Simpsons TV Ratings

by

So, after all these years, The Simpsons are still going strong. Last Sunday’s season opener featured Stephen Colbert, and, one can argue, that the season is starting off after a strong summer that saw the success of the first feature length Simpsons film. This time around, rating wise, The Simpsons didn’t boast of the highest numbers, but if one takes into mind that it’s football season, the show didn’t fare that badly. According to Reuters:

Primetime began with Fox getting a 15.3 million NFL runover between 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., which seemed to dampen the first half-hour of the season premiere of “60 Minutes”

The Simpsons didn’t do half bad:

The season premieres of “The Simpsons” (9.4 million, 4.7/12) and “King of the Hill” (7.7 million, 3.7/9) prevailed against CBS’ “Power of 10″ (7.5 million, 1.7/4) and the second hour of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” (7.8 million, 2.5/6).
