Sunday 12th October: ABC stable as CBS slides

Last night saw CBS struggle without the NFL Overrun with all their shows bar Cold Case slipping.

Over at ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos is finally registering the ratings it deserves. I don't know how on earth it averaged 9M last week, but thank god it has sunk.

Extreme Makeover continues to nail its timeslot and Desperate Housewives marches on albeit against weaker competition (no Family Guy and American Dad). The Housewives won its timeslot with 15.44M and 6(rating)/14 (share) and 5.1/13 in the 18-49 and 18-34 demo respectively. But, I'm not a fan of this 5 year jump. Brothers and Sisters averages fair numbers but the retention is poor.

The CW's new Media Rights Capital line up is scoring below par numbers, however, if there is a shining light it is Valentine's retention from last week, losing next to zero viewers.

TV by the Numbers and PIFeedback

Meanwhile on the Cable Networks, recently acquired World Wrestling Entertainment's "Friday Night Smackdown" logged 3.5 million, 1.1 rating for MyNetworkTV. This figure makes Smackdown MyNetworkTV's number 1 program in its history. And to think The CW dumped this for Everybody Hates Chris, The Game and ANTM repeats, is mindblowing.

In other news, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, netted 2.8M and 0.7/2 in the 18-49 demo, this is a loss of 30% on its premiere.
