Ratings Breakdown:
ABC led the overnight troops on this seventh Monday of the 2011-12 season, followed by CBS, Fox, NBC and a night of repeats on The CW. But four of the five networks (excluding CBS) were down by double-digit percentages year-to-year. Fox’s erosion stems from Game 5 of The World Series airing on the year-ago evening.
ABC opened with annual animated holiday special Scared Shrekless at a second-place 6.1 rating/10 share in the overnights at 8 p.m. That led into a 90-minute installment of Dancing With the Stars at an 11.8/18 from 8:30-10 p.m., with the half-hour breakdown as follows:
Dancing With the Stars (ABC)
8:30 p.m.: 10.8/17 (#1)
9:00 p.m.: 11.9/18 (#1)
9:30 p.m.: 12.6/19 (#1)
One year earlier, Dancing With the Stars was stronger at a 13.9/20 in the Monday 8-10 p.m. block on 11/02/10. As for who is most likely to depart tonight, Nancy Grace is the one who should be going. But my pick is goofy David Arquette.
Dancing With the Stars led into crime solver Castle at a dominant 8.8/15 in the overnights at 10 p.m. Comparably, retention out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of Dancing With the Stars was 70 percent.
In series-premiere news, Rock Center With Brian Williams, NBC’s first regularly scheduled newsmagazine since Dateline launched in 1992, finished a very distant third at 10 p.m. with a 3.3/ 5. Although that miniscule 3.3 rating did build from the 9:30 p.m. portion of lead-in The Sing-Off by 18 percent, canceled drama The Playboy Club opened in this hour on Sept. 19 with a stronger 3.9/ 6. One year earlier, special The Women of Saturday Night Live averaged a 4.3/ 7 in the time period on 11/02/10.
Lead-in The Sing Off remained out of the competitive loop, of course, with a mere 3.0/ 5 from 8-10 p.m. Here is the half-hour breakdown:
The Sing Off (NBC)
8:00 p.m.: 3.6/ 6 (#4)
8:30 p.m.: 3.0/ 5 (#4)
9:00 p.m.: 2.8/ 4 (#4)
9:30 p.m.: 2.8/ 4 (#4)
CBS’ two-hour sitcom block remained on the year-to-year plus side care of How I Met Your Mother (#1, 6.9/12: +17 percent), 2 Broke Girls (#2, 7.1/11: +29 percent from Rules of Engagement), Two and a Half Men (#2, 9.6/15: + 8 percent) and Mike & Molly (#2, 7.8/12: +11 percent). While this was a season-low for Two and a Half Men, the addition of Ashton Kutcher is still worthy of accolades. Hawaii Five-O capped off the evening for the Eye net with a second-place 6.7/11, which dipped by eight percent year-to-year.
Over at Fox, dinosaur drama Terra Nova finished third in the 8 p.m. hour, with a series-low 4.6/ 8. That led into deteriorating House at a 4.7/ 7 (#3) at 9 p.m. Needless to say, it is time for Hugh Laurie to find a new gig.
The CW capped off the evening with back-to-back encore telecasts of drama Ringer at a 0.6/ 1 from 8-10 p.m.

House gets the same old one sentence analysis every single week.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind so much if it had more weight, but after eight years the show is pulling in 4.7/7 on a competitive Monday night 9pm slot. It's not terrible, but considering what House is globally, I think it's more likely to be a creative decision to end the show than the fact it's getting terrible ratings
+1000
ReplyDeleteJeez, House needs to be put out of everyone's misery...
ReplyDeleteTheir description of Terra Nova is hilarious:
ReplyDelete"dinosaur drama Terra Nova"
I never ever thought I would ever read "dinosaur drama".
Looks like it's time to bring Lisa Edelstein (Cuddy) back to save House M.D.
ReplyDeleteCuddy and huddy are what essentially have been killing House the past 3 seasons. After last season's cuddy/huddy heavy season, they've lost too much of their audience and haven't been able to get them back. The show is much better than it has been, too bad there aren't enough viewers to watch it. If they wanted to make cuddy a costar, they should've just made a spin off show for her.
