First overnight ratings:

The premiere of "Big Brother 4" brought in decent ratings for CBS Tuesday night, but NBC was stronger across the board and ended the evening on top.
...

"Big Brother 4," which has several ex-couples cooped up in the house this season, debuted with a 6.1/11 to win the 8 p.m. hour.

"NBC tromps BB" is a really misleading headline at that zap2it article, since BB was the highest rated show for the night, it looks like..
I got a more pro BB ratings article over at realitytvworld.com..It looks like they do ratings for all the reality shows..
They made it sound like BB did really well, and increased by 470,000 from last years premiere...
I am really glad BB is doing well, so it will live on, but sad that it is doing well at the same time, cuz it will perpetuate Arnie's ideas that the more MTV/Jerry Springer he makes it, the better it will do..I bet that if they did a repeat of the type of show done in the first two seasons, that it would still be doing well and increasing viewers just by word of our mouths alone...
OT..glad to see Last Comic Standing doing well too..

Well in the important rating, BB4 won...it had a 3.6 and 4.0 in the two half hours in the 18-49 demo. That was tops in both by about half a point over 2nd place NBC (who counterprogrammed with a episode of "Dog Eat Dog" wih NFL cheerleaders as the contestants...and all the stunts used the pool, so cheerleaders in bikinis....) It got a 2.9 and 3.5 in the demo.

Took Second - not bad.

NBC took control at 9 p.m. with the first of two episodes of "Law & Order" scoring a 7.1/13. On CBS, the Wednesday premiere of "Big Brother 4" took a 6.0/10 for second. ABC took a close third as two episodes of "The Drew Carey Show" barely beat the 4.4/8 for FOX's "Paradise Hotel." A double dip of "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment" averaged a 2.3/4 on The WB, ahead of the 1.8/3 for UPN's "The Twilight Zone."

The ratings for BB4 have been very good and very consistent

The reason why the ratings are lower on Friday is beacause it is a Friday...Not as many people watch tv on friday!

Also, BB4 was on after the Yankees in the New York area; had to have impacted the ratings.

FOX's pregame show and the early innings of the game -- which for the first time awarded World Series home-field advantage to the winning league -- averaged 7.2/13 at 8 p.m. "Big Brother 4," 5.2/10, grabbed the No. 2 spot for CBS, with NBC's "Dog Eat Dog," 4.5/8, in third. ABC came in fourth with reruns of "8 Simple Rules ..." and "Life with Bonnie." The WB's "Gilmore Girls" repeat, 2.4/4, beat UPN's "One on One" and "Abby" for fifth.

AS Better do something to stir things up, AFV beat BB???!!!!!! That has to be embarrasing

well, the key number, the 18-49's won't be known till Monday (futoncritic, which does 18-49 numbers, doesn't update on weekends), but last week, CBS beat ABC in 18-49's in the Friday 8-9 hour by the same margin it lost to total viewers in.....So AFV might have a bigger total audience, but it's older. In BB's key demo it's a little better than last year, and remember, last year, there was a show on Saturday's not Fridays...the Friday show does a lot better than the Saturday show ever did. Also, one tenth of a point is only about 100,000 viewers or so...

"Big Brother 4" won the 8 p.m. hour for CBS with a 5.2/9. NBC's "Dog Eat Dog," 4.9/9, came in second. "American Juniors" on FOX and reruns of "8 Simple Rules ..." and "Life with Bonnie" on ABC tied for the No. 3 spot at 4.7/8. A rerun of "Gilmore Girls" on The WB came in fifth, beating repeats of "One on One" and "Abby" on UPN.

From zap2it...

At 9 p.m., NBC brought out the first "Law & Order" episode and took the hour with a 7.7. On CBS, "Big Brother 4" performed well enough for a 5.7/10 and second place..

What zap2it doesn't tell you, but futoncritic does, is that BB4 won both half hours in the 18-49 demo (3.6 and a 4.1 compared to NBC's 2.9 and 3.8)

Here's a funny ratings issue that the producers are surely fuming about. Remember ABC's reality show The Family, which was aired for three episodes last March before the war began and ABC pulled it? Well, it's coming back, Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET, opposite Big Brother 4.

Here's the problem: Allison Grodner is the producer of both shows. She's competing against herself!

Sounds a little like The X Factor replaying itself as karma in the lives of the BB producers. The old production returns to compete against the new love!

That Allison <Mod hd> has got to go. She's ruining our favorite show.
