Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Amazing Race, The, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings,
Even though the show celebrated Halloween two days late, The Simpsons’ annual “Treehouse of Horror” special was still timely with the viewers. Last night’s animated event gave the series its best performance in the demos in nearly five years. That result, in turn, gave the network a Sunday win in the demos. Meanwhile, the Patriots/Colts football game put NBC on top with the viewers.
8pm
- Approximately 14.2 million saw the Indianapolis Colts beat the New England Patriots on Sunday Night Football (5.3/12 in 18-49).
- The Simpsons (6.2/15) delivered 12.5 million.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (11.7 million, 3.8/9) was off by 500,000.
- The Amazing Race (9.8 million, 2.8/7) did about the same.
- King of the Hill (4.3/10) registered 8.6 million.
- Valentine (800,000, 0.2/1) fell by 46,000.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Drama, Kids, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, House, Ratings,
Maybe CBS has a repeat of Fringe to thank? Whatever the reason, The Mentalist hit a season high last night with its sixth episode. The freshman series then helped out Without a Trace’s numbers. All this activity gave the the network its best Tuesday since December ‘07. Unfortunately, House‘s hot demos meant FOX still had the lead last night in the 18-49 group.
8pm
- NCIS (17.1 million, 3.4/9 in 18-49) did the same as last week.
- House (13.1 million, 5.3/14) killed in the demos.
- ABC‘s presentation of It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (3.4/9) had 10.4 million reminiscing.
- The Biggest Loser: Families (8 million, 3.1/9) packed on 700,000 more pounds.
- 90210 (1.6/4) returned to 3.2 million.

Record Ratings for Clone Wars Debut
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Cable, Ratings,
Just weeks after leaving quietly from the theaters, The Clone Wars is being given new life on television.
This past weekend, the premiere of Stars Wars: The Clone Wars raised galactic-sized numbers for the Cartoon Network. The half-hour animated program had the best debut for any series on that channel ever.
The first two back-to-back episodes pulled in nearly 4 million viewers. That bested Ben 10: Alien Force‘s previous record by a million. The time slot also saw triple-digit increases in several key youth demos over the same period last year.
The Lucasfilm Animation series - voiced by many of the same actors in the film version - airs Fridays @ 9pm.
