Posted on 24 February 2008 by Robert Seidman

Scoreboard for Sat, Feb 23, 2008 FOX CBS ABC NBC
Total Viewers (million) 6.12 5.53 4.67 4.08
Rating/Share: Adults 18-49 2.1/7 1.1/3 1.6/5 1.3/4


Cops on FoxFOX’s time-tested lineup of Cops and America’s Most Wanted was again (and again, and again, etc) the most watched programming on a Saturday with FOX winning both the most overall viewers and the most 18-49 year old viewers.

ABC celebrated Oscar with an airing of the movie Forrest Gump and finished next to last for the night overall but second in terms of the 18-49 demo.

CBS ran a repeat of Shark, and then two hours worth of 48 Hours Mystery.   The Eye network placed second in overall viewers, but last for the night in the 18-49 demo.

NBC reran the first episode of the new reality show My Dad is Better Than Your Dad, and hardly anybody watched.  A couple more million tuned in between 9p-11p when NBC reran its very successful made for TV movie: Knight Rider (it was the 8th most watched program on broadcast TV the prior week).  I can’t believe I didn’t put it on the DVR!

    Personally, I don’t believe the Neilsen ratings truly represent what intelligent people are watching! If it does, God help us all!

  2. Jon V says:

    The Nielsens don’t track the viewing preferences of ‘intelligent people’… just people.

  3. Jon V says:

    Just realized that the Saturday viewer n umbers for COPS is about equal to the number of people who are wearing court-ordered ankle monitors and can’t leave home.
