Ratings Roundup: 1.04 - The Virgin
posted on November 10th, 2007‘Dancing,’ ‘Samantha’ trot to Monday win
ABC came up big on another Monday night with the sitcom “Samantha Who” gliding effortlessly behind proven winner “Dancing with the Stars.”
“Dancing with the Stars” was the night’s top show in both key measures with 21 million viewers and a 5.0 rating/12 share in the adults 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary estimates released Tuesday afternoon by Nielsen Media Research. It was down only slightly from week to week but still ahead of everything else, although CBS’s “Two and a Half Men” (14.1 million, 5.0/11) tied it in rating if not in share.
ABC’s freshman “Samantha Who” (18.3 million, 5.0/11) also tied in the demo although it would take until final ratings are released to see how the shows end up. But in any event, it was a continued strong performance from “Samantha Who,” which last week scored a 4.5/10 in adults 18-49.

Excellent results yet again. They are higher than last week right? I always find ratings a little confusing to understand.

I DVR-ed the 4 ep marathon to checkout this show as I love Christina A. The first three eps had me hooked and laughing but the 4th ep turned into a bad ep of Sex and the City. Too much lewd innuendo and thankfully my young daughter did not see this ep, but she loved watching the first two with me. “It does not taste like Chicken?” C’mon! That is rated R stuff! This seemed to be a borderline family show, and this ep had to throw in Hollywood morals or lack of. If they had to go to this extreme for laughs in only the 4th ep, then they are out of ideas.
