variety wrote that dancing will end up with 19.4 million and a 4.4. the numbers compared to last year are fairly even… and probably higher when dvr comes in… but the demo is much lower. 5.1 last year to 4.4 this year. again… dvr might add a little but they seem to be losing some of the younger audience. they need to have a 30 and under season. that would be fun and bring in some younger viewers.

With the competition, HIMYM will do even better with DVR viewers (and they already do great).

You can give How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory a pass last night. They had no chance of competting with DWTS and Bones finales garnering over 30 million viewers. Neither one of them even had a chance to compete. There were simply no viewers left after the other two took a whopping 30 million viewers.

The 9:00 CBS sitcoms did well, because no DWTS and no Samantha Who in the time slot.
