Sunday, July 02, 2006

Dog days of summer have begun. Week 5 Summer Ratings: Sitcom Edition:

Two and a Half Men (CBS) - 8.86 million tuned for an encore, up from last week.
New Adventures of Old Christine (CBS) - 7.55 million, up from last week's repeat.
One on One (UPN), All of Us (UPN), Girlfriends, Half & Half (UPN) - Repeats of these sitcoms were decent this week ranging from 1.92-2.3 million.

Tuesday Sitcoms

According to Jim (ABC) 4 episodes - Did decent enough for the summer...4.65 million, 4.31, 4.63 and 5.17 million. This week also ABC will try four episodes in a row.

Wednesday Sitcoms

George Lopez (ABC) - 4.3 million...down a lot from last week. By July 18, the show will move to Tuesdays at 8:30 for the rest of the summer.
Freddie (ABC) - 3.51 million...ouch, just a few morning airings to go, starting the 19th it is gone.
UPN Comedies: Special OTO airings of One on One, All of Us, Eve, Cuts...well were terrible. All steady though in the 1.2-1.3 million range.

Thursday Sitcoms

My Name is Earl (NBC) 2 episodes - Aired at 8 and 9:30 this week, both down from last week...4.55 and 4.02 million.
The Office (NBC) 2 episodes - Struggled at 8:30 and 9:00 with 3.54 and 3.9 million, down from last week.
That '70s Show (Fox) 2 eps - 2.99 million at 8 p.m. and 3.52 million at 8:30.
Everybody Hates Chris, Love Inc, Eve, Cuts (UPN) - Chris only did well with 2.64 million and the others ranged from 1.44-1.95 million.

Friday Sitcoms

What I Like About You, Twins, Reba, Living with Fran (The WB) - All dead last place. Reba was the highest rated one obviously. It is sad when repeats of 24 beat you, as they have never repeated well at all.

Sitcoms tonight (Sunday) are...two more Reba episodes on The WB from 7 to 8 and Fox with The Simpsons at 7.
