Sunday’s Numbers [10.26.2008]
By fred | October 27, 2008
Last night was won by Fox thanks to the World Series, while NBC tanked pretty good trying to air a movie, which never really works these days. Not much to say about the programs at 8.00 if only that on The CW and despite a pretty strong competition (14.95 million viewers (5.0 on the demo) for Fox, and 12.15 million viewers (3.9 on the demo) on ABC) Valentine managed to get 150 000 more viewers, though 0.85 million viewers and 0.3 on the demo is still a failure.
At 9.00 things were even worse for Easy Money, losing viewers with 0.67 million viewers and a 0.2 on the demo. Meanwhile on ABC, Desperate Housewives was the most-watched program of the night with 15.21 million viewers and 5.7 on the demo, while Cold Case managed to get a season high with over one million more viewers, and 12.00 million viewers watching last night (2.8 on the demo).
After that at 10.00 Brothers & Sisters stayed stable with 10.11 million viewers and 3.6 on the demo, which appears to be the new standards this season and isn’t really great retention (66%). On CBS The Unit didn’t benefit from the boost of its lead-in, losing half a million viewers for one of its lowers performances of the season, with 9.10 million and 2.5 on the demo.
