ABC was up by 67% in the timeslot when compared year-to-year to an episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. It was up by a whopping 135%, when compared to last week’s installment of Makeover in the same timeslot. It was a very good showing for the network right out of the gate.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
