From Zap2it
"A repeat of "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" earned a 4.9/9 for FOX at 8 p.m., edging out the premiere of "Big Brother 8," 4.8/9, on CBS. An "Ugly Betty" rerun, 2.9/5, put ABC in third. "My Name Is Earl" and "30 Rock" were fourth for NBC. The CW got a 1.3/2 from its "Smallville" repeat.


While BB was second in the time slot, it did much better than "Pirate Master" did in the same timeslot last week.

From June 22
"Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?," 5.7/11, easily won the 8 p.m. hour for FOX. "Pirate Master," 3.8/7, put CBS in second. ABC's "Ugly Betty" repeat, 2.9/5, was third in households, but an hour of "The Office" on NBC, 2.8/5, had a few more total viewers. The CW went with a "Smallville" rerun.

How does that compare to prior season premieres?

Not sure how it compares over all but it was down 4% in adults 18-49.


" FOX also led among adults 18-49 with a 2.6 rating, narrowly beating CBS' 2.4. NBC took third with a 1.4, followed by ABC, 1.3, and The CW, 0.8

“Big Brother’s” ratings have slipped over the last few years, but it’s still potent enough to give CBS a boost.

The network, which has seen two new shows flop already this summer, saw its Thursday average jump 20 percent week to week with the eighth-season premiere of “Brother” last night.

The show averaged a 2.7 in adults 18-49, according to Nielsen overnights, down 4 percent from last year’s 2.8 for its debut but still winning its 8 p.m. timeslot.

For Sunday July 8, 2006

A second hour of "Dateline," 4.3/8, moved NBC to the lead at 8 p.m. "Big Brother" posted a 3.9/7 for CBS.

This is close to the same ratings as the first sunday show from last year.

Tuesday, 4.5/7, 3rd (but remember, they were up against the All-Star game and the last part of a 90-minute AGT show). The thing that worried me is the 8.2 average for NBC (8.3 for the last part of AGT, and an 8.0 for Singing Bee- it beat the All-Star game, which got a 7.9)...let's see what happens next week.

Even better ratings were reported in that the Thursday show was tied for the 4th place spot for the week among 18-49 year olds. Also the Sunday episode was ranked 15th for the week with 18-49 year olds.

Thursday 7/12:

4.2/8 2nd (to FOX)...it went down, but I rhink it might have been because of the 2nd part of the Dont Forget the Lyrics premiere...I'll hold off until next Thursday on that one..


Sunday 7/15:

4.2/8 2nd (to NBC)...so it went up from last Sunday...

Tuesday should be interesting, with no baseball.

Tuesday:

4.5/7 2nd (which is the same as last week, but since there was no baseball, it went from 3rd to 2nd)

NBC went down a lot too, which is good... 7.0 for the last part of AGT and 6.8 for Singing Bee (both lost about 2 million viewers from last week- a 8.3 and a 8.0). The 18-49's should be interesting to look at when we see them...
