Overnight Ratings - Monday 1/30/06

TD Notes: For now, last week's numbers are from Zap2it.com
and are included for general comparison purposes only.

With regards to the evening grid, I've noticed that having the data
for both weeks on the same line (moreso when one show's new
and one's a repeat) seems to be confusing people, so I've split
them up when necessary.

Finally, God help me, I've decided to start up the mailing list again ;-)
Just email me the address you'd like the ratings posts mailed to and
you'll be added to the list. No ads, no snazzy graphics, just the posts,
and I'll never share your addy with anyone, period. I only ask that
any comments on the ratings themselves be discussed here on the
newsgroup, not via email. Personal comments are, of course, more
than welcome. Now, on with the show.

Marc's Notes: With weaker lead-in support, week two of Courting Alex
dipped to an 8.8/12 in the overnights (#2), 13.46 million viewers (#2)
and a 4.5/10 among adults 18-49 (#2) at 9:30 p.m. Last week,
Courting Alex premiered with a 10.3/14 in the overnights, 14.90 million
viewers and a 5.1/11 among adults 18-49. Even so, retention out of
the Two and a Half Men repeat was a solid 87 percent in the overnights,
88 percent in total viewers and 90 percent among adults 18-49.
Comparably, that is better than former occupant Out of Practice.

Over at the WB, veteran 7th Heaven (which featured the birth of
Martin and Sandy's baby) finished fifth in the 8 p.m. hour in the
overnights (4.6/7), total viewers (6.06 million) and adults 18-49 (2.2/6),
but first among teens (2.1/7) and female teens (3.1/10), and No. 2
in women 18-34 (3.6/9) and women 12-34 (3.4/9). Comparably,
this was its third highest rated episode for 7th Heaven this season
among women 18-34. Come on CW, are you really going to let this
show go?
