Wednesday Ratings: Third Debate Comes in Second
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Daytime, Reality, Specials, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Ratings,
Despite better reviews for last night’s debate, Obama and McCain’s final meetup drew a smaller audience than Round 2. (The presidential event took in 56.5 million; last Tuesday’s gathering hit 63.2 million.) Unfortunately for CBS, yesterday’s political special meant a loss to NBC in both the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- Game 5 of the NLCS (2.6/7 in 18-49) rallied 8 million.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (7.74 million, 2.1/6 in 18-49) was up about 100,000.
- Gary Unmarried (2.4/7) pulled in 7.71 million.
- Knight Rider (7.65 million, 2.3/7) improved by nearly 1 million.
- Pushing Daisies (6.3 million, 1.9/6) picked up 700,000.
- America’s Top Model (1.5/4) recapped 3.2 million.

- Pushing Daisies (6.3 million, 2.0/6) was off 55% from this point last year.

- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Special two-hour premiere. “The season begins with 13 new celebrities.” Any time a reference is made about Kim Kardashian’s butt or cut foot, take a drink.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): “Charlie runs into an ex-girlfriend whose son bears a striking resemblance to him.” As if Charlie Sheen really needed to get involved in another custody issue.
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): Special two-hour premiere. “Suresh makes an important breakthrough.” It’s taken him two seasons to realize how boring his character is.
- Worst Week (CBS, 9:30pm): Series premiere. “Disaster-prone Sam Briggs, and his girlfriend, Melanie, visit her parents – who don’t like Sam – to tell them that they are engaged and expecting a child.” It’s always good to get the disappointing news out all at once.
