How good are those numbers for HIMYM? I would assume great, since they beat TBBT, and that show was beating HIMYM in ratings from what I heard.

Glad to see that even though HIMYM finished 2 million viewers below TAOOC, it beat it in the 18-49 demo.

Those are surprisingly strong numbers for HIMYM.

CSI: Miami is going to dominate next Monday when it comes back with a new episode.

New Amsterdam is doing okay with a little over 7M viewers. I'm impressed that it's building an audience out of Canterbury's Law.

It's saddening to see the two worst shows on TV (2.5 Men and CSI: Miami) doing so well in the ratings

Cant's Law will need a post-Idol spot if it's going to survive. Not unlike House, which had horrible ratings initially (first like 8 episodes) but blew up after a few post-Idol showings.

Kind of sad that Lost, a show I love, only got 12m viewers and was still the top ranking scripted show for the week.

First, What is MNTV?

Second, "Return of Jezebel James" did terrible. I didn't watch it, they pretty much lost me at "Jezebel."

MNTV is a station owned by Fox. In a lot of places, it took over for either UPN or WB when they became the CW. Station isn't even 2 years old yet, and is the lowest rated of the bunch.

Movieman: How is John Adams doing?

John Adams had around 2.65m viewers avg. for eps 1 and 2, not amazing but pretty damn good for a premium cable network premiere.

Kind of unusual -- Miss Guided scored exactly the same number of viewers from 8 to 830 and 830 to 9 yet shifted demo slightly

Lost is down slightly as usual, not sure if it's the show, the basketball, spring break, or what.

Well, IMHO, it's certainly not the show. This season is slowly shaping up to be my favorite season yet. Every episode has been awesome this season. One in particular is probably my #1 or #2 favorite episode through the run of the series so far.

Of course these are fast nationals so when the finals come in, I'd guess the 8:30-9 half hour will be slightly more.

And now it's not coming back until April 24th and at 10 pm. Has ABC not learned anything?
