FOX put that network in front among adults 18-49.

Meanwhile, the series premiere of Amne$ia on NBC got off to an okay start, holding steady from its 1 vs. 100 lead-in among households and viewers and growing by 14% among adults 18-49.

ABC’s night was salvaged by solid numbers from two episodes of 20/20.

Broadcast TV Ratings for Thursday, February 21, 2008 February 22, 2008 1:25 pm

The first elimination episode of American Idol, and Don’t Forget the Lyrics!, led FOX to an easy first place finish on Thursday night.

Don’t Forget the Lyrics! was boosted by 3.84 million or 44% among viewers and a staggering 55% among adults 18-49 from its last newly aired episode thanks to its American Idol.

Elsewhere on the evening, CBS got another great night from its mixture of repeats (CSI and Without a Trace) and an original episode of the latest installment of Survivor to finish in a competitive second place for the evening among total audience.

ABC’s Lost seems to have stabilized in its fourth week back on the air, as the series posted nearly identical numbers from the week prior. Also worth noting is that Lost was the second most-watched program of the evening, behind American Idol. Eli Stone also managed to stay even with last week episode, though its numbers still remain relatively low, as does its retention from Lost, especially among adults 18-49. (60% among households, 56% among viewers and 47% among adults 18-49.)

NBC’s numbers were nothing out of the ordinary with a solid performance from Celebrity Apprentice, though its declined in recent weeks. Lipstick Jungle also stabilized, but its numbers are too low.

The CW even got in on some of the good news for the evening. Supernatural, without the benefit of an original episode of Smallville leading into it, proved that it can stand on its own. The series improved by 8% among both viewers and adults 18-49.

FOX carries the evening with its two-hour edition of American Idol, featuring performances by the top 12 ladies. The maintained Tuesday night’s ratings, and grew from last week’s numbers by nearly 4 million viewers and 13% among adults 18-49.

Elsewhere on the evening, NBC followed in second place, same as the week prior, but saw some erosion in viewership, likely attributed to the second hour of American Idol.

CBS took third, but Big Brother, the networks only original episode on the evening, continues to do poorly. ABC took a hit, especially in the 9PM hour, where Supernanny declined by a steep 32% among viewers and 34% among adults 18-49.

And lastly, the season premiere of America’s Next Top Model on The CW got off to a poor start. The series declined by 1 million or 20% among viewers and 21% among adults 18-49. Considering this is The CW’s flagship series, this loss in viewership is very concerning. The loss, most likely, can be directly attributed to the presence of American Idol in the hour. Last season (September 26, 2007), ‘Model‘ didn’t have to go up against such stiff competition (FOX aired Kitchen Nightmares in the time period).
