Ratings Rat Race Update: 2.5 Men Reverses Downward Trend As All CBS Comedies Gain

UPDATE 2:45 PM: As expected, most CBS series were adjusted down in the finals after a bump in the fast nationals from a NFL pre-emption in Baltimore. But even with the adjustment, all CBS comedies posted gains vs. last week. The news is especially important for Two And A Half Men, which had been sliding every week since its hugely rated season premiere. Last night, Men logged a 5.5/13 in 18-49, up 4% from last week, and 15.3 million viewers, up 1%. The comedy starring Ashton Kutcher is still comfortably ahead of the performance the same week last fall with leading man Charlie Sheen, up 25% in 18-49. Mike & Molly (4.2/10 in 18-49) was up 8% week-to-week, 2 Broke Girls (4.5/11) was up 2% and How I Met Your Mother (4.3/12) also was up 2%. Hawaii Five-0 (3,1/8) was flat. For the night, CBS (4.1/10) edged Fox (3.9/10) in 18-49. Fox’s coverage of Game 4 of the World Series stretched beyond primetime, averaging a 4.2/11 from 8-11:40 PM. PREVIOUS 9 AM: It is another Monday night where the ratings picture is too murky to draw conclusions based on fast national ratings. Fox carried Game 5 of the World Series, which in the fast nationals is running behind CBS in adults 18-49 and behind ABC in total viewers. But Fox’s average is expected to rise in the finals, so the races — especially the one in adults 18-49 — is too close to call. That’s because CBS’ fast national numbers were likely inflated by the local pre-emption in Baltimore, where the CBS station aired the NFL game. As a result, CBS’ series were up week-to-week across the board: How I Met Your Mother (4.3/12, up 2%), 2 Broke Girls (4.6/11, up 5%), Two And A Half Men (5.6/13, up 6%), Mike & Molly (4.4/10, up 13%), and Hawaii Five-0 (3.3/8, up 6%). ABC’s Dancing With The Stars (3.1/8) was down 6%, while Castle 2.5/6 was flat. ABC averaged a 2.9/7 in 18-49 and 15 million viewers for the night. NBC’s The Sing-Off (1.5/4) slipped 6%, followed by aPrime Suspect rerun (0.7/2), leading NBC (1.2/3, 3.6 million) to another No. 5 Monday finish behind its Big 4 rivals and Spanish-language Univision. The CW’s Gossip Girl (1.4 million, 0.6 in 18-49) was up 18% in total viewers and even in 18-49. Hart Of Dixie (2 million, 0.8/2) hit series highs in total viewers and all key demos; it was up 19% from last week in viewers, 33% in 18-49 and 13% in adults 18-34 (0.9/2).

Ultraviolet set for global roll-out

CANNES -- The new cloud storage system Ultraviolet, which bows in the U.S. Oct. 11, will announce a global roll-out in the coming months with launches imminent in both the U.K. and Canada. Warner Bros. exec Justin Herz, speaking during a conference session at Mipcom Tuesday, said that more than 50% of the studio's film and TV catalog would be available via UV by the end of next year while Fox indicated that "a significant" amount of its fare would soon be UV-enabled. The studios that have signed up for UV, which include NBC Universal and Fox -- a group from which Disney is conspicuously absent -- hope the new technology will re-ignite the home entertainment market and prove a much-needed boost to revenues following the collapse of DVD sales, and the failure of Blu-ray to generate widespread excitement among film and TV lovers. UV-enabled discs allow consumers to watch the same piece of content on 12 different devices, be it connected TVs, laptops, tablets or mobiles, anywhere in the world once they open an account giving them access to online streaming. The first UV release, Warners' "Horrible Bosses," bows Oct. 11, with further releases due in the coming weeks. The first TV skein will be CW's "One Tree Hill," and is expected in the coming months, indicated Herz. Despite the imminent launch Mark Teitell, general manager of the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem, declined to say how much the service would cost. This would be worked out between content suppliers and retail partners. But Herz, senior VP, direct-to-consumer, Warner Bros.

He said: "We have done a terrible job at introducing digital product and the consumer has voted vociferously against what we have done." Whether UV does any better remains to be seen, but Teitell sounded determined, if realistic. He said: "There is a lot to be worked out. We are just getting startedThe goal is to make Ultraviolet available everywhere Blu-rays and DVDs are for sale." Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com
