Jennifer Love Hewitt of 'Ghost Whisperer'

Fast National ratings for Friday, Nov. 24, 2006

Three of the Big Four networks ran movies on Friday night. The one that didn't, CBS, came out on top of the ratings.

The Eye averaged a 7.0 rating/13 share in primetime to win the night easily. NBC was second in households at 4.5/8, although ABC, 4.4/8, had a few more total viewers. FOX took fourth with a 3.2/6, and The CW earned a 2.5/4.

CBS also led among adults 18-49 with a 2.8 rating. ABC finished second in the demographic at 2.4, while FOX and NBC tied for third at 2.1. The CW trailed with a 1.3.

"Ghost Whisperer," 6.7/12, put CBS on top at 8 p.m. NBC's showing of "The Family Man," 4.1/7, edged "Shrek 2," 4.0/7, on ABC. FOX went with the Jim Carrey comedy "Bruce Almighty." The first hour of "Friday Night Smackdown!" delivered a 2.4/4 for The CW.

At 9 p.m., "Close to Home" built a little on its lead-in to finish with a 6.8/12 for CBS. "Shrek 2," 4.7/8, moved ABC ahead of NBC and "The Family Man." FOX improved to 3.4/6 with the close of "Bruce Almighty," and "Smackdown!" ticked up to 2.7/5 in its second hour.

"Numb3rs" finished the night for CBS with a 7.4/14 at 10 p.m. The conclusion of "The Family Man" posted a 4.9/9 for NBC, and ABC's "20/20" came in at 4.6/9.

Ratings information is taken from fast national data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are preliminary and subject to change.

Hi, LSV04.

As The Bears understand it, the ACNielsen company scientifically selects about 1000 households which have the same age and sex makeup as the general population of TV viewers. Equipment is installed on each family's TV to monitor what they are watching and relay it to the rating service immediately. The percentages reported are for these Nielsen households. For example, if 100 males between 18 and 25 watch a certain show then it is reported that 10% of the young adult males are watching. To get the total audience size, they take the percentage of the size of the total US TV households -- about 110 million.

Does that help?
