The CW 0.4/1.1 Week 30 (April 9-15) Analysis: Week 30 had mostly all new programming (minus most of CBS Thursday). Through the first four nights, CBS is in top in HH/viewers, but it is Fox on top in the more important adults 18-49. CBS is second in adults 18-49, while Fox is second in HH/viewers, just edging third place ABC. ABC is third in 18-49, just ahead of NBC. NBC is a distant fourth in HH/viewers. When the week is over by tonight, it could be as it is right now. More on the prediction of week 30 below. As for last week, week 29, CBS took home both HH/total viewers crown and the 18-49 crown. ABC was second in HH/viewers, while Fox was second in 18-49. ABC was third in 18-49, while Fox was third in HH/viewers. NBC was fourth across the board. All of this was just like the previous two weeks. On Monday, it was NBC with the edge. First, on ABC, Dancing with the Stars started it off from 8-10pm doing a first place 16.39 million and a 3.0 rating, up a tenth from previous week. At 10pm, Castle was preempted for an encore of the Scandal pilot that did 6.21 million and a 1.2 18-49 rating for more sampling. For CBS, a new episode of How I Met Your Mother did 8.0 million and a 3.5 rating, which is s0lid but a season low. A new episode of 2 Broke Girls followed with 8.78 million and a 3.5 18-49 rating, still good but this was its series low. A new Two and a Half Men followed at 9 with 10.4 million and a 3.6 rating, tying a series low. The only bright spot of the night was Mike & Molly, which was also new and did 9.58 million and a 3.2 18-49 rating. At 10, a new episode of Hawaii Five-0 did 10.3 million and a 2.6 18-49 rating, which is solid for 10pm. Fox started off the night with Bones doing 7.56 million and a 2.2 rating, down three tenths from the previous week. House was new at 9 with 6.01 million and a 1.9 rating, down four tenths from previous week and a series low. NBC started it off with a two-hour The Voice and did a second place 10.52 million and a first place 4.0 rating, which was down a tenth from previous week. Then at 10pm week ten of critical darling Smash was next doing 5.99 million and a 2.0 18-49 rating, which down a tenth from previous week and a series low. It's coming back for a second season anyway, but the show is pricy, so it needs to do better. The CW aired an all-new Gossip Girl and did just 980,000 viewers and 0.5 18-49 rating, on par with previous week's pathetic ratings. A new Hart of Dixie followed with 1.2 million and a 0.5 rating.
