Wednesday Ratings: Country Experiencing Obama Fatigue
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, American Idol, Lost, Ratings,
Looks like President Obama wasn’t what viewers had in mind for sweeps. Last night’s umpteenth press conference was seen by 29% less people than the March 24th version. Although FOX was able to beat the other networks for its airing of Lie to Me, the strategic move was probably a moot point. American Idol would have given the network a win anyway.
8pm
- Lie to Me (7.9 million, 2.4/7 in 18-49) did the same as last week.
- NBC’s coverage of the presser (1.6/5) drew in 6.7 million.
- ABC’s political hour (1.6/5) attracted 6.1 million.
- Approximately 6 million watched the president on CBS (1.5/5).
- America’s Next Top Model (4 million, 1.8/6) remained steady.

At this point, no one-two combination could possibly help FOX’s Friday. The network’s recent attempt to pair Prison Break with Dollhouse resulted in dismal numbers.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer (9.2 million, 2.1/8 in 18-49) was the most-watched show of the night.
- Wife Swap (4 million, 1.3/5) dropped 1.5 million.
- Howie Do It (3.3 million, 1.0/4) remained even.
- Prison Break (3.1 million, 1.0/4) let 300,000 escape.
- Everybody Hates Chris (1.8 million, 0.6/3) picked up 400,000; The Game (1.9 million, 0.9/3) raised 600,000.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, American Idol, Lost, Scrubs, Ratings,
The closer Top Model gets to its finale, the bigger the curiosity factor grows. Cycle 12’s audience improved from last week’s numbers and even beat ABC’s 8:00 demos.
8pm
- Lie to Me (7.9 million, 2.3/7 in 18-49) didn’t do as well as last week’s Bones.

- The New Adventures of Old Christine* (5.2 million, 1.4/5) was off by 500,000; Gary Unmarried* (5.5 million, 1.7/5) slipped by 200,000.

Prison Break‘s long absence did not make the heart grow fonder. After months off the calendar, the retiring series returned to a new day and disappointing numbers. CBS’ slate of repeats wound up winning the night in viewers while ABC placed first in the demos.
8pm

- Wife Swap (5.5 million, 1.7/7) improved by 900,000.

Wednesday Ratings: The Unusuals Does the Usual
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, American Idol, Lost, Scrubs, Ratings,
Despite a flurry of promotion for the new series, ABC’s The Unusuals did what most shows do in that time slot: not much of anything. The premiere lost 18% of its lead-in’s audience and made it that much easier for FOX to dominate.
8pm
- Lie to Me (8.4 million, 2.5/8 in 18-49) fell by 600,000.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (7.3 million, 2.1/7) and Gary Unmarried (7.3 million, 2.2/7) finished with similar numbers.
- Scrubs (4.7 million, 1.8/6) lost 300,00; Better Off Ted (4.2 million, 1.7/5) dropped 500,000.

On an evening with no basketball games and a Ghost Whisperer repeat, Flashpoint came off strong. (At least, when compared to most of the programs out there.)
