The Presidential Inauguration got the highest TV ratings of any Presidential Inauguration in 20 years, almost 5,000,000 viewers. But people still prefer entertainment over politics. Here are the top 10 ratings for the first week of January, 2009:
27,800,000 watched the Colts/Chargers NFL game
14,4000,000 Desperate Housewives
13,4000,000 each watched the Sugar Bowl or NCIS
12,7000,000 Cold Case
12,3000,000 watched 60 Minutes (ever notice how annoying that is?)
11,900,000 Two And A Half Men
10,900,000 Extreme Makeover Home Edition
10,6000,000 Superstars Of Dance
Looks like over twice as many people wanted to watch other people dance than watch any inauguration!
