ABC’s crossover experiment paid off big time yesterday. Despite an all-new lineup on CBS (and the season premiere of Survivor), the Alphabet network finished the night with a win in the demos. CBS, though, did place first with the viewers.
8pm
- Survivor: Tocantins (4.4/13 in 18-49) kicked things off with 13.8 million.
- Ugly Betty (7.4 million, 2.3/6) did about the same.
- My Name is Earl (6.3 million, 2.6/8) was up a smidge; Kath & Kim (5.5 million, 2.4/6) picked up 800,000.
- FOX‘s coverage of the 40th NAACP Image Awards (1.4/4) drew in 4.2 million.
- Smallville* (2.4 million, 0.9/3) was off by 1.5 million.
