Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Amazing Race, The, Apprentice, The - Donald, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings
Okay - let’s try this again. After a week full of Nielsen ratings delays, we’re getting back to business. Thanks to a slate full of finales, CBS had a hold on the viewers last night. ABC, in the meantime, won the oh-so-important demos. (It should be noted though that both networks were beat in the 10:00 hour by NBC’s The Celebrity Apprentice.)
8pm
- Approximately 10.4 million watched Tammy and Victor win The Amazing Race (3.0/9 in 18-49).
- The Celebrity Apprentice (3.1/9) averaged 8.7 million over three hours.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (2.6/8) nailed down 8.2 million.
- The Simpsons (2.5/8) had 5.2 million laughing; King of the Hill (1.8/5) pulled in 4.1 million.

This Week on TV (5/11-5/17)

(You can view TV Envy’s Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY 5/11)
- Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm): “Serena’s run-in with the police upsets Lily.” She only expected her daughter to be cuffed and shamed, not frisked and strip-searched.
- Weaponizers (Discovery, 9pm): Season premiere. “An RV takes on a shuttle bus, after the teams equip them with rockets, machine guns and medieval weapons in this reality series featuring vehicle face-off competitions.” The only thing missing in this equation is Jason Statham.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9:30pm): “Alan and Chelsea bond, and their time together gives Charlie a needed break to do the things he loves doing on his own.” A wingman can help you score a woman….and keep her busy too.
- Medium (NBC, 10pm): “After Allison slips into a coma while working on a case, her spirit transfers into the body of a middle-aged man (Jeffrey Tambor).” The sexual reassignment process was much easier than the one Alexis Arquette went through.

James L. Brooks, series producer, said the event is “surreal.” The five new stamps were revealed Thursday at the FOX lot in LA.

MONDAY 4/20)
- Dhani Tackles the Globe (Travel, 9pm): “The host attempts the Gaelic sport of hurling in Ireland.” Despite what you might believe, drinking is not involved in hurling. At least, not in in this case.
- Table for 12 (TLC, 9pm): “Eric and Betty take the entire brood to the dentist.” Betty had been threatening to give them “something to scream about.”
- Ax Men (History, 10pm): “Jimmy finds a once-in-a-lifetime log.” That’s all any mom can hope for. Right after seeing their son get married and welcoming their first grandchild.
- The Hills (MTV, 10pm): “Heidi and a relucant Spencer begin couples therapy.” Spencer had been hoping to meet with Dr. Phil, but he was too busy with the Octo-mom.

Earlier coverage of The Masters golf tournament (and its convenient overrun) lifted CBS to a victory on an otherwise slow Easter Sunday.
8pm
- 60 Minutes/The Amazing Race (3.0/9 in 18-49) combined for 11.8 million.
- A 2-hour Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (9.4 million, 2.9/8) pulled in another 2.3 million.
- An expanded Dateline (6.4 million, 1.6/5) did better than the recently-moved Kings.
- The Simpsons* (4.7 million, 2.2/7) dropped 1.7 million; King of the Hill* (2.0/6) turned in 4.2 million.
- CW’s airing of Cutthroat Island (0.3/1) registered 1.4 million.

Sunday Ratings: Music Awards Has CBS Singing
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Apprentice, The - Donald, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings
Either country music is in its prime, or viewers weren’t interested in a Housewives repeat. Whatever the reason, the ACMAs were hot last night. Yesterday’s broadcast had its best demos since 2005 and its largest audience in 11 years.
8pm
- The Academy of Country Music Awards (3.8/10 in 18-49) drew in 14.8 million for CBS.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition* (7.1 million, 2.2/6) was down 3.7 million from last week.

- Kings (3.6 million, 1.1/3) gave up another 800,000.
