We recently reported that the new NBC series, My Worst Enemy, received mixed reviews as it debuted earlier this month.  The John Eisendrath-produced show which stars Christian Slater is set to air its third episode tonight and it has so far endured the airwaves with lukewarm ratings.  In fact, TV Guide recently revealed the ratings for the Monday nights which kicked off this fall season.

First off, we have the 8pm timeslot, in which Dancing with the Stars grabbed 18.56 million total viewers over its 90-minute run, gaining around 900,000 week to week.  Close behind DWTS is CBS’ Big Bang Theory, with an explosive yet stable 9.28 million and How I Met Your Mother, with 9.36 million.  Chuck closed in with 6.7 million.

As for the 9pm timeslot, Two and a Half Men took the top spot for the demographic for the first half hour with 14.55 million viewers, with Worst Week garnering 9.9 million viewers.  Samantha Who? yielded 11.03 million, losing around 660 of its viewers.  Heroes came in first at 9:30, with 8.46 million viewers, but was down 140,000 overall week to week.  Prison Break was up by 400,000, yielding a total of 5.84 million, while One Tree Hill also gained 220,000, totaling its viewers to 3.65 million.

Finally, during the 10pm timeslot, we find CSI: Miami topping the hour with 13.25 million viewers, while Boston Legal had a 10% increase, totaling to around 9 million viewers.  My Own Worst Enemy sadly lost 21% of its viewers, garnering 5.7 million in total.

While some might already be worried for the show, our readers generally like the NBC freshman show.  In fact, they might remain unfazed by the mostly negative reviews the show has been receiving from several TV critics.

Meanwhile, tonight on My Own Worst Enemy, viewers can follow Edward has he heads to Mexico to get information on Russian weaponry. The trip goes awry, though, and Henry on the other hand is called upon by an inquiring FBI agent after learning that Edward endangered his daughter.

Catch “Hello, Henry” tonight at 10pm on NBC’s My Own Worst Enemy.
