Who Do You Think You Are? Gets 7.15 Million Viewers

The ratings are out for Friday night. “Who Do You Think You Are?”, featuring Emmitt Smith did well, but was still edged out by Ghost Whisperer.

Friday, March 12 – 8pm/7 C&M

• CBS: “Ghost Whisperer” (7.85 million viewers, 4.9/9 households)
• NBC: “Who Do You Think You Are?” (7.15 million, 4.5/8)
• ABC: “Supernanny” (4.9 million, 3.2/6)
• FOX: “House” rerun (3.1 million, 2.0/4)
• The CW: “America’s Next Top Model” rerun (1.7 million, 1.2/2)

As a comparison, check out the numbers for the debut show which aired last week starring Sarah Jessica Parker. Note that market share, as well as the number of viewers is up for “Who Do You Think You Are?, but Ghost Whisperer’s numbers are also up. It’s hard to beat fictional dead folks with real ones it seems…

• NBC: “Who Do You Think You Are?” (6.9 million viewers, 4.6/8 households)
