Sunday’s Numbers
By fred | February 4, 2008
Well, numbers are in and if for a moment it seemed this Superbowl might break records and go over 100 million viewers, the preliminary numbers are in, and as such finals are subject to differ a little, but it seems this might not beat last year after all. The Superbowl was followed by 89.1 million viewers, though numbers are expected to go up, while the past-game at 10.00 still had 68.2 million viewers.
What does that do for House ? Easily a season high, with the first half getting 32.8 million viewers and a 14.4 on the 18-49 demo. But when the second half gets added, and since House actually aired pretty late, I hear some had to wait 11.00 to see it, it’s expected to go down. Still a season high for America’s most favorite doctor, and a better result than last year’s post-Superbowl show, Criminal Minds, watched by a little over 26 million viewers.
Other networks were not going dark, although sometimes it’s as if - like NBC airing nothing but repeats of The Biggest Loser. The CW tried though. It didn’t really work, Life Is Wild barely had 700 000 viewers and Crowned didn’t do better.
