Figures in grey represent repeats.
* The nerds of “Big Bang Theory” beat for the second time in two weeks ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” to emerge again as th night's number-one.
* The “Jon & Kate” series finale hit a season high, garnering bigger numbers in 18-49 than NBC’s “Trauma” and “Leno.”
* “Castle” and “HIMYM” also hit season highs.
* While the "Leno" numbers are flattening, the show remains mired in its customary fifth place at 10 p.m. Monday behind ESPN's "Football," CBS' "CSI Miami," ABC's "Castle," and USA's "Raw."
* “House” lost some ground to ABC’s big “Dancing With The Stars” Monday-edition finale.

can't wait for this to happen to the college bowls now that ESPN has all the BCS games.
-
HIMYM Slapsgiving ep wasnt as good as last years... but that slap was priceless
-
now we could just get some of the characters from that show to make random guest appearances on other shows to deliver slaps.
-
They only market the guests.
-
na I rather have Allyson slap a certain guy named JW who keeps workin wit companies who like to dick him on Fridays.......
-
Arnold and Gaga. And still only a 1.4? Ouch.
Big Bang Theory was solid. The last two episodes have been good, didn't like the ones before that this season much and not just because Penny has become slobby looking. -
Well apparently you flunked Logic 101 because you fail to understand why MNF dropped so much in their ratings the past two weeks. Its not because of the cable network, its because those weeks featured incredibly horrible matchups in BAL/CLE and TEN/HOU.
-
Will dominate this week. No one cares about Ten and Houston.
-
Hang in there, baby!
-
...and this episode of JON & KATE PLUS EIGHT was NOT the season high. The first episode of the season attracted over 10 Million viewers.
-
Man that show really deserved a talkback this season. Dexter and S.O.A. are the best things of the fall. Can not wait for next weeks finale!
-
I love it!
-
Sheldon Cooper is the best thing since Niles Crane. I love shows that do not assume the audience are all morons. Well, I'm a moron, but watching this makes me feel smart. So there ;-)
-
Suck it herc

Fuck me, that's hysterical!

SO WHY DOES WWE SAY THEY GET MORE VIEWERS THAN NFL
by supercowbell5thecowbellhasspoken
WHEN THIS CLEARLY SAYS OTHERWISE?
-
"Sheldon Cooper is the best thing since Niles Crane"
Spot on... I like your train of thought.
Aside from that, Katee in a bubble bath was pretty great too. ;) -
Here's a brilliant idea: lets piss off longtime fans of the show by firing one of their favorite characters for no fucking reason. I used to love this show, now I couldn't give two shits about it. I'd rather watch Leno, and that's so sad I could cry.
-
It can't last.
Sheldon is the unsung hero of Big Bang Theory.
Wasn't Cameron fired from House because of the real-world situation with her Chase-playing co-star?
And it was kinda cool to see touches of Dark Willow in HIMYM, but I didn't care for the story much. What is Americas obsession with the "I love you Dad" plotline? Seriously! -
MNF has gone down dramatically since the 4 letter network took over. Yes, the cle/bal matchup was just painful to watch, but the Hou/Tenn game was ok. Seems just about every game that has aired on Sunday Night Football on NBC has been great. The worst part about ESPN is that they don't care that big bang theory is ahead in the ratings because MNF is just a tool for them to get subscribers.
-
is one of the best shows on tv still
-
It's all about who's playing. When New Orleans and New England play this coming Monday it's not going to be close. The last to Monday night games were ass and that's why they weren't watched.
-
She's still in the credits isn't she, she will most likly be returning in a few weeks. And house is better then ever, the team is practically perfect as is and having Kirk's mom back would only make it better, and if she is gone for good then it's not the worst cast change the show has had to deal with...remember when Kumar shot himself with no lead up at all, i know Kal penn just kinda left acting for a bit to work for obama, but the show could have comeup with a better ending then having the character off himself
-
Subscribers? Since when did you have to subscribe to ESPN?
