dumont, I don't know if I'll have time this week to build a new web page for your suggested Network Sweeps game but I can provide you this for a new thread of yours:
NET VIEWERS 18-49
---------------------
ABC ??.?? ??.?
CBS ??.?? ??.?
NBC ??.?? ??.?
FOX ??.?? ??.?
CW ??.?? ??.?
MNT ??.?? ??.?
Perhaps but probably no better than repeats. I think Fridays at 8 if PIR does well. Then they could eliminate the low rated Moonlight repeats.

Well Figure Skating alone, for 3 hours, is boring, however, during the Olympics, it is like one of the biggest draws. Weird how those things work out like that

You could say that about most Olympic sports. When you wrap those rings around the flag, and all that jazz, sports that couldn't get arrested otherwise become the belle of the ball.
I too am surprised at how poorly the figure skating special fared in the ratings...perhaps it drew a better W18-49 demo than households or A18-49.
Pretty Woman did pretty good for ABC given that it has been so heavily broadcast and cablecast over the years.
And CBS, which started off the night OK with the Super Bowl commercials special that they seem to run every year, but then faltered with two fresh but low-rated 48 Hour Mystery episodes...this series used to get nice 2.0+ numbers in the A18-49 demo...what happened?
But it is FOX's crimetime reality line-up that is the old reliable ratings gatherer of the night.
I await with curiousity the Monday release of the MNTV numbers, which probably got a boost last night with "NFL Total Access" coverage of the upcoming Super Bowl and an encore of the season's highest rated "Control Room Presents..." with Rihanna.
