The 43rd Annual CMA Awards averaged 16.8 million viewers over its three-hour telecast and was the most-watched CMA Awards in four years. ABC also won every half-hour in the adults 18-to-49 demographic.
Although CBS ran a distant second, the lack of ABC's comedy block helped boost sitcoms The New Adventures of Old Christine (7.6 million viewers) and Gary Unmarried (7.7 million viewers). Christine pulled ...

Fringe, Eastwick
It's that time of year: The networks are looking ahead to January and their midseason schedules, but some fall shows will have to be canceled to make room for the new stuff. Here's our list of 15 at-risk shows, many of which have posted significant ratings declines. Others are expensive to produce, a little long in the tooth, or just aren't performing as well as their timeslot competition — or even other shows on their own networks. Read about the issues each faces and then weigh in on which deserve to stay — or go.
(We'll keep updating the list of renewals and cancellations at the bottom of the page, so check back for the latest scheduling news.)

Paula Marshall, Gary Unmarried
It took a bit longer than anyone would have liked, but in mid-November CBS finally gave a green light to a full season of Gary Unmarried (Wednesdays at 8;30 pm/ET), its freshman sitcom starring Jay Mohr and Paula Marshall as exes dealing with new significant Os. Marshall shared with TVGuide.com why the good news made her "mad," previews this week's riotous Thanksgiving episode, comes clean about "Californicating" with David Duchovny, and offers her take on TV's new shot at Cupid.

The New Adventures of Old Christine
This Wednesday's ratings rundown:
8 pm/ET
Bones won the hour and topped the demos, delivering 10.73 million total viewers (dipping 150K from last week's season high). Securing second was CBS' sitcombo of Old Christine (8.09 mil, +18 percent) and Gary Unmarried (8.14 mil, +21 percent), both of which surged to season highs. Knight Rider rode third with 5.12 mil.
Here's where it gets sad. Despite a wave of well-wishes from its fans, Pushing Daisies mustered a mere 4.86 mil, fumbling 27 percent of its most recent audience — which, yes, was inflated by the Obamamercial — but also plunging 14 percent from the outing prior to that. Sources had been saying that the series is kaput; sources would now seem to be right.
Top Model's season-ender delivered the series' best audience in nearly a year — 4.8 million viewers.
9 pm
Criminal Minds soared 11 percent to win the hour with 16.38 million viewers. Private Practice (7.14 mil) dropped wildly from its last outing — which, mind you, had a DWTS results show for a lead-in — while Life (5.32 mil) slid 510 thousand. Stylista (2.16 mil) gained 430K.
10 pm
CSI: NY's big Mac attack flirted with 14 million viewers (up 20 percent week-to-week), while Law & Order (7.58 mil) dipped 320K. ABC's other Wednesday bubble show, Dirty Sexy Money (5.63 mil), dipped 10 percent.

Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies) and Rufus Sewell (Eleventh Hour)
This fall TV season has suffered two more casualities — NBC's My Own Worst Enemy and Lipstick Jungle — bringing the total numbers of shows shown the door to an unlucky seven. Interestingly, and perhaps as a true demonstration of yin and yang, nearly same number of shows have also been given the good word that they are keepers for the season.
