ABC 3D/Nielsen ratings

[P3D Lawrence Kaufman <kaufman@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Question: Did 3D TV help ABC?
Answer: Maybe.

It looks like there were some positives (for ABC)
in the National Nielsen Prime-Time TV rankings:

Even though NBC led the week, its viewership
thus far is down compared to last May, while 
CBS and ABC have shown a yearly gain and Fox 
has dropped only slightly.  
 
There were 107 shows ranked last week, here is
the rankings for the 3D shows:
7.   Home Improvement            20.58 (million)
12. Ellen                                   17.95
13. Spin City                             17.04
14. The Drew Carey Show        16.77
32. Sabrina, the teenage witch 13.16     
35. America's funniest/videos    13.04
47. Step by Step                        11.60
50. Family Matters                     11.39
57. Coach                                  10.81
 
Coach had a 3D ending, yet it wasn't included in the 
list of 3D ABC shows and it ranked the lowest.

Other trivial ratings stuff:
Network rankings, last week (average viewers):
NBC.....................14.33 (million)    
CBS.....................13.98
ABC.....................12.27
FOX.....................10.57
UPN.......................4.19

NBC......................15.16
CBS......................13.76
ABC......................13.50
FOX......................11.65

Now back to your regularly scheduled programs.
