Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Amazing Race, The, America’s Next Top Model, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings,
Despite being down approximately 5% since last year, the retooled Desperate Housewives was easily last night’s best draw. Unfortunately, the show couldn’t fight off the Bears and Eagles alone. NBC - with the help of Sunday Night Football - was once again tops in both categories last night.

Sunday Ratings: Emmys Reach New Low
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Family Guy, Ratings,
Last night, I made a comment about the Emmys hitting a new low. Apparently it was more than a just a joke. Yesterday’s telecast - which was pitted against a football game - received its smallest numbers to date. Meanwhile, NBC was once again on top with both the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- Approximately 19.2 million watched the Cowboys defeat the Packers on Sunday Night Football (8.1/19 in 18-49).
- The 60th Primetime Emmy Awards (3.8/9) had 12.2 million confused from the start.
- Cold Case* (2.4/6) kicked off CBS’ evening with 10.4 million.
- The Simpsons* (2.3/6) averaged 5.1 million over an hour.
- A Privileged* rerun (1.1 million, 0.4/1) pulled in 900,000 less than before.

Good news and bad news for FOX last night. Although House saw its lowest Tuesday ratings since 2005, the show did well enough to slaughter the competition. Meanwhile, Fringe saw a dramatic improvement over its premiere thanks to the strong lead-in.

- NCIS* (1.8/5) checked in with 9.6 million.

Unless you’re willing to count the Big Brother clip show, Sunday Night Football was the only original program after 8pm last night. This lack of competition gave NBC an easy victory in both categories yesterday.
8pm

- Big Brother 10 (2.7/7) refreshed 10.3 million.

Meanwhile, the 90-minute premiere of Fringe got off to a nice start helping FOX nab a win in the demos. (NBC and America’s Got Talent were the victors with the viewers.)
