The overnight rankings for the Old Yeller Belly and I’m Spelling As Fast As I Can double have been posted by Zap2it, and it’s a similar result to last week. “The first hour of CBS’ Lucille Ball biopic opened strongly with an 8.2/13. ABC was second with the special ‘Tim Allen Presents: A User’s Guide to Home Improvement,’ which constructed a 6.6/11. FOX was third with a new episode of ‘The Simpsons’ (6.3/11) and a repeat of the yellow family (6.6/11).” Again, the rerun rated higher than the new episode. With this occuring last week as well as in February for the 300th episode double, could Fox be looking at moving The Simpsons to 8:30pm? Probably not, but always a possibility.
Update: CalendarLive reports “Lucy” came in at #21 for the week, with 12.91 million viewers. At #24 was the Simpsons rerun (12.45 million) and Old Yeller Belly came in at #32 (11.59 million). Both episodes actually beat out “Tim Allen Presents..” which came in at #34 for the week.
