Friday’s Numbers
By fred | April 20, 2008
Bad Friday for ABC, beaten by The CW both in total viewers and on the demo. There was pretty much nothing on, so while NBC won there’s nothing to be proud of… The most watched program of the night had only 7.2 million viewers, and the two hours of Dateline shared the lead on the demo with Numb3rs, all with a 1.9
At 8.00 a rerun of Ghost Whisperer won the slot, while the rerun of Desperate Housewives barely had 3 million of viewers, and a very low 0.8 on the demo. One hour later on Fox was the series finale of Canterbury’s Law, and with 4.7 million viewers and 1.0 on the demo, there’s no doubt it was indeed a series finale. It did better than Duel on ABC or even Friday Night Smackdown! on The CW, but still. And, Friday Night Smackdown! was stronger on the demo.
Finally at 10.00 Dateline & a rerun of Numb3rs tied on the demo, while there were 400 000 more viewers in front of NBC.