ReplyDeleteI stopped watching because Cuddy was gone and House's character is emotionally stunted. I don't care about "Huddy" but not renewing Lisa Edelstein's contract and having House nearly kill her family lost me as a viewer not the last 3 seasons. I liked House when he was trying to be more "human". But after last season and watching the writer's interview, it is clear that House will remain a one-dimensional character - self-centered prick and more of a sociopath than Dexter. It's fun to watch for a season or two but with no growth it gets old quick.
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm enjoying House's descent into ratings oblivion too much. Besides, DS would only degrade her character even further if she returned; she should stay away, there's nothing left for her at House. The only thing I'm looking forward to now is the show's cancellation (or finale season announcement). :]
ReplyDeleteHouse needs another House.
ReplyDeleteNote: that Halloween is a low-usage night for TV. It is not really surprising that the ratings are low for House. Terra Nova was a bad lead-in from the Beginning and House is suffering a bit from it. It seems the viewers don`t care for Dinos and start to watch the CBS comedys (this years Top-shows,btw) or Dancing at 8 o`clock and they don`t change the channel unimportant which show airs or LE is a part of House.
ReplyDeleteThey should House move back to the 8 o´clock where House is able to finish his final journey with probably not great ratings but with dignity. This monday 9 o`clock timeslot is insulting.
"House gets the same old one sentence analysis every single week. "
ReplyDeleteThank you Adam to say it. It is for Petes sake a post about ratings and not a review about House the show.
I agree with you. As much as I hated how "Huddy" was written, Lisa
ReplyDeleteEdelstein provided that bit of humanity, that now disappeared into thin
air. Also, 'ship' or not, the actors had a nice chemistry going on, and
House the character had more dimension. Now, apart from rare scenes with
RSL, it feels like Hugh is talking to a wall.
great rating for Castle, as always :D
ReplyDeleteOuch!!! H5O numbers getting worse time to get ride of Lori Weston!!
ReplyDeleteyay for Castle :)
ReplyDeleteIt would be a better show if it was the actual dinosaurs having the drama and storylines ha
ReplyDeleteHahaha.
ReplyDeletesee that? see that? that's what I'm talking about! so proud of Castle XD!
ReplyDeleteHouse MD it's only the USA. In the world are so many fans of the show.
ReplyDeleteTAHM down, down down
ReplyDeletewhy is castle under h50 if its tied in rating but castle has more viewers? Go Castle!
ReplyDeleteLetterman would say that the only reason CBS gets viewers is all the old people losing their remotes.
ReplyDeleteBut they're doing something right. Their ratings are solid, top to bottom.
They did that. Remember "NOTTHEMAMA"? Perhaps that wasn't a "drama" per se. . .
ReplyDeletecompletely agree, i mean i was a huddy shipper. even tho they destroyed that relationship i would of watched. but the show went down hill for me wen they didn't renew her contract, and the way the season finale ended. that was not house at all. DS keeps saying house doesn't change, but clearly he has, and in the wrong direction.
ReplyDeleteGuys, you're making a mistake. The show wasn't this good since season 3. Besides, who needs the grand total of 2 facial expressions Lisa was switching between during the 7 seasons she was there?
ReplyDeleteThat would be funny if it made sense, but I guess Letterman is one of those old guys
ReplyDeleteI feel like everything went down this day. I agree with you :
ReplyDelete"Needless to say, it is time for Hugh Laurie to find a new gig."
I'm writing from Spain and I stopped watching the show after giving then three chances this season. And I know more people here who didn't reach at the third episode...
ReplyDeleteI only opened this page to see if they are going better (at te bottom of my heart I love House, and it's hard to see them nosediving), and I can see it was terrible this week.
On the other way, Castle was so great!
Australia is done with House, check the ratings. It has dropped over over 50% from last season.
ReplyDeleteCastle FTW :D
ReplyDeleteHow I met your Mother. Number 1.. mmmm
ReplyDeleteHave a nice one..http://youtu.be/ov8FeODxyXU
