TV Ratings: April 25 & 27, 2008
ABC's combo of "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers & Sisters" rises, "Big Brother" goes out with a whimper, and CBS's procedural "Cold Case" continues to do well airing opposite the mysteries of Wisteria Lane.
On Friday night, CBS ruled the airwaves with its returning line-up which included an all-new "Moonlight." The show has averaged 7.5 million viewers this season. Although it did a little better this Friday, its low 2.1 rating among adults 18-49 remains troubling.
Meanwhile, ABC might be better off airing repeats of "Grey's Anatomy" instead of its lackluster game show "Duel" which scored a 1.0 rating among adults 18-49. Time for the axe to swing.
On Sunday night, ABC dramedies both gained about a million viewers.

Nice to see DH and B+S rising, especially as I thought that both episodes were considerably better than the previous weeks. The only thing that ruined DH for me last night, which is slightly trivial. Is when Mary Alice was talking about the fact that Lynette knew when her husband was lying and trusted him and yet 2 seasons ago she flew to Atlantic City after suspecting him of cheating. As if it was just forgotten.
