How is it surprising? I knew it would since the night the pilot premiered.

Read this, instead of just looking at overall rankings every week, this tells you a lot:

“8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter” is a strong lead-off program for ABC on Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. The comedy is bringing ABC enormous time period improvement, boosting the
Network’s totals by 42% in Total Viewers and by 35% in Adults 18-49 over the same point last season.
The show is a solid second in the half-hour this season among Adults 18-49 (4.6/13), behind only Fox with the mega-hit “American Idol” and “That 70’s Show” (it was number one before “American Idol” premiered). In its half-hour, “8 Simple Rules” tops NBC by 70% (2.7/8) and CBS by 53% (2.9/8) among Adults 18-49. “8 Simple Rules” qualifies as ABC’s mostwatched comedy (12.4 million) and its No. 1 scripted program in Total Viewers, tied with “My Wife and Kids.”
“8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter” stars John Ritter, Katey Sagal, Kaley Cuoco, Amy Davidson and Martin Spanjers. Tracy Gamble, who created the series, also serves as executive producer, along with Tom Shadyac, Flody Suarez and Michael Bostick. The series is from Touchstone Television.

That's great! I knew it would last for more than a season. And I also don't see why people think American Idol is so great...people are getting too attached to these reality shows. Sitcoms kick @$$!
