Thanks to Nielsen Media Research and TVWeek.com (and thecubsfan.com for the inspiration), here now are the FINAL reported ratings for the big two programs from LAST week:
Both hours tied for second amongst cable programs for the week - #1 was the Saints/Jets game with 5,170,000 viewers
11/25 SmackDown! rating/share 20:00-20:30 2.7/5 20:30-21:00 2.8/5 21:00-21:30 3.0/5 21:30-22:00 3.0/5 Overall 2.9/5 (5th place for UPN ahead of The WB)
So....surprisingly, at least as far as this week's set of ratings is concerned, both shows have just about the same number of viewers - well, households anyway. In the 2005-06 season one ratings point represents (get ready) 1,102,139 households. Give or take.
Next week we should be able to have the Tuesday special's ratings as well. STAY TUNED
