Ratings Are In!

by

Hey, everyone!! So another season is behind us. Still, there’s one more order of business to discuss and it’s the one all network executives wanna know first: how were the ratings? This season, the show actually did really well! After having a few low weeks during the year, the show ended averaging over 15 million viewers for the season.

This puts Desperate Housewives near the top of the heap! While the show ended up in 9th place among all TV shows, they did beat all the other scripted series in the dream 18-49 demographic. Not too bad, huh? Looks like the jump really did help the series this year! I may not agree with the show getting nine seasons (I think most really long running shows could’ve stood to lose a season or two- Buffy and Roseanne anyone?), but I can see why it is after reading the ratings. Can’t wait to see what happens when the show comes back in the Fall. Among the shows that beat them were American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, NCIS and The Mentalist.

So, let’s dish- what did you think of this season? Over-hyped? Under-appreciated? Be sure to comment and tell me all about it! I love reading everyone’s thoughts. Speaking of, here are a couple more to ponder for season 6: what are you most looking forward to when the show returns? Is there anything they showed/hinted at you’re dreading seeing play out? I wanna know about that too! Well, that’s about it for now. Take care and I’ll see y’all next time!
