"Terminator's" Thomas Dekker Strikes a Pose

The young actor who had his "Heroes" role 'de-gayed' and who recently told Life & Style Magazine former co-stars Milo Ventimiglia and Hayden Panettiere's relationship was "gross," strikes a tummy-showing pose at a "Terminator" promo shoot in Sydney, Australia.


Dekker's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" co-star Summer Glau joined in on the Bondi Beach shenanigans. Later, the couple were snapped at Bondi Icebergs, one of Sydney's best restaurants.


Other stars of Warner Brothers TV shows like Jensen Ackles of "Supernatural," Kathryn Morris of "Cold Case" and Ed Westwick of "Gossip Girl," also took part in the press junket at the iconic beachfront venue, promoting their shows for Australian networks like Channel 9, Network Ten and Foxtel.

Did week #2 of "Gossip Girl" live up to its strong season premiere? Was the return of "Sarah Connor" a success? And did FOX's "Prison Break" get better or worse after last week's dismal return? Monday night results are in.

Good news for The CW; not so good news for FOX. The 20th episode of the teen soap scored 3.16 million viewers, down from 3.38 million it lured to the netlet for last week's Hamptons-based premiere.

The episode was however 2nd best ever in key demos and it built its 18-49 audience from a year-ago telecast by as much as 45%. I'm sure Parents Television Council will be thrilled about that.

As for FOX's "Sarah Connor," the Terminator series was back with only 6.34 million viewers, down from 7.98 million it pulled in for the 2-hour 1st season finale on March 3.

The show did win its timeslot among adults 18-49. Will it do equally well when NBC's "Chuck" gets back into the prime time mix?

Finally, Terminator's lead-out "Prison Break" actually managed to build a little on these numbers and tie CBS sitcom repeats in adults 18-49.

But with only 6.48 million viewers tuning in, the show is still down a million from last year and down 3 million from season 1. This may indeed be the final year for "Prison Break", especially if "Fringe" and "Dollhouse" do well.

Ratings: Monday (3/04/08)

Was the 1st season finale of FOX's "Terminator" a winner or a stinker? Monday's ratings, a click away.

"Terminator" rose from last week's disappointing 7.12 million to 7.98 million. Although this is still below the season average of almost 9 million viewers, the show should get a second season.

Meanwhile, even the night-winning 20/20 royal family special could not help ABC's "October Road." Let's hope that next week's season finale will be the last we see of the cheese-fest.

ABC:
8:00pm 20/20 (14.16 million)
10:00pm October Road (5.30 million)

CBS:
8:00pm How I Met Your Mother (R) (6.85 million)
8:30pm Welcome to the Captain (5.63 million)
9:00pm Two and a Half Men (R) (9.91 million)
9:30pm The New Adventures of Old Christine (8.24 million)
10:00pm CSI: Miami (R) (9.36 million)

NBC:
8:00pm My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad (7.27 million)
9:00pm Deal or No Deal (10.80 million)
10:00pm Medium (9.11 million)

Fox:
8:00pm Terminator: Finale (7.98 million)

CW:
8:00pm Gossip Girl (R) (1.39 million)
9:00pm Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious (1.69 million)
