TV Show Ratings for Monday, 04/18/11 [finals]

ABC’s Dancing with the Stars dropped and, despite having a better-than-usual lead-in, Cougar Town didn’t do very well. The biggest loser of the night was NBC. Chuck maintained the previous week’s poor numbers and both The Event and Law & Order: Los Angeles dropped like rocks. Sadly, there’s no reason for NBC to bring any of these shows back next season.

On CBS, the comedies had moderate gains and losses and Hawaii Five-0 saw a decent increase. Things were status quo over on FOX.

After many weeks, The CW offered up original episodes of 90210 and Gossip Girl. Both were up and 90210 in particular had a huge gain in the network’s target demo.
