Grey’s Anatomy led all 18-49 viewing for the week, followed by the Sunday Night Football matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers on NBC and House on Fox. Two and a Half Men was CBS’ top-rated show among 18-49 year olds.
Desperate Housewives fans, don’t despair. The show didn’t air this past Sunday due to the airing of the American Music Awards, which performed impressively all three hours among 18-49 year olds, averaging 6.7 million 18-49 year olds between 8pm-11pm.
At # 20, and 4.813 million 18-49 year old viewers the Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma game edged out Heroes among 18-49 year olds. Oklahoma didn’t beat up on Heroes as badly as it beat up on Texas Tech. Heroes came in 21st among 18-49 year olds with 4.757 million.

Heroes= 21st annoying how close it came to being in the top
I have no idea why the young people like myself aren’t watching Chuck. It seems tailor made for that demo.
Any idea how 30 Rock fared? Thanks
it was 25th w/4.5 million
Glad I went down to limited basic with such a dismal array of “entertainment”
