Fast National ratings for Sunday, Nov. 4, 2007
The most-watched show on TV Sunday aired mostly in the afternoon, but its prime-time finish boosted CBS to a ratings win for the night.

ABC was a distant second, averaging 5.0/8 with a NASCAR overrun and "America's Funniest Home Videos." A pair of "Simpsons" repeats drew a 4.6/7 for FOX to finish a little ahead of "Football Night in America" on NBC. "CW Now" and "Aliens in America" made hardly a blip for The CW.

swimmer12:
how do u read the ratings?
mswood:
Swimmer12 here is what futon critic puts up as an example.
http://www.thefutoncritic.com/ratings.aspx
So what does all this crap mean? Here's a quick guide to understanding these numbers:
"Heroes" (households: 8.1/12, #4, half-hour: 7.69%; adults 18-49: 6.6, #1, half-hour: 4.69%)
8.1 = "Heroes's" household rating, which indicates 8.1% of all households in the U.S. watched this broadcast
12 = "Heroes's" household share, which indicates 12% of all households watching TV in the U.S. watched this broadcast
#4 = "Heroes's" household ranking for that night (T denotes a tie)
7.69% = Gain or loss of household audience between the first half-hour and the last half-hour
6.6 = "Heroes's" adults 18-49 rating, which indicates 6.6% of all adults 18-49 in the U.S. watched this broadcast
#1 = "Heroes's" adults 18-49 ranking for that night (T denotes a tie)
4.69% = Gain or loss of adults 18-49 audience between the first half-hour and the last half-hour
Some other stuff to keep in mind:
· Ratings are percentages NOT flat numbers. A 1.0 household rating equals 1% of all households in the U.S. A 1.0 adults 18-49 ratings equals 1% of all adults 18-49 in the U.S.
· For the 2007-08 season, there are an estimated 112,800,000 television households in the U.S. so 1% of that equals 1,128,000 households. Note that a household may contain more than one person.
· For the 2007-08 season, there are an estimated 131,050,000 adults between the ages of 18 and 49 in the U.S. so 1% of that equals 1,310,500 people.
