Wednesday Ratings: CBS Gets Last Laugh from Special

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America's Next Top Model, American Idol, Lost, Scrubs, Ratings

Watching people work ordinary jobs might not seem interesting, but it apparently is when celebrities do it. The April Fools’ Special, I Get That a Lot, surprised many last night by pulling in stronger than expected numbers.  Unfortunately, a win over Lie to Me wasn’t quite enough for CBS. Idol still put FOX on top for the night.

8pm

• I Get That a Lot (3.4/10 in 18-49) had 10.3 million laughing.
• Lie to Me (9 million, 2.6/8) was down 10% from the last fresh episode.
• Law & Order: Criminal Intent* (5.1 million, 1.2/4) did twice as well as The Chopping Block.
• Scrubs (5 million, 1.9/6) slid by 300,000; Better Off Ted (4.7 million, 1.8/5) remained steady.
• America’s Next Top Model (3.9 million, 1.7/5) grew by 1.1 million.

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.
