I'm a huge fan of How I Met Your Mother and I begged my friends to watch it last night. I don't know if you did or not, but someone sure watched. There were nearly 10 million viewers and with those kind of numbers the show has a chance of getting picked up next year. WHOOO HOOO!
The sitcoms are back -- and viewers have returned with them.
The first scripted productions to resume their broadcast runs since the writers strike ended were rewarded with some of their highest ratings all season.
CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" (9.1 million viewers, 3.7 preliminary adults 18-49 rating/11 share) matched it season premiere rating. "How I Met Your Mother" (9.7 million, 4.3/11), "Two and a Half Men" (14.0 million, 5.4/13) and "The New Adventures of Old Christine" (11.4 million, 4.3/11) all hit a season highs. The sitcoms were followed by a "CSI: Miami" repeat (9.6 million, 3.0/8).
The news should give broadcast networks a sigh of relief as the industry expected the four-month strike to result in viewership declines for returning shows. Also, "Mother" has yet to be renewed for the fall, and its rating should help ensure the series a pickup.
