Sunday’s Numbers
By fred | April 28, 2008
Last night was a good Sunday as you could have expected it to be, ABC being a clear winner both in total viewers and on the demo, CBS was second in viewers but got beaten on the demo by Fox, thanks to their comedy night.
At 8.00 ABC was pleased to welcome back Extreme Makeover, performing better than Oprah with 2 million more viewers. The Simpsons had more than 4 million less viewers, but were pretty close on the demo (3.6 vs 3.9) That was for the ups, in the downs we find NBC and “reruns” of Monk (and Psych one hour later) still not doing good, and of course The CW where Everybody Hates Chris (1.3 million, 0.5) and Aliens In America (1.0 million, 0.4) are in trouble…
At 9.00 and helped by a stronger lead-in Desperate Housewives was up by 600 000 viewers, most-watched program of the night with 16.2 million viewers. Resisting well to the housewives, Cold Case on CBS did well with 11.5 million viewers - the only program not on ABC to go over 10 million viewers, or 8.5 for that matter. When the show actually got to air in its slot and people can find, they do watch it.
Family Guy was back, and performed quite well with 8.5 million viewers, especially on the demo where it was the second program of the night with 4.3 right after Desperate Housewives and their 5.8
Finally at 10.00, much like the entire ABC lineup, Brothers & Sisters was up (one million more viewers) with 11.6 million and a 4.0 on the demo, clear winner. Of course, the competition wasn’t that tough, with a “rerun” of Dexter (adapted from previous airing on Showtime) and a rerun of Law & Order: SVU both scoring 6.5 million viewers.
