Sunday’s Numbers [10.12.2008]
By fred | October 13, 2008
Last night was all about sports, with Football on NBC - winner of the night on the demo - and Baseball on Fox - winner of the night in total viewers, though that’s only due to the half-hour football overrun at 7.00 which had no less than 21.84 million viewers and an 8.2 on the demo.
As for our favorite shows, at 8.00 Valentine managed to remain pretty stable and even improve on the demo (though 0.4 is in no way satisfying), and was the only MRC series to reach 1 million viewers (1.01 M). One hour later things were pretty awful for Easy Money going down with 300 000 less viewers than last week and merely 750 000 viewers still watching and 0.3 on the demo. Not good, no question there.
Meanwhile on ABC Desperate Housewives was still the most-watched program with 15.33 million viewers, only 200 000 less than a week ago, and it actually improved on the demo (5.9 vs 5.8 last week). On The Eye Cold Case was holding nicely as well with 10.89 million viewers, down only 100 000 viewers. Lead-out The Unit took a quite bigger hit, losing 600 000 viewers.
Still, with 9.12 million viewers The Unit has a really good retention from Cold Case, and has remained very consistent on the demo.
On ABC, Brothers & Sisters was down 5% in viewers and 10% on the demo compared to last week, with 10.09 million viewers and 3.6 on the demo.
