There are numerous sexual photoshop possibilities in here.

NBC averaged an 18.3 rating/31 share for the night, beating the combined total of the other four networks. The record will show that CBS finished second, way, way back at 3.6/6. ABC, 2.5/4, took third, followed by FOX, 1.6/3, and The CW, 0.5/1.

18.3 against 3.6, heh.

NBC's adults 18-49 rating was 11.0 for the night, again blowing away the rest of the field. CBS averaged 1.3 to top the also-rans, beating out ABC's 1.1 and FOX's 1.0. The CW hardly registered.

Coverage of the Olympics from Beijing drew a 13.9/26 for NBC at 7 p.m. CBS' "60 Minutes" earned a 4.4/8 to finish second. "America's Funniest Home Videos," 2.7/5, put ABC in third. A pair of "'Til Death" reruns gave FOX fourth for the hour, beating "One Tree Hill" on The CW.

The Olympics, with heavy emphasis on gymnastics and swimming, improved to 18.8/32 at 8 p.m. CBS stayed in second as "Big Brother 10" delivered a 4.1/7. A repeat of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," 2.4/4, on ABC edged "The Simpsons," 2.0/3, and "Family Guy," 2.2/4, on FOX. The CW aired reruns of "Everybody Hates Chris" and "Aliens in America."

NBC's coverage peaked at 9 p.m. with a 20.6/32, drawing better than 37 million viewers for the hour. ABC's "EM: Home Edition" and CBS' "Million Dollar Password" tied for second at 3.1/5. "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" posted a 1.6/3 for FOX. "The Game" and "Girlfriends" finished the night for The CW.

At 10 p.m., the Olympics dipped slightly to 20.0/33. "Cold Case," 2.7/4, kept CBS in front of ABC and "Desperate Housewives," 1.8/3.

Shocking that America's Funniest Home Videos didn't do any better.

But seriously, how does The Simpsons lose to Extreme Makeover, though?

That Ty Pennington (obvious relation to Chad) is a dreamboat, and the dirty 30 crowd all want him.

Plus the fact that it was a rerun (I believe) hurt The Simpsons.

I'll pretend that I didn't read this. I hope you're not talking about yourself.

He appeals to confused Canadian kids like Foster

does anyone else find it annoying when people try to change how a last name traditionally sounds? How the hell do you get Natalie COGGLIN out out of Coughlin? I've never, ever heard it pronounced COGG-LIN...always COUGH-LIN

[Kingdom]

who really cares?

[realmofotalk]

No, no, it's not Roy Os-walt, it's Oze-walt.

Americans win 3 golds (Phelps, Coughlin, and Piersol), 1 silver (Graber), and 2 bronzes (Vanderkaay and...i forget the last one) in about 20 minutes of seperation. Nice haul there.

Phelps and Piersol also both set WR's.

3 down, 5 to go for Phelps.

[realmofotalk]

Not to mention the stupid Canadians. It's not Ben-noit, it's Benwaaaah. It's not Roy, it's Waaaaaah.
