CBS took a gamble this week by moving its new show “My Big Fat Greek Life” to 8pm Sundays, to compete against The Simpsons. So how did the shows fare? The gamble paid off in its first week, as The Simpsons ratings were a far cry from a fortnight earlier in which it celebrated its 300th episode. “CBS took 8 p.m. thanks to the strong ‘premiere’ of My Big Fat Greek Life. After a strong debut after Everybody Loves Raymond on Monday night, the Nia Vardalos sitcom showed legs with a 10.6/16, boosting ratings for Becker, 8.6/13, as well. FOX finished second with two episodes of The Simpsons. The new episode, ‘A Star Is Born-Again’ with guest voice Helen Fielding, scored a 7.7/12, while a repeat landed a 7.4/11.” Still, second place isn’t bad, nor is it a new position for The Simpsons to be in. But with a new show, nobody can be too sure what is to come in future weeks.
