Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America's Next Top Model, House, Medium, Ratings
Every once in a while a move to Fridays isn’t such a bad thing. Although some shows have been known to fade away, CW’s Smallville actually hit a season high with the 18-49s this weekend. That performance, of course, didn’t keep CBS from winning in both the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer (8.3 million, 2.0/7 in 18-49) was down by 200,000.
- Law & Order (7 million, 1.4/5) also fell by 200,000.
- Supernanny (4.8 million, 1.3/4) added on 100,000.
- A 2-hour House* repeat (3.8 million, 1.2/4) did better than last week’s programming.
- Smallville (2.6 million, 1.2/4) picked up 100,000.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, House, Ratings
NBC needs some help, stat! Yesterday’s series premiere of Trauma did nothing for the Peacock network’s health on Mondays. The medical drama pulled in numbers smaller than last fall’s stinker, My Own Worst Enemy. By night’s end, ABC was on top with the viewers while FOX was 1st in the demos.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (16.7 million, 3.7/9 in 18-49) slipped by 800,000.
- House (14.4 million, 5.7/15) had the evening’s best demos.
- How I Met Your Mother (8.7 million, 3.6/10) was down 500,000; Accidentally on Purpose (8.1 million, 3.1/8) lost 900,000.
- Heroes (5.8 million, 2.5/6) gave up 200,000.

Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, House, Gossip, Rumors

Star of the hit medical drama House, British actor Hugh Laurie claims that he has developed health issues from the fake limp he portrays on the show.
“The show might last through to series seven, eight or nine but I don’t know if I will because I’m starting to lose my knees. It’s a lot of hip work. There are things going badly wrong. I need to do yoga.”
