« Today's News: Our Take
Ratings: CMA: Nashville Can't Top CSI: Miami
Monday's ratings stories of note:
— ABC's presentation of the Country Music Awards averaged 15.9 million total viewers for the night, besting all comers 'cept the 10 o'clock hour's CSI: Miami (16.5 mil).
— How I Met Your Mother (8.43 million) dipped a full 1.3 mil from its last fresh outing (which, to be fair, was its second best of the season), while lead-out The Class (7.7 mil) had another 400K absentees.
— Fox's Prison Break (8.62 mil) was down 300,000, and lead-out Justice (5.81 mil) slipped 700K.
— After two weeks of record highs, Heroes came back to earth with 14.33 million viewers, down 400-thou from last week.
— Welcomed back by an audience of 7.78 mil, Studio 60 was up a tick from its last outing, but shy of the 8.29 mil Friday Night Lights tackled as an Oct. 30 fill-in.

Matt: Are total viewers down, or does it just seem that way because of the shows you've highlighted lately? It seems to be a recurring theme over the last couple weeks. Thanks!

And to be fair to Studio 60, the Friday Night Lights on Oct. 30, those numbers were against reruns on other networks, so its not truly fair to say that FNL did better than Studio 60.

The shows faced bigger competition last night, since the CMA Awards get much better ratings than ABC's usual pathetic lineup. I think that can explain the viewer loss in the other shows.

Yes, FNL went up against a rerun of CSI: Miami & got better ratings than Studio 60 gets when up against a NEW CSI:Miami only my a smidge. NBC also promotes the he*l out of FNL as opposed to Studio 60 which rarely gets any promotion at all. Therefore comparing these 2 shows is competely unrealistic.
