Monday, September 24 Ratings

Starting with this blog post, I will be recording and reporting the daily TV ratings as they come in.

The numbers in the parentheses are the amount of viewers in millions.

• 8pm
• NBC: The Voice (11.93)
• CBS: How I Met Your Mother (8.66)
• FOX: Bones (7.34)
• ABC: Dancing With The Stars (14.58)
• 8:30pm
• CBS: Partners (6.50)
• 9pm
• CBS: 2 Broke Girls (10.02)
• FOX: The Mob Doctor (3.96)
• 9:30pm
• CBS: Mike & Molly (9.31)
• 10pm
• NBC: Revolution (9.29)
• CBS: Hawaii Five-0 (7.97)
• ABC: 11.38 (11.38)

Only NBC improved on it's ratings from one year ago, thanks to returning hit "The Voice" and launch hit "Revolution". Both fell from their debuts last week, but held the most male viewers 18-49 years old, which is the most important demographic in television.

On CBS, all the sitcoms fell in viewership from last year's premier, due to the lack of powerhouse anchor "Two And A Half Men", which will be on Thursday nights this year. "Hawaii Five-0" at 10pm has had the biggest drop off so far of a returning show.

On FOX, "Bones" fell from it's premier last week, but was rated higher than it's follow up, "The Mob Doctor", which is the least watched new show of the season, and likely to be cancelled in the coming weeks.

On ABC, "Dancing With The Stars" received less viewers than last year's start, as well as cult favorite show "Castle". Their respective drop off's were .8 and .7 of an 18-49 point. One 18-49 point represents 1,159,000 viewers in the key demographic.
