Sunday’s Numbers [11.16.2008]
By fred | November 17, 2008
Last night CBS had another Football overrun at 7.00 resulting in the entire line-up delayed by half an hour. With that boost The Eye was the most-watched network with 16.59 million viewers, but the demo was won by NBC (5.8) thanks to a night of football, the only thing that still does well on NBC.
At 8.00 while CBS had the overrun did wonder in its favor and the Football performed high as well on NBC, the comedy night on Fox wasn’t really affected : The Simpsons were up 300 000 viewers with 8.52 million viewers and 3.9 on the demo, leading into King Of The Hill up 200 000 viewers, with 7.04 million viewers and 3.2 on the demo.
At 9.00 Desperate Housewives did very well opposing the football, but couldn’t beat it. Still 16.55 million viewers for ABC hit-drama and a 6.1 on the demo, the best performance of the show this season except for the season premiere (18.4 million, 7.0). On Fox, Family Guy was slightly down with 8.52 million viewers and 4.2 on the demo, while American Dad went slightly up with 6.78 million viewers and 3.2 on the demo.
Cold Case aired from 9.30 to 10.30 and had 12.05 million viewers and 2.9 on the demo, benefiting from the boost of the night to score a season high. At 10.30 the first hour of The Unit was also up with 9.80 million viewers and a 2.5 on the demo.
Meanwhile at 10.00 on ABC Brothers & Sisters was the exception, not benefiting from the boost of the night and actually down 150 000 viewers, with 10.07 million viewers and a 3.7 on the demo.
