Sweeps Continues...

I'm amazed by how many people actually watch Joan of Arcadia. On 21 November, it was the second most watched show in prime time at [8.6/14]. The only thing more surprising, was that JAG took the number one spot with [9.6/15].

To no one's surprise, Joe Millionaire: An International Affair only managed [5.9/8] on 24 November, and was beat out by 7th Heaven and the family edition of Fear Factor.

25 November's numbers were better for FOX. The American Idol Christmas Special managed [7.9/12], which helped FOX beat out NBC for the number three spot (FOX only had two shows, Am Idol and 24, whereas NBC had three: Queer Eye, a Shania Twain concert, and Law & Order: SVU. While the share was the same, FOX had the higher rating by 0.3).

2 December finds FOX in the number three spot, once again. NBC's Law & Order: SVU lept up to [11.5/17], claiming the title of number one show. Number two show was snatched up by FOX's, The Simple Life, at [9.3/13]. CBS's JAG [9.2/13] rounded out the top three. FOX's overall overnight for 2 december was [7.6/11].