-
It always depends on the matchups and storylines and always has (since the advent of more than 3 networks). The Vikings-Packers game this year was the highest rated show in the history of cable television, and I wouldn't be surprised if this week's Pats-Saints game beats it.I can't believe that I am currently a Patriots fan until next week. Go Pats!
-
Like last week's nobody? Or the week before that's nobody? Or was it the week before that's nobody?Now the episode before that had Wil Wheaton as this week's had Katee Sachoff, but let's look at those highly marketable guest stars from the first 4 weeks of the season before the Wil Wheaton episode... Hmm, there was nobody, nobody, nobody, and nobody.So, two out of 9 episodes have had guest stars. I can totally see your point.
-
The show is getting good again. Please bring it back Herc!
-
All the staff turmoil is pretty annoying...but I guess that serves as a distraction to hide how UTTERLY FUCKING PREDICTABLE the show is/has been. Allow me to write a script: Man/woman collapses & is rushed to hospital...House snarls at team as they discuss symptoms and run first batch of tests....they agree on prognosis #1 they try a drug/therapy...patient seems better, but then develops scary new symptom...more bickering, one staff member suggests prognosis #2 & begins treatment, though others disagree...others go to patients residence for insane/illegal search for obscure clues...patient doesn't respond to treatment #2 and develops new, even SCARIER symptom..."IT'S LUPIS!!"...Lupis treatment almost kills patient...patient is told they're gonna die...House get epiphany from looking at a waffle or something...epiphany-based treatment cures patient...House hurls cute innuendo at Cuddy. Finis...WHERE'S MY EMMY?
-
Whoooo! Hoooo! Heroes beat Jon and Kate Plus 8! NBC beat that ratings goliath TLC! It is a sad state of NBC and Heroes when people aren't even comparing their ratings to CBS, ABC, or Fox; but The friggin Learning Channel. It is only a matter of time before we are comparing Heroes' ratings to the Test Pattern Channel.
-
I actually enjoyed it, but it was the Titans vs. Texans. Not exactly a ratings getting marquee match up. I agree that Saints/Pats should win the night.
-
She's being paid up until the end of the season.
For someone who claims to have the inside track on so many things, you're remarkably ill-informed about well known facts in the real world. -
Could be a smokescreen- saying she's "fired." Those showrunners are cagey muthas. Odds are she was let go, but it wouldn't surprise me if they brought her back either. Hooray HOUSE!
-
You forgot: Immediately reject possibility it is auto-immune. Perform ultimately unnecessary surgery. Start patient on chemo as a last resort. Pull them off chemo at the last minute when the eureka solution presents itself.
This season has SUCKED. It needs a serious fix. Characters don't even make sense any more.
-
Don't think I didn't see your stupid ass talking about "lowest Heroes ratings evuh!" in the Sunday ratings TB.
-
Amen to that last sentence. I liked the little game House was playing with Cuddy, but it was only fun for one, maybe two episodes. House's little crush on Cuddy seems to be this year's story arch, though. Wake me when it's over, please. I'm hoping they surprise us and bring the Chase thing back. That seemed to be going places. But right now, it's getting pretty boring.
-
roll your own.
-
begins with almost incestuous pairing of the lead characters into implausible, character bending relationships.
-
Big Bang has handled Sheldon & Penny's pairing very well...Barney & Robin on HIMYM...I Dream of Jeannie was still good after she married Major Nelson (WOW...where did THAT come from?). It only sucks if they a)draw it out FOREVER (I'm kinda worried about Shaun & Jules on 'Psych'...their 'will they/won't they' is getting tedious) and/or b) the writers go overboard & treat the pairing like it's a huge deal..skewing whole episodes around the pairing instead of just working it into the stream of things. Again, Big Bang is one of the best examples I've seen of how getting the leads together does NOT have to ruin a show.

Two mitigating circumstances precluded me from posting...
by pennsydeux
I'm still putting a review of a test screening of When in Rome (saw it at UPenn's Zellerbach Theater on the 18th) and goddamn, Assassins Creed 2 is like crack. It's a great, addictive videogame. Couldn't stop playing it all week.
