Friday Ratings: Big Bump for Betty
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Kids, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Medium, Ratings,
Okay, so CBS was in repeats—but I think we’d all accept gifts when we can. A lack of competition helped Friday’s broadcast of Ugly Betty reach its best numbers of the season. Thankfully, the program will be given a new opportunity when it starts airing on Wednesdays in January.
8pm
- Law & Order (8.8 million, 1.7/6) had a long-awaited win in its hour.
- Yes, Virginia (1.3/5) entertained 5.3 million.
- Supernanny (1.3/5) scolded 4.6 million.
- The Big Bang Theory* (1.4/5) contributed 4.6 million to the evening.
- The first hour of Dollhouse (1.0/3) raised 2.7 million.
- Smallville* (0.5/1) averaged 1.4 million over two hours.

Friday Ratings: Dollhouse Down, Betty Up
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Kids, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Medium, Ratings,
Do viewers watch programs they know are being canceled? Based on Dollhouse‘s ratings last night, probably not. The FOX drama returned this weekend to series-low ratings. Elsewhere, fans of Ugly Betty did their best to keep that ABC comedy from the chopping block.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer (8.2 million, 1.9/7 in 18-49) had the best numbers of the night.
- Muppets Christmas: Letters To Santa (1.1/4) entertained 4.3 million for NBC.
- ABC’s Dreams Come True special (0.9/3) saw 3.7 million tune in.
- Dollhouse (0.8/3) averaged 2.1 million over two hours.
- Smallville* (1.8 million, 0.8/3) added on 200,000.

A night of repeats didn’t help Ugly Betty‘s long-term survival chances this weekend. Despite a slate of originals for ABC, the network lost out to CBS in viewers. Meanwhile, FOX - thanks to an animated movie - actually won in the demos.

Would ABC be smart to air cartoons every Friday night? The weekend’s broadcast of Shrek the Third helped give the network a rare tie in the 18-49s. CBS, though, was still a solo winner with the viewers.

- Law & Order (7.5 million, 1.5/5) remained steady.
- Shrek the Third (1.9/6) attracted 6.3 million to ABC.
