Last night’s Monday evening ratings battle was won by Dancing with the Stars with over 14 million viewers – as is expected in true Monday night fashion.
Coming a close second place, but just not good enough to take the top spot was The Voice which managed 10.61m compared to DWTS’ 14.73m viewers.

In typical Monday fashion, Dancing with the Stars stole the best ratings of the evening for NBC. But, with a couple of season finale’s airing last night, how did they do in comparison?
Unfortunately, the season finale of 90210 came in last place with just 620,000 viewers - we expected the show to gain a few more viewers for the series finale. Meanwhile, How I Met Your Mother bowed out with its season 8 finale to 8.37 million viewers.

It appears CBS is currently happy with its scheduling, with the majority of its shows being renewed.
The network is big on its comedy shows, with the likes of 2 Broke Girls, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory and Mike & Molly all being renewed – I think we all knew they were likely to survive at least another year.

The ratings for last night’s primetime shows are in and it appears reality TV takes the crown, as Dancing with the Stars took the top spot, followed by The Voice. However, Oh Sit! and 90210 brought up the rear with the lowest audiences of the night.
In terms of overall ratings, DWTS took the crown with 12.92 million viewers, The Voice came in a close second with an overall 11.89m viewership. Castle took third place with 10.82.

Welcome once again as we plunge into the best that TV has to offer us over the next week.
The Bridge (BBC4, Sat, 9pm)
It’s fair to say that BBC4 has had major success with Scandinavian imports, most notably The Killing and Borgen. They are hoping to repeat that success with their latest acquisition The Bridge, which is a co-production between Sweden and Denmark focusing, as it does, on the Oresund Bridge that connects the two countries. When a body is found of the bridge, half on the Swedish side of the bridge and half on the Danish side, both countries sent one of their detectives to hunt down the killer before he strikes again. The Danish sent the podgy, much-divorced and scruffy Martin Rohde, who throughout the series is in constant pain thanks to a vasectomy he recently had. Meanwhile from Sweden we have another in a long line of strong Scandinavian female characters in Saga Noren, a socially awkward individual who is sort of a cross between Lisbeth Salander and Sarah Lund, however swapping the latter’s taste in jumpers for a pair of leather trousers.
2 Broke Girls, the new hit US comedy that started on E4 last night and we previewed yesterday morning has managed to charm viewers and proved to be a big ratings winner for the channel.
According to overnight viewing figure reports this morning, the New York diner based comedy attracted over 1million viewers for E4 for it’s debut episode. An impressive figure of 1.1 million viewers were intrigued enough to decide to tune into the new show at 9pm and see what all the fuss and hype was about.
The first episode introduced the main characters of streetwise working class diner waitress Max and formally privileged but now disgraced Caroline and followed them as they started to work together in the greasy spoon Brooklyn diner, strike up an unlikely friendship, move in together and then decide to make their ultimate dream of owning a cupcake business a reality. It nestled in amongst established US comedies such as The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your mother which are also big hits on both in America and here in the UK.
Starting tonight on E4 is new hit US comedy/sitcom 2 Broke Girls. Channel 4 announced they had aquired show the last year, along with now popular C4 comedy New Girl and the former will finally make it’s debut tonight at 8pm.
It will nestle in amongst E4’s other popular US Sitcoms such as How I Met Your Mother, Happy Endings, Rules Of Engagement and of course, the brilliant Big Bang Theory. So will it live up to those other E4 stalwarts and what’s it about?
