From The Hollywood Reporter:
CBS won Monday night despite its overall average dipping this week.
The network’s comedies have settled somewhat since their return a few weeks ago, but continue to be competitive in their time periods. There’s “Big Bang Theory” (7.7 million, 2.9/8), “How I Met Your Mother” (8 million, 3.4/9) and “Two and a Half Men” (13.8 million, 5.3/13). Also, “Rules of Engagement” returned to match its prior average (10.3 million, 4.0/10). “CSI: Miami” was a repeat.
It’s a pretty big drop in viewers, but, like the quote says, they all dropped this week – Dancing with the Stars had its lowest ratings ever. Provided this is a low point and not part of an overall decline, it should be okay, especially with James van der Beek and more Robin Sparkles coming in next week.
