From the Daily News:

Ratings Are Not All "Jake"

By RICHARD HUFF
DAILY NEWS TV EDITOR

ABC gave "Jake in Progress" the coveted "Desperate Housewives" time slot Sunday night, and the new series got half the audience the drama normally draws.

The two episodes of the John Stamos comedy - billed as a male "Sex and the City" - averaged just under 13 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research.

For comparison, "Desperate Housewives" - repeat and original episodes - have averaged 23.1 million viewers this season.

Stamos shouldn't get too upset, though. Last week wasn't great for any of the new shows that have launched during the midseason.

Also struggling to find an audience was NBC's critically acclaimed reality show "The Contender," which aired last Thursday in "ER's" time slot.

The Mark Burnettproduced series averaged 8.9 million viewers, half of what the medical drama draws. And when a new episode of "The Contender" aired Sunday, it drew just 6.9 million viewers against ABC's tough "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."

ABC's new drama "Blind Justice," from the producers of "NYPD Blue," averaged 12.3 million viewers.

Kelsey Grammer's "Sketch Show" for Fox averaged 5.39 million viewers, finishing well down the Nielsen charts.

The WB's new reality show "Starlet" averaged 2.1 million viewers.

I loved the "Ubusy?" episode tonight. My best episode so far.

I flipped by and watched a good part of it since 8pm was open, and it was pretty good. Not enough to turn me away from Survivor, but it's a decent alternative when it's not on. Ratings weren't that good

CBS stayed the night in first with the 6.2/10 for tournament basketball. NBC averaged a 6.0/10 for two episodes of "Will & Grace" and took second. The first pair of "Jake in Progress" episodes on ABC did a solid 5.0/8, nipping the returns for FOX's "The O.C." UPN was fifth with "WWE Smackdown," but The WB's Jeff Foxworthy special nearly caught up with a robust 2.9/5.

NBC grabbed first for the 9 p.m. hour with an 8.1/13 for an "Apprentice" clip show, by far the night's highest ratings. CBS' basketball dropped to second, but also improved to a 6.9/11. ABC's two repeat "Jake" episodes were third, doing almost the same numbers as the originals. UPN's "Smackdown" was fourth with a 3.4/5, beating the 2.8/4 for "Point Pleasant" on FOX. The WB trailed with an encore of "The Starlet."

While a 5.0/8 for the 8pm hour is not what I expected. That is still much higher than what Extreme Makeover or life as we know it did. The episodes averaged over 7 million viewers, good enough for now I guess. What is interesting is that the 9pm hour did better in adults 18-49 than the 8pm hour. Maybe they should move it 9pm next season, if it comes back.

If you missed last night's episodes, ABC has again scheduled encores for 9-10pm on Thursday, March 24:

"Jake In Progress" will air as one time only telecasts on Thursday, March 24, 2005 in the 9:00PM & 9:29PM ET/PT time periods.

Also, the new episodes at 8:00 and 8:30 will be formatted as one episode, but it really will be two episodes (same format as the March 13 preview, end credits at the end of the 8:30pm episode ONLY for both episodes).

The only reason it got those ratings are because Survivor was not on. With the NCAA tournament getting just a 6.4 and Survivor usually pulling in about a 14, Jake will go down when Survivor returns.
