Friday Ratings: A New High for Ghost Whisperer

Despite lower numbers for the 9:00 hour (no NCIS repeat this this time), CBS was still on top last Friday. A large part of the network’s success was due to Ghost Whisperer. The series hit a season high with the viewers last week.

8pm

• Ghost Whisperer (11.7 million, 2.9/10 in 18-49) picked up 600,000.
• Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? (5.5 million, 1.2/4) fell by 900,000.
• Deal or No Deal (5.3 million, 1.2/4) lost 200,000.
• Supernanny (4.6 million, 1.4/5) did the same as last week’s Wife Swap.
• Everybody Hates Chris (1.8 million, 0.7/2) was up a notch; The Game (1.7 million, 0.7/2) remained steady.

MONDAY (11/10)

• Prison Break (FOX, 9pm):  “Gretchen gives Michael the rest of the bird book, but he suffers another seizure after deciphering it.” That pretty much sums up my feelings about bird books as well.
• Samantha Who? (ABC, 9:30):  “Sam is sentenced to community service, where she meets a troubled young woman (Mary-Kate Olsen) and decides to help turn her life around.” Sam has now become the better-looking version of Earl Hickey.
• 17 Kids and Counting (TLC, 10pm):  “Jinger takes her driving test; the family celebrates Michelle’s birthday and responds to viewer questions.” Uhh, I have a question. Jinger? Seriously?
