'Samantha' Soars, CBS Comedies Click
"Samantha" grabbed an identical Nielsen Media Research live-plus-same-day 4.5 rating/10 share on Monday--the same numbers it had a week ago. ABC also got some good news for its "Dancing With The Stars," which climbed 17% to a 5.5/13 over the week before.
This gave the network an easy win on Monday night--a 4.6/11, up from a 4.3/11 the week before.
CBS' early evening comedies improved nicely on the night: "How I Met Your Mother" rose to a 3.4/9 from a 3.1/8 the week before; "The Big Bang Theory" went north to a 3.5/9 from a 3.1/8; and "Two and a Half Men" inched to a 4.8/11 from 4.7/11. Slipping back a bit were "Rules of Engagement" and "CSI: Miami." CBS ended the night with a 4.1/10.
NBC dropped 8% on the night--to a 3.4/8 from a 3.7/9 the week before. Its mainstay "Heroes" gave up 6% to a 4.9/11. and rookie show "Chuck" dropped 12% to a 2.9/7.
With Fox taking a break from the baseball playoffs, it ended the night with an average 2.5/6 from "Prison Break" and "K-Ville." The week before, with baseball, it posted a 3.3/9.
CW's "The Game" continues to be its highest-rated comedy--it showed one-tenth of a rating gain to a 1.2/3. The network's new "Aliens in America" posted another 0.9/2. CW had an average 1.0/3 for its efforts on Monday.
MyNetworkTV took a 0.4 rating/1 share, up a bit from its 0.3 rating/0.7 share the week before for a "Celebrity Expose" original and an "Expose" rerun.
