Since today is a holiday, I skipped the Sunday analysis for a listing of just the raw rating results by half-hour for Feb. 18. Household rating/share is first, followed by total number of viewers (in millions) and adult 18-49 rating/share. Note: Results for CBS are approximate due to the late start of its regularly scheduled line-up (60 Minutes began at approximately 7:30 p.m. ET on the East Coast).

Thanks Marc! We needed someone to lay out these confusing numbers!

Thanks, Marc. Is it just me or do all those numbers seem really low?

Well, The Amazing Race: All-Stars season opener was very disappointing, and I thought the series-finale of Reba would generate more interest. And what can Donald Trump possible say about The Apprentice now?

Wow, suprising! I thought Reba would do better, along with the Amazing Race!

BTW...what were Reba's average #'s/week??

Does B&S usually have that big of a dip in the second 1/2 hour...or was it because Without a Trace started last night in the middle of it?

It always dips, but the adult 18-49 decline is more than usual. And Without a Trace started at 10:30 p.m.

Sorry, that's what I mean (WaT)...I had corrected my post.

Well, Reba's numbers are not that bad. Like you stated Marc they could of been higher.

Peace!!

What's coming on the "Reba-slot" next week? Repeats?

I am really surprised the Desperate Housewives numbers were so low. I thought for sure some fans would return this year; creatively, the show has improved immeasurably from last year. It is a shame they are missing out on the really fun new plots.

It is great to see Brothers and Sisters doing so well. Does this mean that it finished No.1 in the hour for total viewers AND adults 18-49? If so, that is a great improvement for this show.

The Apprentice is definitely losing steam. Marc - do you think this is the last edition with Donald Trump at NBC?

Vilis should be happy with the demo numbers. CBS got smoked by ABC last night in the demo. If things do not improve, I think CBS might have to make some changes on Sundays come fall.

FOX's Daytona 500 was certainly the big winner over CBS's golf last night

Desperate Housewives is low, it was a great episode last night.. Many things happened.. Great numbers for Brothers & Sisters.

What a great show though. It's really confident now - flawlessly shifting from a comedy episode last week to a very emotional one this week. I think the ratings will really improve in year 2 after people catch the DVD.

I was hoping higher than a 3.9 million average but 4.4 million (which is near the season high) tuned in at 7:30pm which is good.

7th Heaven got bumped up 600,000 viewers week to week
