Another night with nothing on network television even scoring a 2 rating. It’s a virtual guarantee that True Blood, airing in 25% of US homes, will top everything on broadcast television for the evening.
ABC: The network earned the nightly win, with both SECRET MILLIONAIRE and EXTREME MAKEOVER: WEIGHT LOSS EDITION at 1.5. That was up for both shows from 1.1 and 1.2 the previous week–but still, 1.5s are nothing to launch fireworks about.
FOX: Reruns of FAMILY GUY actually won the 9PM hour with 1.7/1.8.
NBC: The night’s high point was the 1.1 for DATELINE at 7PM, which won the hour.
CBS: In 4 hours of primetime, nothing on the network even managed a 1 rating, with 60 MINUTES and its 0.9 at 7PM doing best.
At least there’s some original programming tonight, with new unscripted episodes on NBC, ABC and FOX. On TNT, the new procedural PERCEPTION debuts after the start of THE CLOSER‘s final run of original episodes.
