Wow, that's pretty bad for Two and a Half Men.

Nice for King of Queens. I wonder if people didn't realize 2 and a Half Men was on earlier than normal.

2.5 Men... yikes.

Was it on a different time?

Yeah, it was on at 8:30.

The sitcom takes another blow

KoQ gone... 2.5 Men is starting to turn people away... It's nearing the end for sure now, there's no more. How I Met Your Mother doesn't have enough oomph to revitilize it. It's getting to the point now where in the next couple years networks might just eliminate them completley, there's just no audience anymore. I don't foresee any promising sitcom pilots on the horizon either.

Really good for DWTS though the fall season is going to have a higher average than this spring one.

Bachelor has REALLY benefitted from the DWTS lead-in.

Ouch for 2.5 Men and 24. Major ouch for Deal or No Deal.

Also... for pulling in some near 20m episodes throughout the season, that is some weak number for CSI: Miami, especially when you consider it practically had no competition.

That's not good for the season finale of How I Met Your Mother, is it?

What do you think will the finales of 24, Lost and Heroes get?

I would go with 13.5 million, 14.8 million and 14 million respectively.

I can certainly see a lot of the pre-hiatus 14 million coming back to see the finale of Heroes. I mean, if only to see if they do stop the bomb.

24... I think maybe 11 or 12 million.

Lost 13-14 million.

Lost will probably be in the 14-15 million range. Remember that it's 2 hours probably starting at 9pm against the weakest Idol in years.

There is no possible way Heroes and 24 could both get above 12-13 million for the finale. they are up against each other and aso up against the FINAL DWTS competition night.

24: 11.5 million
Heroes: 13.5-14 million
DWTS: 22 million
