Tuesday’s Numbers
By fred | April 23, 2008
Last night American Idol was on, and that was enough for Fox to win the night. One hour later ABC had Dancing With The Stars, so they were a good second, while after that no network average 9 million viewers. Let’s note anyway that, except for The CW, every networks average over 2.0 on the demo.
At 8.00 Idol had 24 million viewers, but that didn’t prevent NCIS to resist, with 10 million less viewers. After that, no one could beat 4.3 million viewers (According To Jim) or 1.6 on the demo (Best Of Saturday Night Live), impressive isn’t it?
At 9.00 while Dancing With The Stars took the lead with 17.5 million viewers, but the worth noting part is that Reaper was back, and with 2.4 million viewers and 1.1 on the demo, it may be nothing fantastic but it’s nothing bad either. It’s not that far from Gossip Girl’s performance last night, and yet there hasn’t been anywhere near as much promotion for this great show as for GG.
Also, Reaper grew nicely from its lead-in, both in viewers (a 50% increase, 800 000 more viewers) and on the demo. In other words, it’s be a really good idea for The CW to renew it.
At 10.00 Law & Order: SVU and Boston Legal only had 1 million viewers apart, but NBC’s drama was much stronger on the demo (4.0 vs 2.8), while a rerun a Shark tanked at 4.8 million viewers and 1.1 on the demo.
