How the Sitcoms Did For Week 6; Hearts Afire S3 DVD Cover
Monday Sitcoms
- The King of Queens (CBS) - Built on last week's already impressive numbers to 11.23 million. Much better than what last season's occupant did.
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS) - 10.89 million tuned in and held all of its lead-in's A18-49 ratings.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS) -Equaled highest rating of the season with a 5.5 A18-49 rating.
- Out of Practice (CBS) - 13.09 million tuned in but lost almost 3 1/2 million viewers from lead-in.
- One on One (UPN), All of Us (UPN), Girlfriends (UPN), Half and Half (UPN) - UPN's best sitcom block, much better than Thursdays, even though Chris is on Thursday.
Tuesday Sitcoms
- According to Jim (ABC) - A repeat at a special time did very decent. 9.22 million tuned in, but it did lose a lot from the special Charlie Brown Halloween's 10.98 million.
- My Name is Earl (NBC) - A repeat at a special time did better than what The Office does regularly!
Wednesday Sitcoms
- George Lopez (ABC) - Up from last week. 8.5 million tuned in.
- Still Standing (CBS) - 6.47 million tuned in. Cancelation clock is ticking, even though it was a repeat.
- Yes, Dear (CBS) - The inconsistent sitcom scored 6.76 million for a repeat. What happened to the 8.75 it scored a few weeks ago?
- Freddie(ABC) - For the first time the sitcom didn't build on George Lopez in total viewers, but it did in A18-49 from a 3.1 to a 3.4 rating.
Thursday Sitcoms
- Joey (NBC) - A repeat, but only 6.06 million? Third in its half hour.
- Will & Grace (NBC) - Another repeat of a sitcom this week, scored 6.27 million viewers.
- Everybody Hates Chris (UPN) - Since Joey was a repeat, Chris should have won, but it didn't. 5.39 million tuned in.
- Love, Inc. (UPN), Eve (UPN), Cuts (UPN) - Time to cancel two of these at least and try something else in the 9 p.m. hour.
Friday Sitcoms
- What I Like About You (The WB) 1 Hour - An original and a repeat both were lead last.
- Bernie Mac (FOX) - Bernie might be gone after this season.
- Malcolm in the Middle (FOX) - Same goes for this one.
- Reba (The WB), Twins (The WB) - The hour was up from last week's 1.8 to a 2.2, which is OK.
- Hope & Faith (ABC) - Up from last week and was second place in its timeslot because CBS's drama was in a repeat.
- Hot Properties (ABC) - This episode was not as good as the previous ones, but it was probably the highest ratings for the show, once the final numbers come in we'll know if it was.
The sitcom Hearts Afire starring John Ritter, Markie Post and Billy Bob Thornton comes out with Season 2 on DVD this Tuesday. Be sure to buy a copy of this underrated series (see my webpage below).
