Ratings (Monday, 2/26/08)


A remake of "A Raisin in the Sun" starring P.Diddy (or whatever his name is these days) scores for ABC, while "Terminator" hits a new series low. Plus, did "Moment of Truth" remain a blazing success without its "American Idol" lead-in? Monday's ratings, a click away.


Ironically, although "Terminator" was regularly exceeding "Prison Break's" figures, now that the Panama-based drama has finished its third season, "Terminator" has lost a considerable chunk of its audience hitting a very dangerous series-low.

Meanwhile, the show's hideous lead-in "The Moment of Truth," which has been running out of steam since its headline-grabbing debut performance, did reasonably well pulling in 8.59 million viewers, but nowhere near its 23+ million debut.

Over on CBS, it is now clear "Welcome to the Captain" is a bomb and should not make it onto the network's 2008/2009 schedule.

ABC:
8:00pm A Raisin in the Sun (12.71 million)

CBS:
8:00pm How I Met Your Mother (R) (6.29 million)
8:30pm Welcome to the Captain (5.34 million)
9:00pm Two and a Half Men (R) (12.18 million)
9:30pm The New Adventures of Old Christine (9.09 million)
10:00pm CSI: Miami (R) (8.69 million)

NBC:
8:00pm Deal or No Deal (15.33 million)
9:00pm My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad (7.81 million)
10:00pm Medium (7.60 million)

Fox:
8:00pm Moment of Truth (8.59 million)
9:00pm Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (7.12 million)

CW:
8:00pm Gossip Girl (R) (1.28 million)
9:00pm Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious (1.72 million)

The show is too expensive to make. They may give it another shot next season, but the numbers need to go up again.

Josh Friedman: "You know it’s not actually an expensive show to produce. In fact, I think we’re below the budget of many action shows that are on TV right now. In fact, our budget is much more in line with your basic drama that you would find on any network. So I don’t think that cost at this point plays much of a factor."
