"LIVE" SIMPSONS RATE
Although
Desperate Housewives was Sunday's top-rated series,
The Simpsons provided the night's biggest Nielsen news: The animated comedy's spot-on live-action opening, as well as the vocal and writing talents of
The Office's
Ricky Gervais, helped attract the show's largest audience in almost four months. CBS'
60 Minutes also got a boost from its interview with
Tiger Woods. Imagine how much better the news program could have done if it, in turn, had been aired as a cartoon.
