Ratings: Two Million More Show Up for Class

CBS sure looked smart this week as The Class, in its new 8:30 pm time slot, drew an additional two million viewers (for a total of 10 mil). Paired with How I Met Your Mother (9.7 mil) in the 8 o'clock hour, the sitcombo placed second behind Deal or No Deal (15.2 mil).
At 9 pm, the big week-to-week gainers were Two and a Half Men (up 1.1 million to 17.1 mil), which ruled the hour with Old Christine (13.7 mil) and NBC's Heroes (13.3 mil, up 700,000).
At 10, CSI: Miami found yet another 600,000 heads, bringing its unbeatable tally to just shy of 18 million. Placing a distant second and third were Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (8.75 mil, down 300,000) and the season premiere of What About Brian, which with 7.05 million lost a full mil of lead-in The Bachelor's audience.
As for the CW's own schedule shuffle, let's grade it "Incomplete," as the network rebroadcast the premieres of former Sunday occupants Chris, All of Us, Girlfriends and The Game - all of which lost to Fox's own repeats of Prison Break and Justice.
