The end of season ratings slump continued this week. A viewer figure was not available this week (story will be edited it one arrives) but the episode titled ‘Bart-Mangled Banner’ got beaten by most of its main competition.
NBC moved into first at 8pm with the 6.9/12 for the second hour of “Dateline.” ABC was up to second with the 6.3/11 for “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” CBS dropped to third with the first hour of “Helter Skelter.” FOX was fourth with “The Simpsons” (5.0/9) and “That ’70s Show” (4.7/8). The 9:30 Simpsons repeat also came in fourth place, which combined with other programming cemented Fox as the #4 network for the night. The season finale of The Simpsons airs this Sunday.