Heroes has settled into a place where they'll never again get more than 5.5-6m viewers, hovering around a 2.3 or so in the 18-49 demo. House is starting to piss off viewers (that started, I think with Jennifer Morrison getting ushered off the show for reasons surpassing understanding. Next week's Heroes is the last of the decade (show goes dark for all of December) and will end its season on 2/2, barring any late episode order increase from 19 to 22 or whatever. -
I think you mean Leonard and Penny on The Big Bang. Sheldon and Penny would be the ruination of that show.
-
I made an odd observation. I found that he sounded like Wolowitz from Big Bang Theory. They have a very similar way of delivering their lines.Of all of House's employees, I've liked Chase the least. A bit disappointed, if someone was to go, it wasn't him. However, I did like what they did with his character this week. Using House to get everyone else off his back. Plus, the episode had House playing games with Cuddy, as usual, but her doing it back to him.
-
...was the best in a long time. All three plots (Chase, House, the patient) were interesting philosophical discussions that had thoughtful endings. I'm glad Cameron is gone. She had to leave. House is beyond listening to the nagging of conventional morality telling him he's "bad."
-
Is the gross misuse of Lucas. Why the fuck would you bring back a character that had incredible chemistry with Laurie a year ago and relegate him to BOUNCING A FUCKING BABY AROUND IN ALMOST EVERY FUCKING SCENE HE'S IN. LOVE the fact they brought him back. HATE the way they've gone about it so far. Total fucking buzzkill.
-
first, they set up cuddey's relationship with lucas a LONG time ago. it was brief and very easily forgettable, or very easy to assume that cuddey wasn't interested. When you think about how long ago lucas asked cuddey out, then it makes perfect sense that he is close to the baby... he probably wasn't at first, but enough time has passed to where its very believable. And in addition to that, he's always shown taking care of the baby because cuddey has a job that takes up ALOT of time whereas lucas's job is flexible enough (time wise) to make him the extremely logical choice for taking care of cuddey's baby.
-
She didn't look hot at all last night.
-
was CRAZY in nip tuck... i will forever remember her as incredibly psychotic from her arc in nip tuck, not as starbuck.
-
Exclamation point!! Exclamation point!! Exclamation point!! Even when a show gets canceled. It's like a rote-knee-jerk response by the aicn writers at this point.The only person I know that uses exclamation points this much is my friend that is always repressed by over-tries to show how great she's doing.
-
That could be why she left and her real-life husband didn't.
-
For years, she was the most hated character from a pretty solid majority of the die hard fans. I used to like her, but her pitifully sanctimonious lecture in her last episode made me realize just how little she will be missed.
-
or something like that.
-
cameron was a bitch, neurotic, unlikable, mentally fucked up, emotionally fucked up, untrusting, holier than thou, not as hot as 13, drama queen and honestly i could go on and on, but i think i made my point. (while writing this its occurred to me how it has never been easier to list character flaw after flaw with words that honestly apply. it didn't occur to me how much i hate cameron until writing this post)
-
It didn't occur to me how much I hate Cameron until reading that post. Although to be honest, most characters in that show besides House and Wilson are varying degrees of unlikeable. In my opinion.
-
is shit.
-
John+Kate made 65K an episode on TLC. They were huge reality-tv stars. John hijacked that show and put it off the air with his stupidity. Now where are they going to get money like that? They have 8 fucking kids! they'll have to actually work again and both will be forgotten and John won't get to bang hot 19 year-olds anymore.
-
However, I have no delusions about the the lengths, and depths, a pseudo-celebrity like him will go to remain in the spotlight and cashing that easy paycheque. Or the rock-bottom of the barrel scraping E does when coming up with new "celebrity" "reality" shows. Wasn't there some talk of a Divorced Reality Dads show with him & Lindsey Lohan's father? And can you really call a 19 year-old, who looks like she's 30, hot?
-
Word must be getting out. This is the second season that should have been. Excellent!
