Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Amazing Race, The, Apprentice, The - Donald, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings
Okay - let’s try this again. After a week full of Nielsen ratings delays, we’re getting back to business. Thanks to a slate full of finales, CBS had a hold on the viewers last night. ABC, in the meantime, won the oh-so-important demos. (It should be noted though that both networks were beat in the 10:00 hour by NBC’s The Celebrity Apprentice.)
8pm
- Approximately 10.4 million watched Tammy and Victor win The Amazing Race (3.0/9 in 18-49).
- The Celebrity Apprentice (3.1/9) averaged 8.7 million over three hours.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (2.6/8) nailed down 8.2 million.
- The Simpsons (2.5/8) had 5.2 million laughing; King of the Hill (1.8/5) pulled in 4.1 million.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Amazing Race, The, Apprentice, The - Donald, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings
If it hadn’t been the first official Sunday of sweeps, last night would have been considered a fairly uneventful. ABC’s lineup took the oh-so-important demos while CBS won a narrow contest with the viewers.
8pm
- The Amazing Race (10.3 million, 3.1/9 in 18-49) remained steady.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (2.8/8) returned to 8.7 million.
- The Simpsons (5.9 million, 2.9/9) was down 600,000.
- Dateline (1.1/3) averaged 5.1 million over two hours.
- Sit Down, Shut Up (4.2 million, 1.9/5) lost 1 million.
- CW’s airing of Four Weddings and a Funeral (0.3/1) romanced 1.2 million.

Sunday Ratings: Fond Farewell for Desperate Housewife
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Amazing Race, The, Apprentice, The - Donald, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings
She might not be Miss USA, but Nicollette Sheridan is still a winner. Last night’s goodbye to Edie Britt was Sunday’s most-watched event. The farewell helped ABC take first place in both the viewers and the demos yesterday.
8pm
- The Amazing Race (10.4 million, 3.0/8) left 1.4 million behind at the pit stop.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition* (7.6 million, 2.2/6) was off by 1.8 million.
- The Simpsons (3.0/9) raked in 6.5 million; the premiere of Sit Down, Shut Up (5.2 million, 2.3/6) lost a good chunk of its lead-in.
- The Miss USA Pageant (1.4/4) had 5 million talking.
- CW’s airing of At First Sight (0.2/1) averaged 1.1 million.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Amazing Race, The, Apprentice, The - Donald, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings
Earlier coverage of The Masters golf tournament (and its convenient overrun) lifted CBS to a victory on an otherwise slow Easter Sunday.
8pm
- 60 Minutes/The Amazing Race (3.0/9 in 18-49) combined for 11.8 million.
- A 2-hour Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (9.4 million, 2.9/8) pulled in another 2.3 million.
- An expanded Dateline (6.4 million, 1.6/5) did better than the recently-moved Kings.
- The Simpsons* (4.7 million, 2.2/7) dropped 1.7 million; King of the Hill* (2.0/6) turned in 4.2 million.
- CW’s airing of Cutthroat Island (0.3/1) registered 1.4 million.

Sunday Ratings: Music Awards Has CBS Singing
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Apprentice, The - Donald, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings
Either country music is in its prime, or viewers weren’t interested in a Housewives repeat. Whatever the reason, the ACMAs were hot last night. Yesterday’s broadcast had its best demos since 2005 and its largest audience in 11 years.
8pm
- The Academy of Country Music Awards (3.8/10 in 18-49) drew in 14.8 million for CBS.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition* (7.1 million, 2.2/6) was down 3.7 million from last week.
- The Simpsons (6.4 million, 3.1/9) lost 200,000; Family Guy* (2.8/7) turned in 5.8 million.
- Kings (3.6 million, 1.1/3) gave up another 800,000.
- CW’s airing of Rocky III (0.4/1) had 1.1 million cheering.

Sunday Ratings: Family Guy Beams Up the Numbers
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Amazing Race, The, Apprentice, The - Donald, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings
FOX might not have been last night’s winning network (that title belongs to CBS), but it wasn’t due to lack of trying. Yesterday’s Family Guy episode drew a fair number of Trekkies and the best demos of the evening.
8pm
- 60 Minutes/The Amazing Race combined efforts for 13 million (3.8/10 in 18-49).
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (10.8 million, 3.6/9) was up 1 million.
- The Simpsons (6.6 million, 3.1/9) improved by 400,000.
- Kings (4.4 million, 1.3/3) lost another 200,000.
- CW’s broadcast of War Games (0.4/1) sucked in 1.2 million.

Sunday Ratings: Kings is No Ratings Ruler
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Amazing Race, The, Apprentice, The - Donald, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings
One of these evenings NBC will get it right. Just days after witnessing a painful debut by The Chopping Block, the network did it again. Yesterday’s premiere of Kings failed to deliver any power to the Sunday night lineup. CBS wound up winning the viewers while ABC topped the demos.
8pm
- The Amazing Race 14 (10.4 million, 3.0/8 in 18-49) picked up 200,000.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (9.5 million, 3.0/8) did the same as last week.
- The Simpsons (6 million, 2.8/8) remained steady.
- Kings (6 million, 1.6/4) had the lowest demo of any original last night.
- King of the Hill (5.4 million, 2.4/6) added on 500,000.
- CW’s broadcast of Moonstruck (0.2/1) attracted 1.2 million.
