A total of 6.4 million viewers tuned in to watch Marge Gamer last night. If you do the math based on our last ratings post, this makes the episode the second-least watched premiere episode on record (behind Season 15’s The Way We Weren’t with 6.2 million). An 8.30 repeat has more viewers (6.5 million), as did two repeats of Family Guy (6.5 million). It was a night for new lows, as ABC’s Desperate Housewives also scored an all-time low in the adult demographic. At 8pm, The Simpsons was in third place behind Extreme Makeover and The Amazing Race All Stars.
Meanwhile, The Boys Of Bummer has been moved ahead to air next Sunday to avoid people drawing comparisons between ‘Stop Or My Dog Will Shoot’ and the recent Virginia Tech shootings. That episode will now air on May 13 while Crook & Ladder airs May 6.
