ABC’s Wednesday lineup - a victim of last year’s writers strike - had a large hurdle to overcome last night. Unfortunately, the viewers were not where the Alphabet network left them. The audiences (along with the demos) were all over at CBS.
8pm
- Bones (9.8 million, 3.1/9 in 18-49) tacked on another 200,000.
- Knight Rider (7.6 million, 2.4/7) got 300,000 more revved up.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (6.9 million, 2.0/6) and Gary Unmarried (7 million, 2.2/6) were both up 200,000.
- Pushing Daisies (6.3 million, 2.0/6) was off 55% from this point last year.
- America’s Next Top Model (4 million, 1.8/5) was down a notch.

Casting Corner: Boston Legal, CSI: NY, House and More
Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:
- CSI: NY: To celebrate its 100th outing, CSI: NY will be doing it old-school Terminator style. In the sweeps episode, several guest stars - including Rumer Willis, Daughtry and Scott Wolf - will become targets of a serial killer. In the original Terminator, women named Sarah Connor became Arnold Schwarzenegger’s targets. This time around, the suspect is aiming to knock off those named Mac Taylor. (That would be the name of Gary Sinise’s character.) You can expect the star-studded episode to air on November 19.

Season premieres: The Big Bang Theory, Boston Legal, CSI: Miami, Dancing with the Stars, Heroes, How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, Worst Week
- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Special two-hour premiere. “The season begins with 13 new celebrities.” Any time a reference is made about Kim Kardashian’s butt or cut foot, take a drink.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): “Charlie runs into an ex-girlfriend whose son bears a striking resemblance to him.” As if Charlie Sheen really needed to get involved in another custody issue.
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): Special two-hour premiere. “Suresh makes an important breakthrough.” It’s taken him two seasons to realize how boring his character is.
- Worst Week (CBS, 9:30pm): Series premiere. “Disaster-prone Sam Briggs, and his girlfriend, Melanie, visit her parents – who don’t like Sam – to tell them that they are engaged and expecting a child.” It’s always good to get the disappointing news out all at once.

8pm
- America’s Got Talent (11.5 million, 2.9/8 in 18-49) grew by 1.3 million.
- Bones (8.9 million, 2.9/9) slipped by 800,000.
