The CW 0.8/2.0 Week 8 (Nov. 12-18) Analysis: November sweep action continues, with New York ratings finally being back this week. Through the final first four night averages, CBS has the lead in all categories for now. ABC is second in HH/viewers, followed by NBC and Fox. Among adults 18-49, it is a little different. NBC is in second, followed by Fox and ABC battling. When the week is done, NBC will likely take over win the week in 18-49 thanks to the NFL tonight. However, CBS has the NFL overrun tonight, so they could hang on to 18-49 after all. More on that later. As for last week, week 7, NBC won the week among adults 18-49 easily. ABC and Fox were tied for second, eight tenths behind NBC. CBS was fourth, but only a tenth behind ABC and Fox. Among total viewers, CBS took that crown once again. but NBC was close behind. ABC was a close third. Fox was well back in fourth. Monday was a typical night, we had NBC on top in adults 18-49, while ABC took the total viewer crown. Starting with ABC, a two-hour Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars did 13.79 million and a 2.1 18-49 rating, on par in 18-49 from previous week. Castle followed with 10.07 million and a 1.9 18-49 rating, also on par in 18-49 from previous week. For NBC, a two-hour The Voice, did 11.63 million and a night best 4.4 18-49 rating, but down a tenth in 18-49 from previous week. A new Revolution followed with 7.1 million and a 2.6 18-49 rating, down another two tenths in 18-49 from previous week for another series low. Only a few left before the big hiatus. Will this show go the way of other hiatus series from the past? Next up was CBS with new episodes, as How I Met Your Mother did 7.95 million and a 3.0 18-49 rating, up two tenths in 18-49 from the previous week's season low. A new episode of Partners did 5.48 million and a 1.8 18-49 rating, which is down three tenths in 18-49 from previous week, tying a series low. After that performance, CBS has now pulled it. Look for repeats through the end of December (with a new How I Met Your Mother hour on Dec. 17). A new 2 Broke Girls followed with 8.94 million and a 3.2 18-49 rating, which is solid and on par with previous week. Still should be doing a bit better. Next, a new Mike & Molly garnered 9.24 million and a 3.0 18-49 rating, which is up two tenths in 18-49 from the previous week. Almost close to retaining everything from its lead-in, nice. A new Hawaii Five-0 at 10pm did 7.96 million and a 2.1 18-49, up a tenth in 18-49 week-to-week. Fox was next with a new Bones doing 6.96 million and a 1.9 18-49 rating, down a tenth in 18-49 from previous week. A new episode of dud The Mob Doctor did only 3.01 million and a 0.8 18-49 rating, down two tenths in 18-49 from previous week for a series low. Are the 13 episodes up yet? The CW aired a new 90210 at 8 with just 1.16 million and a 0.6 18-49 rating, but actually up two tenths in 18-49 from previous week. And a new Gossip Girl followed with just 730,000 viewers and a 0.4 18-49 rating, which is horrendous but up a tenth in 18-49 from previous week.
