field did a 1.4/5.
Overall, NBC scored a decent 2.5/8 on the night -- versus mostly rerun programming on the night.
ABC earned a 1.2/4 coming in second place. Two shows offered
up fresh programming on the night. "Secret Millionaire" at 8 p.m. did a 1.1/4 and "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" scored a 1.2/4. Both shows were down a bit from their last respective original
airings.
Fox, with reruns of is Sunday animated comedies, came up with an overall 1.1/4; Univision,was at a 0.9/3 and CBS, a 0.8/2.
