Weekend Ratings: 2/29-3/02/08

Time to take a look at this weekend's ratings. NBC's "Amnesia" tanks in the regular timeslot; Jimmy Kimmell should stay away from prime time; "Oprah's Big Give" gets off to a great start, as does the new reality show "Here Come the Newlyweds." Plus, CW's troubles continue.

On Friday, the primetime edition of CBS' veteran game show "Price Is Right" won the entire night, while NBC's "Amnesia" moved to its regular timeslot at 8/7c losing over 2 million viewers since last week's debut.

A rerun of Jimmy Kimmell's special made ABC almost invisible on a very tedious Saturday night, where a rerun of NBC's classic "Las & Order" took top honors beating FOX's ancient but reliable line-up.

Oprah Winfrey gave ABC a strong win on Sunday night, while providing a solid lead-in for the network's new reality series "Here Come the Newlyweds." Meanwhile, an all-new "Chris" hit a series low of 1.45 million viewers over on the CW.

The hilarious Chris Rock-narrated comedy, which has just been sold to Nick at Nite (the cable network will air reruns of the series from fall 2009), averaged 2.74 million viewers last season.
