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.

At this point, no one-two combination could possibly help FOX’s Friday. The network’s recent attempt to pair Prison Break with Dollhouse resulted in dismal numbers.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer (9.2 million, 2.1/8 in 18-49) was the most-watched show of the night.
- Wife Swap (4 million, 1.3/5) dropped 1.5 million.
- Howie Do It (3.3 million, 1.0/4) remained even.
- Prison Break (3.1 million, 1.0/4) let 300,000 escape.
- Everybody Hates Chris (1.8 million, 0.6/3) picked up 400,000; The Game (1.9 million, 0.9/3) raised 600,000.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Everybody Hates Chris, Prison Break, Ratings,
Prison Break‘s long absence did not make the heart grow fonder. After months off the calendar, the retiring series returned to a new day and disappointing numbers. CBS’ slate of repeats wound up winning the night in viewers while ABC placed first in the demos.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer* (6.6 million, 1.3/5 in 18-49) gave up 3.6 million.
- Wife Swap (5.5 million, 1.7/7) improved by 900,000.
- Howie Do It (3.3 million, 0.9/3) slipped by 600,000.
- An earlier hour of Prison Break* (0.8/3) recapped 2.7 million.
- Everybody Hates Chris* (1.4 million, 0.6/2) and The Game* (1.3 million, 0.5/2) were both down 100,000.

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.
