Looks like the spirit world was alive and kicking on Friday the 13th with the orginal J-Lo — Jennifer Love Hewitt on Ghost Whisperer having the best ratings with a 2.2/8. and with Shark 1.9/6, and Numbers 2.0/7 CBS did quite well on Friday night. No wonder their America’s number one watched network.
On Saturday, April 14th, COPS 2.0/7 and America’s Most Wanted 2.1/7 for Fox and 48 Hours Mystery came in with 2.0/6 for CBS .

On Sunday, April 15th, ABC took first, second, third and forth for Sunday. Desperate Housewives are not looking so desperate with 6.4/15 . The next closest ratings were for Brothers and Sisters at 4.7/11 . Extreme Makeover: Home Edition with 4.0/10 and America’s Funniest Home Videos with 3.0/9 .

All this info and so much more can be found after the jump. . .

How do I read these ratings?

A Nielsen rating may look like this:

8pm – NBC – TVgasm The TV Show – 10.0/18

Focus on the 10.0/18. The RATING, 10.0, on the left represents the actual number of households that watched a show. One rating point equals 1,102,000 households. The SHARE, 18, on the right represents the show’s proportion of the total households watching television at that time.

For example, TVgasms TV Show has a 10 rating/18 share. That means 11,020,000 households are tuned in to the show and 18% of all the households with a TV turned on are watching that show.

Ratings and Share are customarily broken down for various DEMOs — a demographic grouping of viewers, like 18-49 adults or 2-12 children or 18-34 women, etc. Advertisers, and therefore networks, covet the 18-49 adult demo, and so tend to concentrate on that number.
