Ah, finally, Hawaii Five-0, starring Alex O’Loughlin has returned for it’s second season and the season premiere of Hawaii Five-0 had much along the entertainment value. But it also had moments of EP. That’s extreme predictability. But I’m not sure that the EP was avoidable in the Hawaii Five-0 episode titled “Ha’i'ole.”
The season premiere of Hawaii Five-0, pulled in just under 12 million viewers. It didn’t beat it’s competitor on ABC, Castle, but it beat everything else. Being beat by Nathan Fillion in Castle is acceptable to this website!

Moderate to Serious H50 Spoilers Ahead
As we all know/recall, the Governor is dead. Duplicitous in multiple layers of criminal behavior, the ilk of the criminal way caught up to her. But then Steve McGarrett was implicated in her murder.
I thought it was going to be a far stretch of connected story lines to get McGarrett out of this predicament, but through a few leaps of story-line faith, it actually happened!

Did your favorite TV show rank in the ratings last night?
NCIS pulled off a win last night and its spin-off NCIS: Los Angeles dropped a few viewers a bit from its lead-in, but still did well for the night. I’ve never really taken to the spin-off as much as the original. I’m guessing in this case, the spin-off just may not be CBS’s best bargaining chip for contract negotiations!
The Good Wife showed strong with what was left over from NCIS and then The Biggest Loser and “V” rounded out the top-five in ratings from Tuesday night.
Despite No Ordinary Family being a bit of fun, it isn’t fairing so well while Detroit 1-8-7 did better, these numbers aren’t something to write home about. (Remember, 1-8-7 is getting replaced in March by Body of Proof in March, starring Dana Delany.
Then there is the CW. Though low in numbers, One Tree Hill hit its own season high last night.
The word is that anything under a 5 rating is something that needs to worry about continued existence, yet networks like The CW sometimes can survive and aren’t upset with low numbers… They look inward and see how they compare with themselves. They’ve definitely enjoyed a strong market on Thursday and Friday nights… internally.
Break down:
I’m a bit late on this report! But since I’ve made a promise about racking ratings to somebody, here are the TV Ratings for the 3 days, from Sun Nov 14th to Tues, Nov 16th:
Broadcast TV
The huge TV Ratings winner was Sunday night Football which pulled in over 26M viewers. In fact that Sunday (Nov 14th) football dominated 4 of the top 5 spots, but The OT squeaked into the fray that night.
Monday night was conquered by the reality TV series Dancing with the Stars and NCIS dominated it’s Tuesday slot, beating out the DWTS results show.
CABLE TV
Football again. Monday Night Football dominated on its night but The Walking Dead showed it’s superior story telling as a draw to the next most watched show on Cable with just over 5M viewers, followed by some Alaska show giving it a run for its money.

TV Ratings for Sun through Tues saw the NFL (27.8) dominate prime time Sunday, DWTS (20.0) won Monday but NCIS trounced it on Tuesday with 19.8 m viewers.
On the cable side of things, Hannah Montana Forever (7.1) won Sunday, MNF (15.0) won Monday and Sons of Anarchy pulled in 3.2 million viewers.
Stargate Universe viewers are down to nearly one million flat, with maybe folks bailing on the show/network with its partner show Caprica having been canned. And as the ship’s crew finally discovered that Rush had been running the ship and no one is happy. The Col gave him an ass-whooping for it, to boot. Yea… the crew has finally taken their seats on the bridge. Now we’re going somewhere as they decide: Try to go home, or continue the quest of the ship and that’s discover what was in the middle of the big bang that started it all. Meanwhile, Syfy’s WWE Raw pulled a strong 4.6 million viewers in for the network.

