Sunday’s Numbers

By fred | April 21, 2008

Sunday night wasn’t such a big night. Not everything was a rerun, but even ABC didn’t go as good as on Sundays before the strike, not even averaging 11 million viewers on the night. But new episodes of Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters made the network a winner, both in total viewers and on the demo. In fact, all of ABC programs did at least 10 million viewers, while the most-watched program elsewhere only had 8.3 million viewers (Sweet Nothings In My Ear, CBS)

At 8.00 things started with Oprah’s Big Give on ABC, and 10 million viewers. The least performing program of ABC’s night, but other networks wished they could have done as good. Big Brother only had 6.8 million viewers, and after that a bunch of reruns.

At 9.00 Desperate Housewives was on, and it’s still not that great. 15.6 million of viewers is about exactly what the show did one year ago, but this season before the strike the show averaged with about 3 million more viewers. Still, it was last night the most-watched program of the night by over 5 million viewers and got a shinny 5.5 on the demo. After that at 9.00 came Sweet Nothings In My Ear with only 8 million viewers.

At 10.00 was the return of Brothers & Sisters, who only managed to keep 10.5 million viewers. Doesn’t look that great, but it’s still better that what Eli Stone did last week (9.2 million, 2.9 on the demo vs 3.6 for Brothers & Sisters).
