Fox’s House delivered a healthy showing last night with 14.7 million viewers, up 700,000 from the previous week’s airing. Its lead-out, 24, also saw a boost in viewership with 11.6 million, an increase of 400,000 from last week. Elsewhere, ABC’s Bachelor reunion special earned a solid 11 million pairs of eyes, the most viewers for a Women Tell All in the last five years. True Beauty ended its run with 7.6 million watchers, a slight bump from the previous week. Over on NBC, Chuck and Heroes both hit slumps, with neither series able to break past 7 million viewers.

It’s amazing how badly they treat Medium by always shelving it for midseason. Obviously it has a very loyal fanbase because it’s rating are better than Heroes at the moment, even though Heroes was more buzzed about initially. Also, The New Adventures of Old Christine benefited from lead-in Two-and-a-Half Men. I believe that its ratings for a repeat surpass those of its first run episodes in its current timeslot. Tbey should have never replaced its timeslot with Worst Week. It is a far better show, and it is much funnier. Another show poorly treated by a network despite critical acclaim.
NBC just cancel Heroes already, it’s embarrassing how many viewers it loses week to week!
Why are they showing repeats during sweeps?
Also when did EW stop doing a review of “House”??
