Tuesday’s Numbers [09.30.2008]
By fred | October 1, 2008
Last night was much like all Tuesdays will be like I would imagine, with CBS winner of the night in total viewers while Fox took the demo, exactly as things went down during the first hour.
While slightly down NCIS was still the most-watched program of the night with 17.24 million viewers, while House actually gained half a million viewers and was - as expected - the number one program on the demo last night (12.66 million, 5.3 on the demo). And on The CW even 90210 managed to do a little better than last week, not that 3.2 million viewers and a 1.7 on the demo sounds like what was initially expected from the show…
At 9.00 things are looking good for new series The Mentalist, as the show managed to be about as well as last week : 15.27 million viewers and 3.5 on the demo. So far this show looks like a new hit in the ratings, and it’s actually pretty good so it’s good news all the way.
More good news but for Fox this time, as Fringe went back up over 10 million viewers (10.04 million). Over 10 million sounds pretty good, and that makes a good enough retention out of House. While it is not the mega-hit some predicted, Fringe sounds like a success so far. Should also be noted that while third in viewers, Fringe actually won the slot on the demo.
Privileged didn’t had the same luck as its lead-in, but at least it didn’t do any worse than a week ago. Still, under 2 million viewers isn’t really good…
At 10.00 Without A Trace was also going up with 1.2 million more viewers, yet once again Law & Order: SVU on NBC, also up, won the slot on the demo (3.7 vs 2.8)
