Spotted Ratings, Monday 4/25/11: Better with Better


WHAT MATTERS:
  • In a somewhat interesting development for barely-on-the-bubble Better with You, its special airing after Dancing with the Stars pulled an outright series high 2.6. That's 18% better than what Cougar Town did in the half-hour last week, but Cougar Town had a little more competition and a smaller lead-in (Dancing was up 18% week-to-week as well). The retention (55% for both shows) is almost identical, but I'd give the slight edge to Better with You in comparing the performances. So what does it mean? I doubt it's a renewal clincher, but it might make the show look better for some hypothetical situation apart from the Wednesday comedy block. Let's not get carried away; it's basically the same kind of performance as week 2 of Surviving Suburbia and Romantically Challenged in this situation, and those two shows aired a combined four more regular season episodes.
  • Most other originals were up but not meaningfully so. The Big Bang Theory in a special Monday repeat did a little better than the last couple Two and a Half Men encores.
