Ratings: In The Name Of The Grandfather
A total of 6.15 million viewers tuned in to watch In The Name Of The Grandfather last night, despite its availability on the net all week due to an exclusive screening in the UK/Ireland. The figures aren’t excellent, but these days we’re just happy it hasn’t set a new record low. The episode attracted 511,000 viewers on Sky 1 in Ireland earlier this week, more than doubling Sky 1′s previous highest audience for any program in Ireland. A further 957,000 watched the episode in the UK. These international figures, of course, are not included in the North American ratings.
Fox was fourth overall for the night, and third among adults 18-49. King Of The Hill had 5.49 million viewers, Family Guy had 7.45 million, and American Dad had 5.85 million.

Loading ...A new episode titled ‘Wedding For Disaster’ airs next Sunday night on Fox.
yay! ratings are getting higher, its not perfect but good that they are improving. I watched it on sky and the uk are getting good ratings for the simpsons seeing that its muuuuuuuuuuuuch smaller then the US.
Yay, yay for ratings, it’s weird that for the UK just under 1 million viewers is great ratings for Sky. I’m glad it did well as I thouroughly enjoyed this episode
This is really great news for the show!
This only proves that a got episodes give high ratings!
I hope that next episode will bring more that 6.5 millions, and it’s also great that there is a big number of UK viewers, but it is probably only this time because the plot of this episode was in Ireland…
The Simpsons definitely should have gotten higher ratings than this. At least the ratings are higher than last weeks. Lets hope that the ratings continue to get higher. Family Guy sucked yesterday. I only watched part of the episode to see why they were getting higher ratings than the Simpsons. I have no Idea why. I used to like Family Guy, but it has lost it’s edge. I wouldn’t be surprised if Family Guy got canceled any time soon.
It’s too bad the ratings are not very high. I thought “In the Name of the Grandfather” was by far the best of the HD episodes so far.
I’ll be the first to admit: this was better than I thought it was gonna be!
Maybe the show’s getting better?!?!
Or, “Family Guy” & “American Dad” are getting CRAPPIER!
Ridiculous, first ever episode aired in the UK first and I blinkin miss it. Ah well.
Great for the show in the UK, should do it more often
boy, i think that was just terrible…. it was boring and stupid. deffinetly my least favourite episode of the season
wow thats huge ratings in Ireland particually for sky which barely anyone has, i expected more stereotypes in the episode but i was surprised and it was good apart from the ending which wasnt
Yeah, i was thinking about you the other day. happens all the time
ratings are getting higher – it is true.
The Simpsons – Eternity)
