-Ratings Breakdown:
There was little of note of this typical summer Sunday, with CBS first overall in total viewers and Fox No. 1 among adults 18-49. A repeat of perennial 60 Minutes kicked-off the evening first for the Eye net in total viewers (8.02 million) and second among adults 18-49 (1.4 rating/ 5 share). Just the opposite was a repeat of America’s Funniest Home Videos on ABC, with 5.12 million viewers (#2) and a first-place 1.5/ 6 in the demo. Also airing in the hour was the first half of a two-hour edition of NBC’s Dateline (Viewers: #3, 3.94 million; A18-49: #4, 0.9/ 3), repeats of Fox sitcoms The War at Home (Viewers: #4, 2.08 million; A18-49: #3t, 0.9/ 3) and King of the Hill (Viewers: #4, 2.44 million; A18-49: #3, 1.1/ 4), and two repeat episodes of the CW’s canceled Reba (Viewers: #5, 1.90 million; A18-49: #5, 0.7/ 2). Overall, Dateline averaged 5.12 million viewers and a 1.2/ 4 among adults 18-49 from 7-9 p.m.
In time period-premiere news, CBS’ already addictive Big Brother 8 moved into the 8 p.m. hour with 5.93 million viewers (#2) and a 2.1/ 7 among adults 18-49 (#2). Comparably, Thursday’s official season-premiere opened three days earlier with 7.44 million viewers and a 2.7/ 9 in the demo (also based on the fast affiliate results). While that is a loss of a hefty 1.51 million viewers and 22 percent among adults 18-49, keep in mind that growth over lead-in 60 Minutes was 50 percent in the demo.
Also airing from 8-9 p.m. was the second hour of NBC’s aforementioned Dateline (Viewers: #1, 6.29 million; A18-49: #4, 1.4/ 4), repeats of Fox’s The Simpsons (Viewers: #3, 5.18 million; A18-49: #1, 2.5/ 8) and American Dad (Viewers: #4, 4.72 million; A18-49: #1, 2.4/ 7), a repeat of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on ABC (Viewers: #3, 5.24 million; A18-49: #3, 1.7/ 6), and an encore telecast of the CW’s canceled 7th Heaven (Viewers: #5, 1.11 million; A18-49: #5, 0.4/ 1).
A repeat of CBS’ underrated Cold Case led the 9 p.m. hour in total viewers (7.09 million), with a second-place finish among adults 18-49 (1.7/ 5). Fox’s double repeat dose of Family Guy (Viewers: #2, avg. 6.07 million; A18-49: #1, avg. 2.5/ 8) won the hour in the demo. Also airing from 9-10 p.m. was a repeat of NBC’s Law & Order (Viewers: #3, 5.99 million; A18-49: #3, 1.5/ 4), a repeat of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (Viewers; #4, 3.33 million; A18-49: #4, 1.0/ 3), and a repeat of the CW’s Supernatural (Viewers: #5, 1.04 million; A18-49: #5, 0.4/ 1).
Leadership remained mixed at 10 p.m., with a repeat of Brothers & Sisters third in both categories. Take a look:
