Sunday’s Numbers [10.19.2008]
By fred | October 20, 2008
Last night winner is CBS, probably helped by a nice Football overrun of about 45 minutes. That means all numbers for CBS are quite approximate, and that each program started with about a 45-minute-delay, hence the messy results it gets. On another note, all network had at least a 3.0 on the demo last night, so there’s so losers really — except for The CW of course, with 0.69 million viewers and 0.2 on the demo over night…
At 8.00 the animated comedy night was back on Fox, opening with The Simpsons and 8.09 million viewers, about 700 000 more viewers than last episode on October 5th. Coming after that was King Of The Hill also up, with 7.35 million viewers.
At 9.00 Desperate Housewives continues to lose viewers, with 15.25 million viewers and 5.7 on the demo, the lowest result of the season there. Still, the ABC hit-drama was the most-watched program of the night, so it’s not like there’s a real problem or anything, and quite frankly ABC is probably concerned by other nights, like Wednesdays.
Anyways, On Fox the new Family Guy was also up, watched by 9.07 million viewers and got a 4.7 on the demo, its best result there this season. That led out to a new American Dad with 6.61 million viewers and 3.3 on the demo.
On CBS with the overrun from earlier, Cold Case came in late, so it’s hard to really tell how it did. The better idea would be to look how it did at 10.00 for half an hour, and that gives us 10.89 million viewers and 2.7 on the demo, very much like last week. The second half hour shared with The Unit was down to 9.63 million viewers and 2.5, which sounds like The Unit indeed, with still a good retention, especially on the demo (Or an important drop for the end of Cold Case…).
At 10.00 on ABC was Brothers & Sisters, slight up with 10.21 million viewers, though it was actually slightly down to a 3.5 on the demo (3.6 last week).
