Ratings: Ghost Whisperer Speaks to Another Season High
How Friday's fare faired:
8 pm/ETGhost Whisperer saw 11.67 million total viewers (up six percent week-to-week) tune in for the big twist regarding Melinda's husband, Jim. That's good for yet another new season's best. (The big question, of course, is how many return next Friday.) Trailing 5th Grader (5.45 mil) and Deal or No Deal (5.25 mil), Supernanny delivered 4.5 mil, on par with the usual Wife Swap. The CW's Chris and The Game did what they usually do - 1.83 mil and 1.7 mil, respectively.
9 pmThe Price Is Right's salute to the troops ("I bid $1.49 million on that cruise missile!") brought in 7.3 million viewers, a far cry from what the NCIS repeats have been doing in the time slot. Debuting to 4.86 mil, Super-Manny built on his distaff counterpart's numbers. Behind Lyrics (5.1 mil), NBC's Crusoe matched last week's 4.17 mil.
10 pmWith a weaker lead-in, Numbers tumbled 17 percent, to 9.26 mil. A Barbara Walters special did eight mil (on par with a typical 20/20), while the now-cancelled Lipstick Jungle (3.58 mil) turned a few extra heads.
