Friday’s Numbers [12.19.2008]
By fred | December 22, 2008
A tiny bit late, but here are finally the numbers of Friday night. It was pretty uneventful as it was mostly reruns but CBS, winner of the night in viewers as well as on the demo.
At 8.00 Ghost Whisperer was up with 10.24 million viewers (+500 000) and a 2.6 on the demo, making it the most-watched program of the night, and the only one to reach the 10 million mark. That led into a rerun of Numb3rs, which doesn’t repeat as well as NCIS or The Mentalist of course (7.79 million viewers, more than enough to win the slot), and then a new episode of Numb3rs, with 9.18 million viewers (-500 000) and 2.1 on the demo.
Also interesting to note, while Numb3rs was the winner of its slot during both half-hour, it was also the one program to lose viewers (150 000 less viewers) from its first to second half-hour, while both 20/20 and Dateline actually gained some (respectively 800 000 and 300 000).
