A Hard Day's Knight: Ratings

The ratings are in for last nights episode, and they are good. Knight Rider was number two for the night with 7.65 viewers up from 6.7 million the week before. This is above the premier of 7.3 million viewers. It was number one in the time period again for all male demos, but for the first time won the adult 18-49 demo, even beating the playoffs on Fox.

From Zap2It:

In a tightly bunched 8 p.m. hour, FOX's coverage of the National League Championship Series (5.0/8) had the most viewers, even though CBS' "New Adventures of Old Christine" and " Gary Unmarried" which averaged 5.2/8, had a slightly better household rating. NBC's " Knight Rider" was right behind at 4.9/8. " Pushing Daisies," 4.2/7, improved slightly on its previous performances for ABC. An " America's Next Top Model" clip show drew a 2.2/4 for The CW.

From TV by the Numbers:

Pushing Daisies gained ~740,000 viewers versus last week's fast affiliate ratings and though that is some good news, the 18-49 demo rating was actually slightly down versus last week. The New Adventures of Old Christine and Gary Unmarried were also up slightly versus last week, and Knight Rider was up over last week by more than 900,000 viewers and also improved it's 18-49 demo performance. People can slam Knight Rider -- but it does especially well with men in the 18-34 and 18-49 demos and has won those demos a couple of weeks (though last week finished second to Bones).
