Spotted Ratings, Monday 4/18/11


WHAT MATTERS:
  • Monday wasn't quite as freaky as Sunday in terms of underperformance, but it was still another generally rough day. Dancing with the Stars dropped 11% week-to-week (though that's more like 5% if you just compare the 8-9:30 periods), while a special 9:30 airing of Cougar Town hit its second-lowest number of the season. As I like to stress, don't read too much into special airings. We'll have a better sense of the show when it returns to its regular period tomorrow night. But it is just a tick better than a repeat of The Middle in a similar role back on 11/15/10. A special 20/20 on the royal wedding did worse than any original Castle this season.
  • CBS' lineup was close to flat week-to-week but at disastrous levels as the lack of Two and a Half Men continues to wear on everything. (Hawaii Five-0 rose in the finals, benefiting from the stronger Mike & Molly lead-in and the absence of Castle.) How I Met Your Mother tied its series low number from about five years ago.
  • Any hope for Law & Order: LA was probably crushed with that number, down 27% from its already weak return.
  • In more "return from long hiatus" news, 90210 was up a tick from its last original while Gossip Girl was even.
