Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Games, Prime Time, Reality, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Desperate Housewives, Everybody Hates Chris, Family Guy, Ratings,
NBC was the only network to bring all-new material the table last night. Unfortunately, all that effort only gave the Peacock network a win in the demos. (CBS was the winner with the viewers.)
8pm
- Million Dollar Password (8.3 million, 1.5/5 in 18-49) easily won its hour.
- NBC‘s coverage of the U.S. Olympic Trials (2.0/6) attracted 6.24 million gymnastics fans.
- A two-hour block of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition* (1.9/6) averaged 6.21 million.
- The Simpsons* hour (4.1 million, 1.9/6) was up 400,000.
- Everybody Hates Chris* (700,000, 0.2/1) and Aliens in America* (680,000, 0.2/1) pulled in similar numbers.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Award Shows, Comedy, Prime Time, Specials, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Everybody Hates Chris, Family Guy, Saturday Night Live, Ratings,
Although Tony Awards telecasts have never been ratings goldmines, last night’s event had to compete with golf and basketball. Yesterday’s contest between the Celtics and the Lakers gave ABC another win in both the viewers and the demos.

- Approximately 6.2 million theater lovers watched the 2008 Tony Awards (1.1/3).
- The Simpsons* (3.7 million, 1.8/6) was down by 400,000; King of the Hill* (3.6 million, 1.7/5) slipped by 300,000.
- Everybody Hates Chris* (1.1 million, 0.4/1) and Aliens in America* (1.1 million, 0.4/1) turned out similar numbers.

Simpsons’ Actors Return to Work
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, FOX, News, Renewals,
Even though they didn’t get the amount they were hoping for, The Simpsons’ cast has finally returned to work. A settlement reached this weekend capped off months of salary negotiations between the show’s talent and 20th Century Fox TV.
The comedy’s lead players - Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Hank Azaria, Yeardley Smith, Nancy Cartwright and Harry Shearer - were reportedly seeking a $500,000 per episode paycheck. (That would have been up from around $360,000.) What they eventually settled on was a number closer to $400K. Although Shearer was still in the process of finalizing his deal, his co-workers were expected at a table read scheduled for Monday.
The new contract will lock up the actors at the new rate for four years and give fans their 20th year with the Simpsons clan. (FOX would have to specifically request additional installments.) Unfortunately, 2008-09 will still see less episodes than originally planned; two half-hours were shaved off due to the delayed negotiations.
