Friday’s Numbers
By fred | May 11, 2008
On Friday things went like all recent Fridays, which does include getting less and less people in front of their TV that night. CBS still won the night, both in total viewers and on the demo, but its entire lineup was down.
At 8.00 Ghost Whisperer won the slot with 8.7 million viewers, half a million less than a week ago. ABC brought back some All-Time Funniest clips and did better than last week, while NBC and a rerun of Most Outrageous Moments managed to beat both The CW and Fox, dead last both in viewers and on the demo (Man Of The House, 3.4 million, 1.1)
At 9.00 CBS won the slot again, with a Moonlight loosing less than all other programs of the night. Only 200 000 viewers less, but still one million viewers less than its lead-in, and it was still the least performing program on CBS that night, and the only one not to reach 2.0 on the demo (1.9) It doesn’t look very good for the show, but at the same time we’re in a post-strike world, so the fate of the show might not be all dark, especially if it doesn’t cost too much - given that its “low” numbers doesn’t seem to affect Numb3rs.
Numb3rs which was one again the most-watched program of the night, though loosing the most over last week with 1.1 million less viewers. But with 9.1 million viewers and 2.2 on the demo, it was the best performer of the night.
