An evening without a Rihanna-esque interview is just your typical boring Friday night. CBS’ lineup easily held off its contenders to win both the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer (8 million, 2.0/7 in 18-48) was on par with last week.
- Law & Order (7.5 million, 1.7/6) dipped by a 1/2 milion.
- Supernanny (5 million, 1.4/5) raised another 200,000.
- House* (3.5 million, 1.1/4) was off by 400,000.
- Smallville (2.7 million, 1.2/4) lost 100,000.

MONDAY (11/9)
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): “Charlie and Alan wake up together…with a woman they don’t recognize.” Strange, but significantly less awkward than two and a half men.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “Ray Langston of the Las Vegas crime lab arrives in Miami to investigate after a severed leg found in the Everglades is discovered to belong to a girl who disappeared in Las Vegas a week earlier.” Horatio + Morpheus = sunglasses showdown.
- Little People, Big World (TLC, 10pm): “Jake gets his own cell phone for his 12th birthday, and before long he racks up an outrageous bill, making Matt and Amy question whether he s ready for the responsibility.” The Learning Channel is not known for highlighting responsibility—in pre-teens or fathers of eight.

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.

- The Rachel Zoe Project (Bravo, 10pm): Season finale. “More stress comes in the form of a disenchanted Taylor, who threatens to walk away from Team Zoe for good, triggering a relapse or Rachel’s vertigo.” Employees—you put them on a reality show, and they’re still never satisfied.
