ABC 1.8/4.9; #5. 0.7/1.9 Week 11 (Dec. 3-9) Analysis: The first full week of December had a mix of new and repeats, but still plenty of new episodes going on, including many fall finales. Through the final first four night averages CBS has the lead in 18-49 and total viewers. NBC is in second in both measures, while ABC is a close third in HH/viewers. Fox has the edge for third place in 18-49, but is back in fourth for HH/viewers. When the week is done, NBC will probably come back and take the week in 18-49 once again thanks to the NFL tonight over CBS. Fox has the NFL overrun tonight, so they could make a run for possibly second place in 18-49. More on that later. As for last week, week 10, NBC and CBS were tied for first in adults 18-49, half a point higher than third place ABC. Fox was back in fourth. Among total viewers, CBS took that crown by itself, while ABC was second. NBC was a close third. Fox was well back in fourth. Monday had NBC on top in adults 18-49 and total viewers. But starting with ABC, as Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars - The Finals is on hiatus til March, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition - Holidays is airing 8-10pm this December. 8pm hour did 4.23 million but just a 0.9 18-49 rating, down four tenths in 18-49 from previous week's first airing, which was at 9pm. Part two followed at 9 with 4.61 million and a 1.0 18-49 rating, down two tenths in 18-49 from previous week's second airing, which was at 10pm. A new holiday episode of Castle followed at 10pm and built from its poor lead-in doing 8.5 million and a 1.7 18-49 rating for a season low. For NBC, they were first place with a two-hour The Voice doing 12.11 million and a night best 3.9 18-49 rating, but down three tenths in 18-49 from previous week. The holiday special Blake Shelton Christmas followed with 8.88 million and a 2.7 18-49 rating, down just two tenths in 18-49 from previous week's fall finale of Revolution. That show is off the schedule until late March, which is not a good idea, I think. Next up was CBS with new episodes, as How I Met Your Mother did 8.26 million and a 3.1 18-49 rating, down two tenths in 18-49 from the previous week. A repeat of 2 Broke Girls followed and did 6.72 million and a 2.2 18-49 rating, but down a full point in 18-49 from previous week's repeat of Big Bang. A new 2 Broke Girls followed with 10.17 million and a 3.5 18-49 rating, which is down six tenths in 18-49 from previous week as the lead-in was lower this week. Next, a new Mike & Molly garnered 10.23 million and a 3.1 18-49 rating, which is down five tenths in 18-49 from the previous week. A new Hawaii Five-0 at 10pm did 9.32 million and a 2.3 18-49, on par in 18-49 week-to-week. Fox was next with a new Bones doing 7.29 million and a 1.9 18-49 rating, down five tenths in 18-49 from previous week. A new episode of dud The Mob Doctor did only 3.26 million and a 0.8 18-49 rating, down three 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 990,000 viewers and a 0.5 18-49 rating, on par in 18-49 with previous week. And a new Gossip Girl followed with just 790,000 viewers and a 0.3 18-49 rating, which is horrendous and down a tenth in 18-49 from previous week.
