"Deal or No Deal" won a soft 8 p.m. hour for NBC with a 5.3/9. A "Price Is Right" prime-time special drew a 4.7/8 for CBS. "'Til Death," 3.6/6, and "Back to You," 4.5/7, put FOX in third, slightly ahead of "Wife Swap" on ABC. "America's Next Top Model" delivered a 2.8/5 for The CW.

Wednesday 8 p.m.
Deal or No Deal (NBC)
Viewers: 7.97 million (#1), A18-49: 1.8 rating/6 share (#4)

‘Til Death (Fox) – 8 p.m.
Viewers: 5.53 million (#4), A18-49: 2.0/ 7 (#1t)

Back to You (Fox) – 8:30 p.m.
Viewers: 6.97 million (#3), A18-49: 2.5/ 7 (#1)

Worth noting for Back to You was growth out of ‘Til Death of a considerable 1.44 million viewers and 25 percent among adults 18-49. That should be more than enough to warrant Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton a second season.

Also airing in the 8 p.m. hour was the time period premiere of CBS’ The Price is Right (Viewers: #2, 7.28 million; A18-49: #5, 1.7/ 5), ABC’s Wife Swap (Viewers: #4, 6.03 million; A18-49: #2, 2.2/ 7), and America’s Next Top Model on the CW (Viewers: #5, 4.16 million; A18-49: #5, #3, 2.0/ 6).

I was hoping for better, especially because I though last night's episode was incredibly good. I think in the final ratings, though, the # of viewers will go up a bit. It should definitely be doing over 7 million at this point.

I think BTY is what it is at this point in time. It is usually around 7 million viewers per episode. To me, while not outstanding, is still pretty decent considering it 's on FOX.

At this point in time, it is out of our hands. All we can do is hope that FOX sees enough potential to give it a full uninterrupted second season.

That's right, considering that some sitcoms on the Big 3 are doing in the same vicinity of viewers.

It was up in the finals, 7.13 million viewers, which is basically just a tad off from what it did last week. At least it's consistent.

Wow, that is impressive to me. While not considered a "home run," it was right up there with two shows considered hits...TPIR and Deal or No Deal.

It was number 1 among Adults 18-48. That should make FOX happy :)

Do you think BTY is currently benefiting from AI? I doubt it. Usually, the results show builds up in the last half hour when they announce the results. They should have aired BTY at 9:30 and AI at 8:30. Why Fox, why :confused:
