The data for this and last year are all final Nielsen numbers except for Univision network (the numbers over last Monday and Tuesday are FAST Nationals, and Wednesday numbers are not yet available). All Sweep calculations incorporate Nielsen final numbers for primetime programming, Monday to Saturday 8-11 pm, and Sunday 7-11 pm. For daytime over-runs into primetime and primetime run-pasts into latenight (e.g. sports coverage, award shows), only the primetime portion of the program numbers have been factored in. For networks that split programs into multiple segments of sustaining and non-sustaining coverage, the rating for the sustaining portion applies to the entire program broadcast.

Just a reminder: 'February Sweeps' will occur in March next year due to the digital TV transition. Specifically: March 5th through April 1st, 2009 is the 'February Sweeps' for next year.

Then, April 23rd through May 20th, 2009 is the 'May sweeps'.

For the record -- Britney Spears' MTV special did pretty good Sunday night.

"Britney: For The Record" averaged 3.7 million total viewers at 10 p.m.

It also pulled in a 3.5 rating in the network's target demo of persons 12-34, tripling the time period average in that demo and all others.

The documentary, part of Spears' career relaunch, provided insight into pop princess' rough last few years and into her paparazzi-filled everyday life.

When I think of all the shows that have been cruelly yanked from the air during the run of this turd, I just want to cry.

Other than 7th Heaven (the show that just would not die ), has there ever been another show that so many people wanted to just go away?

Scrubs perhaps.

Don't you diss my Grinch TV-aholic. Besides, I ALWAYS catch the game that matters each week.

I'm even to the point where I'd rather watch Scubs than Jim, but its not much of a difference.

I however, felt 7th Heaven was done a real disservice by having to air that extra season on Cdub where it was shoved off to die on Sundays with lovely lead ins like Pussy Catt Dolls and One Tree Hill repeats.

Pushing Daisies.

Okay, it didn't last nearly as long as Jim or 7th Heaven, but IT SEEMED TO.

Aw, I loved the first three or four seasons of Scrubs (and I don't usually care much for sitcoms). It's now a shadow of it's former self and probably should have been put out of it's misery some time ago.
