Wenesday from 9-10 pm Dog the bounty hunter was a repeat Dogs new show was at 10:00 pm so anyway congratulations to Ghost hunters!!!!!
Dog, at least in 25-54 Ghost Hunters beat Dog’s numbers at 10pm. I expect it beat it overall, as well since last week a repeat of Ghost Hunters at 9pm had 2.15 million and a new Dog the Bounty Hunter at 10p had 2.06 million.
Yes as I said congrats brother I will have to work harder .Do I feel a contest starting?
this is funnily and oddly equal to last years premiere… i mean… it’s like identical… “delivered a 1.9 household rating, 2.7 million total viewers, 1.615 million Adults 18-49 and 1.706 million Adults 25-54″ that’s from a press release from scifi 1 year ago for the 2008 preem.
considering they were caught faking “evidence” on the big halloween show last year and all the press about it… not a bad preem. but their growth obviously is done
dog and beth chapman are good people and good family to meet
i care for them the kids do a good job too.
we love the dog the bounty hunter.
@tom, guess what, 2.7 million people don’t care about your opinion on the Halloween show.
