TV Ratings: Monday (11/26/07)

"Samantha Who" moved to its regular timeslot at 9 pm last night and immediately lost the "#1 Comedy on TV" title. Since there will be no "Dancing" lead-in next week and the show will air opposite the "Heroes" fall finale, ABC may have a reason to be worried. Meanwhile, it appears FOX was right - the writers' strike has actually helped it reach higher ratings with an all-rerun Monday night line-up.

A rerun of FOX's blockbuster "House" did as well (or even a little better) than what regular timeslot occupant "Prison Break" normally averages. A rerun of the lead-out "Bones" however did much better than a new episode of FOX's freshman drama "K-Ville."

Meanwhile, there is more trouble on the ABC front. The Alphabet's 10 pm drama "October Road" (Geoff Stults, pictured above) which launched its second season on Thanksgiving pulled in only about 6 million viewers finishing behind NBC's "Journeyman."

ABC:
Dancing with the Stars (24.74 million)
Samantha Who (12.62 million)
Notes from the Underbelly (8.25 million)
October Road (6.02 million)

CBS:

"October Road" to Premiere on Thanksgiving

ABC has just confirmed the premiere date for season 2 of "October Road" and announced Friday night schedule change.

"October Road" will get a special second season premiere on Thanksgiving Thursday, November 22 at 10/9c after an all-new "Grey's Anatomy."

The show will then move to its regular timeslot Mondays at 10/9c the following week on Monday, November 26.

That same night "Samantha Who" will move to an earlier timeslot to make way for a new season of "Notes from the Underbelly."

The network has also announced that "Men In Trees" will swap its timeslot with newsmagazine 20/20.

The shows were flipped this year because ABC was hoping "Women's Murder Club" audience would stick around to watch "Men in Trees" at 10 p.m.

The family hour is however a much better solution for the Anne Heche-fronted drama which has averaged about 7.5 million viewers so far this season.

Friday, November 2
8/7c "Men in Trees"
9/8c "Women's Murder Club"
10/9c "20/20"

Thursday, November 22
8.7c "Ugly Betty"
9/8c "Grey's Anatomy"
10/9c "October Road" (Special Night)

Monday, November 26
8/7c "Dancing With the Stars" (Season Finale, Part 1)
9/8c "Samantha Who?"
9:30/8:30c "Notes from the Underbelly"
10/9c "October Road"
