Broadcast TV Ratings for Monday, February 25, 2008 February 26, 2008

ABC’s Raisin in the Sun film gave the network a strong first place finish on the evening, with a consistent half-hour to half-hour performance through 11:00.

NBC meanwhile was a respectable second place on the evening thanks to another strong outing from Deal or No Deal, the nights most-watched series.

Elsewhere on the evening, despite coming no where close to the numbers it was getting post-American Idol, The Moment of Truth did fill in nicely for the departed Prison Break, however at 9:00 ‘Terminator’ hit another series low. I sure hope FOX finds a way to keep the show for another season, because I surely am enjoying it and would hate to see it last for only one season. It still performs well among the key A18-49 demo, so it’s not all bad.

The CW meanwhile languished in a now familiar last place, as the new edition of Pussycat Dolls Present failed to crack 2 million viewers, well below last season’s numbers. (more…)

ABC’s coverage of the 80th Annual Academy Awards led the network to an easy win on Sunday night, but year-to-year, the awards show was off by a disappointing 8.16 million or 20% among viewers and 24% among adults 18-49 (click here for a list of winners).

Elsewhere on the evening, Fox was the only major net to program effectively, with its two-hours of NASCAR coverage and repeats of The Simpsons putting the network in a solid second place finish for the evening.

CBS finished in third place for the evening, with Big Brother continuing to perform poorly, while another re-purposed episode of the Showtime hit Dexter showed promise in its second week, growing from its lead-in among adults 18-49. (more…)
