Apparently a World Series just isn’t a World Series if the two teams aren’t names people care about. Although the numbers weren’t horrible, the ratings for Game 2 fell behind several Thursday programs. By night’s end, CBS was on top again in both categories.
8pm
- Survivor: Gabon (13.4 million, 4.4/12 in 18-49) picked up 500,000.
- Approximately 12.8 million watched Game 2 of the World Series (8.1/13).
- Lindsay Lohan helped Ugly Betty (8.7 million, 2.8/8) round up 500,000 more.
- My Name is Earl (6.3 million, 2.4/7) was down 200,000; Kath & Kim (5 million, 2.2/6) fell by 1 million.
- Smallville (4.2 million, 1.7/5) was up slightly.

Though VH1 has been known for coming up with some real bombs in the past (what exactly is the deal with Charm School?), the World Series of Pop Culture last year offered a bevy of interesting trivia and quite a few teams that were almost impossible to root for. Will this year’s competitors hold more appeal?
