Sunday’s Numbers
By fred | May 5, 2008
So, Sunday night went by pretty much exactly as last week, despite a few little changes here and there. ABC was a clear winner of the night, both in total viewers as well as on the demo, all that with Desperate Housewives most-watched program of the night. Nothing you couldn’t have seen coming.
At 8.00 things were a bit different for CBS, having the season finale of Cold Case one hour earlier than the show usually comes in. It didn’t make much difference when it comes to viewers, but the show performed quite less on the demo (2.4 vs 2.7 last week). Meanwhile on ABC, Extreme Makeover only lost 500 000 viewers compared to last week, yet performed better on the demo pulling out a 4.1 this week (3.9 last week)
On Fox the comedy night is still doing going, especially on the demo, though this week was not performing as good as seven days ago. The Simpsons lost 1.5 million viewers, and King Of The Hill was down 800 000 viewers. On The CW it as bad as last week, with 1.2 million for Everybody Hates Chris and 200 000 less for Aliens In America, both getting a 0.4 on the demo.
At 9.00 and despite a pretty good episode Family Guy followed the lead and lost 800 000 viewers since last week, while American Dad lost half a million of them. Of course, both show still perform nicely on the demo with 3.9 and 3.1 respectively.
The big winner was Desperate Housewives, and without Cold Case on CBS it wasn’t too hard to grow, yet it didn’t improve that much winning only 400 000 viewers since last week, and getting a nice 6.2 on the demo. Less people in front on the TV than usual, since after Desperate Housewives came Family Guy and their 7.7 million of fans.
At 10.00 Brothers & Sisters didn’t benefit from the growth of its lead-in, loosing 600 000 viewers since last week, not very good.
