'Malibu Country' ratings drop as 'Boss' rises
by James Hibberd

A Friday night reversal. After last week�s strong debuts by ABC
comedies Last Man Standing and Malibu Country, this week CBS�
Undercover Boss rose up to overthrow the sitcoms.

Boss had 9 million viewers and a 2.1 adult demo rating, up 33.333333
etc. percent from last week. That not only won 8 p.m. but also came
very close to topping ABC�s Shark Tank (6.7 million, 2.1) at 9 p.m.
Tank slipped from last week�s series high, which is no surprise since
the ABC sitcoms provided a softer lead-in this week, but this is still
its second-biggest number ever.

Last Man Standing (7.3 million, 1.6) was down 20 percent and Malibu
Country (7.2 million, 1.6) fell 30 percent. Here�s how an optimistic
ABC executive would probably look at that: Well, at least they�re
doing the same. In other words, at least the ratings aren�t showing
some big drop from returning show Last Man Standing to the brand new
Reba McEntire comedy. That suggests they make for a good team and that
viewers aren�t rejecting Malibu in particular. And they�re still
coming in second place in the hour.

For a second there, just based on the subject line, I thought
there was an ABC show called "Last Man".

I don't know what it would be about, but at least it's an
interesting title.
