The ratings are in, and last night’s episode ‘Homer & Lisa Exchange Cross Words’ received a total of 8.52 million viewers. This is slightly up on last week’s episode, which is good news since viewership trends for previous November episodes show that figures tend to hover around 10.5 million.
The show also became most watched show on FOX all night, sharing the honor with Family Guy which also had 8.52 million viewers. King Of The Hill had 7.04 million viewers at 8.30 and American Dad had 6.78 million. FOX was fourth overall for the night and among viewers 18-49. The Simpsons was also fourth in its timeslot at 8pm.
There is no episode next week, but ‘Mypods and Broomsticks’ airs November 30. Episode details are now available in the right column.

Solidly consitant. However would be nicer to be a wee higher than 8 and a half million.
Nice though to be almost beating Family Guy ;). But y’know, cant have everything

i actually thought this was quite a weak episode.
the same old story, lisa gets a talent, homer does something wrong, lisa gets mad, but forgives him in the end.
did anyone else not see that?

yeh, zach, I noticed that… Of course, its not surprising that Lisa can do crossword because she is cleaver.
I think there would be no eps next week because of thanks giving (on my b’day hahaha)

Yeah, but it was nicely done, it wasnt revolutionary but showed a nice example of Homer and Lisas relationship.
