Looks like people watched football instead of Shark. Fox would have been better off running comedy repeats.

The CW's Sunday night is now officially down to MyNetworkTV levels. Pussycat Dolls at 9 pm has been weakening week by week.

Care to support this with data of Pussycat Dolls Sunday airings?

Care to support this with data of MNTV data?

The all PA game did well for pre-season. As for FOX, maybe they are thinking 'long term' and trying to bring the young viewers in now...before they get old and set in their ways?

BIG BROTHER drops back a bit from Thursday...but the Sunday shows always lack the drama of the veto and the eviction shows. Usually they whip out the food challenge. This week is was a reward challenge...naked female houseguests with their goods pixilated out frollicking in bubbles trying to win a shopping spree. Too bad Jen was out of the house already.

Isn't a 2.8 on sundays a HUGE improvement over the Sunday demo numbers BB was getting last season? I though BB was getting like 1.6-1.7 in the demo on Sunday shows last season.

QUESTION: when is Nielsen going to start doing the commercial viewing data as well as the program viewing data...or have they already started tracking/releasing the new emthodology?

But will people watch football instead of Shark once the season starts. I know it won't do as well as it did behind CSI, but will football take all of its viewers.

My favorite part of this episode was Amber and Jameka talking about how Amber should be a model.

I think Shark will be ok. It will lose some of the younger viewers to Sunday Night Football, but CBS is still strong on Sunday (except for the 8pm hour disaster in waiting).

The numbers to raise the question of whether moving Shark to Sunday night was worth it. Cold Case is the most female skewing of all CBS' crime dramas, and doesn't seem to be an ideal fit. Shark is obviously not on as strong of footing as Without a Trace was last year, and being against the NFL will not help matters.

Only 16 players so far for Game 40. Don't forget to sign up before tomorrow morning @ 7:59 AM et!

Well, it was only an on-the-fly analysis, but since you ask, I'm thrilled to oblige.

Much to my surprise, when I pulled out the summertime ratings filefolder, Pussycat Dolls actually posted a season high in viewers last night, breaking through the one million viewer threshold for the first time this summer. Way to go, Pussycats!

It's households, share and A18-49 were not its best summer numbers, nor its worst either.

Last weeks MyNetworkTV weekly numbers were 0.7HH/1%, 1.030 million viewers and 0.4 A18-49.

Last nights Pussycat Dolls numbers 0.7HH/1%, 1.030 million viewers and 0.4 A18-49.

So it's officially proclaimed. Pussycat Dolls have fallen to MyNetworkTV levels.

What does MYTV program on Sunday? Is it local programming?
