Despite being down approximately 5% since last year, the retooled Desperate Housewives was easily last night’s best draw. Unfortunately, the show couldn’t fight off the Bears and Eagles alone. NBC - with the help of Sunday Night Football - was once again tops in both categories last night.
8pm
- Approximately 15.4 million (6.3/15 in 18-49) saw the Chicago Bears beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (3.7/9) had 11.9 million feeling emotional.
- The Amazing Race (3.1/8) took 10.3 million along on the first leg of its race.
- The Simpsons (9.3 million, 4.4/12) was down 6% from last year; King of the Hill (7 million, 3.3/8) fell 13%.
- Privileged* (1.2 million, 0.6/1) did about the same.

- 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.

Casting Corner: The Simpsons, Lost, My Name is Earl and More
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, FOX, NBC, Lost, My Name Is Earl,
Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:
The Simpsons: For the 20th season of The Simpsons, young Maggie will undergo an interesting transformation. Sixteen years ago, the binky-sucker uttered her first word with the help of screen legend Elizabeth Taylor. In an episode to air sometime next year, an adult Maggie will be voiced by a different Oscar winner: Jodie Foster. And word has it, she’ll be saying more than just “Daddy.”
