ABC’s Dancing With the Stars spoiled the party for a slew of shows offering their season finales Monday in primetime, drawing a preliminary 21.4 million viewers and a 4.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic. It provided a solid lead-in for the season finale of Castle, which got a 3.3 rating at 10 PM, and gave ABC an easy win on a night where the broadcast networks didn’t have to compete against the NBA playoffs.

Fox’s House was one of the few shows to withstand the Dancing heat, posting a 3.5 rating, up 17% from last week and its highest demo number since March 21.

As for CBS, How I Met Your Mother closed its season with a 3.0 in the demo, the show’s lowest-rated finale since Season 2. The series finale of canceled Mad Love (2.1) and the season finales of Mike & Molly (2.5) and Hawaii Five-0 (2.5) all grew a couple of tenths.

NBC’s Chuck (1.5, up a tenth) and the CW’s 90210 (0.8) and Gossip Girl (0.7) also wrapped their season runs.

RATINGS RAT RACE: NBC Freshman Monday Dramas Up, Still Low

How underperforming is NBC Monday’s lineup? Even if the other networks air color bars in primetime, it probably won’t crack the 1.5 demo rating mark. With CBS and Fox largely in reruns last night, NBC’s originals The Event and Law & Order: Los Angeles both drew a 1.3/3 in 18-49. … Read More »

RATINGS RAT RACE: CW Monday Dramas Return Higher, NBC Lineup Hits Season Low

It was another sad Monday ratings performance for NBC, which hit another season low on the night with all original programming. Chuck (1.3/4) was even with last week, tying its series low. But it also delivered NBC’s highest demo rating last night. The Event (1.1/3) was down 13% from its last original two weeks ago for a series low. And the relaunch of Law & Order: Los Angeles continues to sputter. In its second week since the series’ return last Monday, the Law & Order spinoff drew a 1.1/3, down a steep 27% from the two-hour midseason premiere last week. Such an underwhelming performance bodes well for David E. Kelley’s Harry’s Law, which did better in the slot earlier this midseason.

ABC’s Dancing With the Stars performance show (3.9/11) was down 13% from last week to rank as the lowest-rated spring performance telecast ever for the venerable reality franchise. In its special airing after Dancing, a new Cougar Town (2.3/6) was down 15% from its last original Feb. 2. Proving that comedy series do better in a block, even with a weaker lead-in, that last original followed a Modern Family repeat. The first of a slew of specials about the upcoming Royal Wedding, ABC News: William & Catherine: A Modern Fairytale, averaged a 1.7/4 at 10 PM. Read More »