TV Ratings

Last week on the broadcast networks Sunday Night Football dominated the charts with twenty-five million viewers, followed by Dancing with the Stars with just under 20 million viewers. In fact these two shows dominated the top four spots, followed by the World Series in the next three spots on the charts. Then finally, The Mentalist, a scripted drama showed up in the top-10, at eighth with 14 million viewers. It was an odd week with the huge sporting events that took place. Woo hoo, congrats to the SF Giants!
CSI, Criminal Minds, Blue Bloods and a repeat of NCIS made the top-20 shows. I had 81 shows total in the broadcast list. Smallville almost made 3 million viewers, which is up from the previous week. Supernatural stayed with around with 2.5 million viewers from the week before.
At the bottom of the list is Life Unexpected… they’re not getting the numbers and The CW has decided against picking up the final 9 episodes of the series… so fans are only going to get 13 episodes this season and there’s no word on the potential for renewal yet… though the signs aren’t looking great.
On the cable side of things, Monday Night Football on ESPN trounced everything with just under 12 million viewers and election coverage netted spots two through four. After that, the premiere of The Walking Dead trounced any other scripted cable drama with just over 5 million viewers. Check out my review of The Walking Dead to see what I thought of it.
Sons of Anarchy landed the 12th spot & HBO’s Boardwalk Empire netted 21st. Stargate Universe barely drew in a million people this last week.
I had 116 shows in my cable list.
Below are the top-25 spots on each and some select series that BruSimm enjoys during the week.

TV ratings for the 7-day week starting on October 20th didn’t see any real huge surprises as DWTS, NCIS, CSI, Criminal Minds and other Brusimm favorites that dominated the Nielsen TV ratings charts.
I think her name is Caprica, and she’s dead Jim!
The top TV broadcast of the week was Sunday Night Football, followed by CBS NFL Football! This week reality TV crawled up past scripted drama as Dancing with the Stars was the 3rd most watched show last week, even though NCIS had a 4 percent increase in viewers from the week before. (I am not tracking the % change in DWTS.)
CSI & Criminal Minds saw 3% more viewers and the huge viewer jump was with the Rocky Horror Glee episode which saw a 52% increase from the previous week’s repeat episode.
Blue Bloods & $#*! My Dad Says saw a 7% increase while Hawaii Five-0 had a 7% drop in viewers.
Other favorites that had good weeks was The Vampire Diaries which saw a huge 46% increase from the week before in viewers. While Supernatural’s story is getting pretty good in its sixth season, 15% fewer viewers got to enjoy it. Smallville’s final season episode last week saw a 23% drop in viewers.

I used to track TV ratings for another organization and had let it by the wayside, but I thought I’d give it a swing and see what kind of list I could come up with because I was curious about a few shows that I watch… And with that, I compiled a list and sorted it from most popular on down. Wow, were there some surprises? Not really.
Sunday Night Football on CBS takes the cake for the week of Wednesday, October 6th to Tuesday, October 12th with almost 21 million viewers. (I’m not too focused on any specific demographic, just overall.) Behind football is the reality TV show, Dancing With The Stars, which barely eeked out NCIS as they both pulled in 19 million viewers. Later on down the list we have The Mentalist and Criminal Minds and such.
I’m a bit worried about CSI: Miami. Stuffed behind football, it’s going to be a tough sell on a “school night” if it’s going to get jostled around from tentatively unstable football times. Alex O’Loughlin’s medical drama, Three Rivers, never had a chance sitting behind football. But CSIM has a strong following already. Maybe it will do OK. As far as I’m concerned, anything with over 6 million viewers is doing OK. But the shows that I like are worrying me to some degree.
Fringe is sitting in the 60′s, sadly, it’s barely outperforming Chase. OMG, despite Fringe actually having a pretty interesting story line going on this season, it feels fresher then it did last season. Are we tired of X-Files-like shows? The Vampire Diaries, though sitting in the 70′s, is kicking butt for The CW amongst that network’s shows. Smallville, in it’s tenth season, pulled in more than 2 million viewers. But near the very bottom of the barrel of numbers, sits Stargate Universe and Caprica.
