TV Ratings: "Housewives" Beat Football (10/7/07)

They may have deflated year-to-year, but those sassy "Desperate Housewives" still know how to flex their Nielsen muscles. Although football dominated the prime-time landscape on Sunday night, Wisteria Lane took the lead from 9-10 p.m.

In other news "Family Guy" is still FOX's top-rated animated series, and The CW's lackluster fall went from bad to worse with the premiere of "Life is Wild" pulling in just 1.64 million viewers. Last year the netlet averaged 2.77 million in the timeslot.
