I was kind of surprised to see he was hosting it, since he's always wanted to get away from the "Urkel" character and all.

yeah i know im glad he not doing a gary coleman though he hasnt talked about steve urkel n a longtime guess we can put away them dumb rumors of ppl saying he died. guess he does like steve urkel it is kind of confusing

Sounds like all 3 shows are doing well, and about the same numbers. Family Matters has really proven to be a hit at 11pm.

Family Matters doing well is defintely what I expected.

N@N is again is the Cable Network of 2008

Yeah, I also expected Family Matters to do well - it did great on ABC Family all those years, and it looks like all that audience made the move to NAN.

I thought George Lopez was doing much better than that, though. I'm guessing the latenight airings are factored in to the ratings? And Home Improvement is doing better than I thought, for airing at 9pm.

George Lopez does very well in BOTH 10pm-11pm and 1-2am, even though they are the same airings. Home Improvement does better at 12-1am than 9-10.

Probably because 12am is a better sampling time than 9pm. 9pm is still early evening and 12am is when most are in position to go to bed
