NBC Wins Sunday as ABC's 'Housewives' Sits Out
Monday January 3 3:39 PM ET
With "Desperate Housewives" sitting out the night, NBC was back on top of the Sunday standings with solid performances from dramas "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" and "Crossing Jordan."
ABC was way off of its game with a weak turnout for its 9-11 p.m. "Dynasty: Making of a Guilty Pleasure" TV movie, which brought in only 5.9 million viewers and 2.2 rating/5 share in the adults 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary estimates from Nielsen Media Research.
"Law & Order: Criminal Intent" hit its second-highest marks of the season the 9 p.m. hour where it has trailed ABC's red-hot "Housewives" since the latter show arrived on the scene in October. "Criminal Intent" was the night's most-watched program with an average of 14.9 million viewers and 4.8/11 in adults 18-49.
At 10 p.m., "Jordan" (14.1 million, 4.6/12) easily won the hour against ABC's "Dynasty" and CBS' telecast of theatrical "Behind Enemy Lines." NBC also had a better-than-usual start to the night with a solid delivery from 7 p.m. newsmagazine "Dateline NBC" (12.9 million, 3.1/8), which benefited 8 p.m. drama "American Dreams" (8.3 million, 2.6/6).
CBS' schedule was thrown off for the night by a football overrun that spilled over into at least the first half-hour of primetime. Fox ran fourth for the night with its 7-10 p.m. telecast of the 1994 Arnold Schwarzenegger hit "True Lies" (7.1 million, 2.9/7).
For the night, NBC prevailed in total viewers (12.5 million) and adults 18-49 (3.8/9). Reuters/Hollywood Reporter
