Sitcomsonline clearly has an error in their ratings. Whikle they gave the NASCAR 7-7:30pm portion a 5.66 1.7/5 rating, their 15 minute breakdown (in their same post) showed the NASCAR demo as:

7:00 PM-7:15 PM 2.2/6
7:15 PM-7:30 PM 2.2/6

Do not underestimate the power ABC news still has amongst the average viewer. Perhaps ABC should bite the bullet on Tuesdays and move Scrubs and Jim to 8pm and then use 2 hour Primetime telecasts from 9 to 11. 20/20 could also be used on Sundays and Mondays as holes arise this midseason (repeats of the Sunday shows, True Beauty on Mondays).

I just ran the numbers through the calculator, and I think the NASCAR Overrun ratings listed are for the whole race, not the 7:00 to 7:30 timeslot. ABC definately lost ratings moving to AFV.

Yes, the data at Sitcomsonline is for the whole race. I misread the data as being the primetime portion only. The 15minute intervals down below show that the prmetime portion gets a 2.2demo, but no word yet on the viewer number.

The top of ABC's lineup is the best there is. ABC's problem is the ratings for the shows are really weak after that.

I agree. ABC has a few huge hits and then half of their lineup is modest hits. They need to work on retention and building up another large hit.

Well there really was three big flops that needed to go and they were all canceled on the same day. Now they are some other modest performers but one could at least argue that SW and LOM don't have very compatible lead ins. Same for Boston Legal. The likes of Wife Swap and Supernanny are cheap and are doing about what ABC would with anything else demo-wise on a Friday, unless they were to move something like Dancing there (which in the future may be an option, but not right now).
