Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, ER, Grey's Anatomy, Survivor, Ratings
Last night, viewers came out of the woodwork to say goodbye to NBC’s long-running drama. ER‘s series ender attracted the largest audience for a drama finale since Murder She Wrote in 1996. (It also pulled in the best demos since the conclusion of The X-Files in 2002.)
8pm
- Survivor: Tocantins (11.2 million, 3.6/11 in 18-49) saw its smallest audience of the season.
- The ER retrospective (3.5/10) got 10.6 million warmed up.
- Bones (2.6/8) turned in 9 million.
- In the Motherhood (5 million, 1.6/5) lost 1.7 million; Samantha Who? (4.8 million, 1./4) gave up 1.7 million.
- Smallville (3.8 million, 1.6/5) was up slightly.

MONDAY 3/30)
- Greek (ABC Family, 8pm): “Casey returns from her summer internship with secret plans to move out of her sorority house.” Unfortunately, she couldn’t wait to change her Facebook profile.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): “Charlie blows off steam by sharing a drunken night with Alan, Herb and his neighbor after Chelsea discovers nude photos of another woman on his cell phone.” Kinda makes you wonder what Denise Richards has on her ex.
- Rules of Engagement (CW, 9:30pm): “Jeff and Audrey lie to get out of Jennifer and Adam’s dinner party in favor of a better bash.” Fondue parties are so 5 years ago.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “Ryan is kidnapped and forced to betray Horatio and the team.” Cue Horatio lowering glasses in disappointment.

Thursday Ratings: Samantha No Better Than Betty
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, American Idol, ER, Grey's Anatomy, My Name Is Earl, The Office, Ratings
If ABC was hoping to make some improvements to its Thursday night ratings, the network might have to try again. In the Motherhood and Samantha Who? tied Ugly Betty‘s previous demos while averaging a smaller audience. Meanwhile, a rare Thursday appearance of American Idol gave FOX a win in both categories.
8pm
- American Idol (7.4/21 in 18-49) rang up 22.4 million.
- NCAA basketball (10.1 million, 3.5/9) rallied 700,000 more.
- The premiere of In the Motherhood (6.7 million, 2.1/6) tied Samantha Who? (6.5 million, 2.1/6) in the demos.
- My Name is Earl (5.9 million, 2.0/6) fell by 500,000; an early episode of The Office* (4.8 million, 2.1/5) was up 200,000.
- Smallville (3.7 million, 1.5/4) added on 400,000.

College sports coverage proved to be both a winner and loser for CBS last night. Although the NCAA tournament didn’t earn the network another double win last night, the court action did score a tie in the demos with ABC. (The Alphabet was the sole winner with the viewers.)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, NBC, ER, Video
Love George Clooney but grown tired of ER? If so, here’s your chance to simply watch last night’s highlights.
In the vet-filled episode, Carol Hathaway (Julianna Margulies) and Doug Ross try to convince a grieving grandmother (Susan Sarandon) to let her dying grandson go. Coincidentally, there are two patients back in Chicago (one being Dr. John Carter) who are in need of organs from the 16-year-old boy.
After watching the clips, let us know what you think. Will Dr. Ross always be Seattle’s resident McSteamy?

Thursday Ratings: ER Still Fourth Despite Clooney
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, ER, Grey's Anatomy, My Name Is Earl, Survivor, The Office, Ratings
George Clooney might be able to schedule meetings with high-ranking politicians, but he can’t save a whole network. Even though ER saw its best audience in two years, NBC only tied for third in the demos and placed fourth with the viewers last night. (The winner in both categories was CBS.)
8pm
- Survivor: Tocantins (12.9 million, 4.1/12 in 18-49) rounded up 900,000 more.
- Bones (2.8/8) returned to 9.6 million.
- Ugly Betty (7.2 million, 2.1/6) rose by 800,000.
- My Name is Earl* (4.4 million, 1.7/5) and the finale of Kath & Kim (4 million, 1.7/5) tied in the demos.
- Smallville (3.7 million, 1.6/5) added on 1.5 million.

Taylor Swift isn’t just a big concert draw, the country music sensation is a ratings hit as well. Swift’s stint on CSI helped give the CBS program a nice boost on Thursday night. Unfortunately, that other musical hit (a.k.a. American Idol) was also around to do its thing.
8pm
- American Idol (21.2 million, 7.5/20 in 18-49) picked up 500,000.
- Survivor: Tocantins (12 million, 3.8/10) slipped by 300,000.
