I can't really tell from the way it's written, they say DOUBLE UP and the lowest "other" number is 13 million, so maybe we got at least 6 1/2 million. That would still be lower than last week and put us at 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 1/2 for the weeks we have been on the air this year.

Baseball, 'Housewives' Crush Sunday Competition
(Sunday, October 17 11:54 PM)
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Fast National ratings for Sunday, Oct. 17, 2004.
CBS started strong, but faltered late with a dud of a Sunday movie. ABC began the evening flat, but also had the night's most watched show. Still, it was FOX, with a thrilling extra-inning baseball playoff game between the Red Sox and Yankees (and the end of the National League game), that managed to grab first place for Sunday night.
Overall, FOX averaged a 9.0 rating/14 share, though all ratings are based on time period data and can be expected to change dramatically when the final reports are in. CBS was a close second with an 8.7/13, though ABC averaged more viewers to go with an 8.4/13. NBC was well back in fourth with a 6.5/10 and The WB did a 1.9/3 to trail.
Among adults 18-49, though, ABC grabbed the top spot, doing a 5.7 rating in the key demographic, beating FOX's 5.3 rating. CBS was third with a 3.4 rating as NBC stayed fourth with a 3.2 rating. The WB did a 1.3 rating.
CBS won the 7 p.m. hour with the 11.3/19 for "60 Minutes." Second went to FOX, which got an 8.1/14 from the end of the Astros-Cardinals playoff game and a Sunday sports recap show. "Dateline NBC" was third with a 5.1/9, leaving ABC in fourth with "America's Funniest Home Videos." On The WB, "Steve Harvey's Big Time" was fifth.
"Cold Case" did a 10.9/17 to give CBS the 8 p.m. win, though FOX's baseball (9.2/14) and ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" (8.6/13) both easily beat the forensic drama in the key demographics. Each of the top three networks double up NBC's "American Dreams." "Charmed" gave The WB its best hour of the night with a 2.9/4.
At 9 p.m. "Desperate Housewives" continued its early season momentum with a 12.8/18 and the night's highest 18-49 ratings. FOX's baseball was steady with a 9.8/14. On NBC, a stunt episode of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" allowed viewers to choose the ending and did a 7.0/10 in its first half-hour and exploded to an 8.9/13 in its second. Going in the other direction was CBS' Rob Lowe telefilm "Perfect Strangers," which did an 8.8/13 in its first half-hour and then the botton dropped out, leaving it with a 5.5/8 in its second 30 minutes. On The WB, "Jack & Bobby" reached its lowest ratings of the young season.
NBC closed the night in first with the 8.5/13 for "Crossing Jordan." ABC's "Boston Legal" continued its slow decline, doing a 7.6/12. CBS' movie barely registered.

So it might be good news, but it might be bad. I guess next week will tell more.
And I don't want to hear about how crappy baseball is.......plenty of other networks got "numbers" with the baseball game on. And Dateline did another 9 million.
Peace.
