Wednesday’s Numbers [10.22.2008]
By fred | October 23, 2008
Fox won the night quite easily thanks to the World Series, with 13.52 million viewers and a 4.3 on the demo. Still, CBS managed to resist pretty well, and had the most-watched program of the night with no other than Criminal Minds.
At 8.00 New Adventures Of Old Christine did very well with a season high at 8.01 million viewers and 2.4 on the demo. Out of that came what turns out to be a good fit, as Gary Unmarried has a series high with 7.85 million viewers and a 2.5 on the demo, beating its lead-in!
Sadly for the world, on NBC were still 7.23 million viewers for Knight Rider. At least it’s going down, but with such results (and a 2.2 on the demo) and the money they get for the cars, no question that NBC will leave this crap on the air for long… *sigh*
Meanwhile, despite a great episode focusing on no other than Emerson Cod himself, Pushing Daisies only had 5.67 million viewers (down 600 000 viewers from last week) and 1.9 on the demo. With such low numbers, especially on the demo, a pick-up seems very unlikely.
At 9.00 Criminal Minds was down 1.2 million viewers, but the competition from Fox was quite stronger than usual, and with 14.72 million viewers The Eye had 1.1 million more viewers than Fox. And while Fox won the demo for the slot, Criminal Minds hold on pretty good (4.0 vs 4.4)
Private Practice on ABC justified its pick up, growing nicely from its low lead-in (2.1 million more viewers) with 7.78 million viewers and a nice 3.0 on the demo, also a nice improvement from last episode (7.3 million, 2.5)
At 10.00 CSI: New-York showed a very good retention with 14.24 million viewers and a 3.9 on the demo. Way behind were found Dirty Sexy Money, passing below 6 million viewers (5.86 million) though it remained stable on the demo with (only) a 2.0 On NBC things were even worse, as Lipstick Jungle hit a series low with 4.19 million viewers and a 1.6 on the demo
