  1. Why don’t we ever get Rudolph the rednose raindeer or Charlie Brown Christmas specials. Its great that the US still air these in primetime, but we don’t even get them at all.

  2. I agree EM is s**t for a sunday night.

    But the home edition is really good…… it is a home renovation show where they build new houses for families in need. And the houses are amazing!!

    Anyway thanks for getting back to me just thought u might have had an idea…… give the tv programmers a nudge for me 😉

  3. David do you have any idea which free to air network has the rights to “Extreme Makeover – Home Edition”….. i know it is on foxtel but they are old episodes…… My parents absolutely love the show and i have been watchin it a bit lately too….. it is a great feel good show that would work really well early on a sunday night. I know Channel 9 has the rights to “Extreme Makeover” but i wasnt sure about “Extreme Makeover – Home Edition”

  4. I wonder where Prison Break is in the ratings???

    Its a personal favorite of mine and even though one of the ratings week goes to 19 instead of 20, I believe its one of the best on tv – but that’s me! At least Heroes is in the top 20 and Bionic Woman bumped off in the 2nd week – not interested in a re-invented version of a show I watched as a kid!

  5. THanks so much for putting this info on your blog David, its great!!! I am so happy Bro and Sis is still doing well in the USA. Great show. I watched Bionic Women last night and it was great. Reminded me of Alias and i loved that show too. Cant wait to see next weeks results too. Thanks again.

  6. Awesome addition for the site. I didn’t know that Brothers & Sisters was that popular in the US. Good to CSI on top, but I would’ve preferred for Grey’s Anatomy or Heroes to be top show of the week. Good news for Private Practice fairing so well.

  7. great addition to your blogs david….i find it hard sumtimes to keep up with the US ratings system…most sites seem more intent on using percentages and share numbers rather than overall audience numbers

    do you think you could possibly add what network screens each show….for example put
    1. CSI 25,220,000 – CBS
    could be useful…up2 u

  8. Fantastic ratings for CSI! Amazing that in it’s eighth season it can still get such huge numbers. I’m also wondering how this compares with it’s previous ratings.
