Ratings: Take My Life, Please
The switch to high definition, which accounted for a major shift in the lack of promotion, wasn’t enough to save The Simpsons from another lacklustre ratings performance. While Take My Wife, Please did not break new lows, it received a total of 6.82 million viewers. It is the third least watched episode of the season but the best ratings since November, which is an improvement at least.
The show was in fourth place at 8:00, and its ratings held up well compared to the competition:
CBS – The Amazing Race (9.42 million)
NBC – Dateline (8.27 million)
ABC – Extreme Makeover: Home Edition ( 7.59 million)
Other shows on Fox for the night rated like so:
7:00 – NASCAR (5.55 million)
7:30 – American Dad (r) (3.44 million)
8:30 – King Of The Hill (5.32 million)
9:00 – Family Guy (7.33 million)
9:00 – American Dad (5.88 million)
Yet another break around the corner for the show. The next episode ‘How The Test Was Won’ airs March 1st.
