FOX won the night led by So You Think You Can Dance which averaged a 3.5/10 (rating/share) with adults 18-49. Wipeout made its season debut with a solid 3.2/10, though that was down from its premiere in late June last year (June 24, 2008) when it averaged a 3.7/12. The Goode Family had a mediocre premiere with a 1.6/5 and losing half its Wipeout lead-in among 18-49 year olds. Still it did better than Surviving Suburbia (1.0/3) and The Unusuals (1.2/3) which both had their lowest 18-49 performance to date.
CBS aired a special, George Strait ACM Artist of the Decade All-Star Concert. It's 2.2/6 was only about 10% better than the repeat of Criminal Minds (2.0/6) that followed it.
Over on NBC were repeats of the Law & Order franchise.
Previous Wednesday overnight reports are available for comparison.

Nielsen TV Ratings: ©2009 The Nielsen Company. All Rights Reserved.
Definitions:
Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live football game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.
Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.
Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)
Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs which are currently in approximately 24.4% of all U.S. TV households. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

I had to change the channel after watching 5 minutes of Goode Family. It was that bad.
Isn’t “Goode” made by the same people who made King of the Hill? I’m shocked it wasn’t better. Too bad.
Now how about that propane!
full half hour data table now posted above.
I love how Dance gained viewers every half-hour. I love that show. Hope I remember to keep watching. I wonder if it will do better or worse in the fall.
@God Particle
AMEN ! I however made it 10 minutes, it is BADDDDDDD !
i thought the goode family was funny last night. people just dont know how to watch television anymore. all this reality garbage is killing television!!!
Yay for Wipeout! Seems to have for the most part maintained its audience from last summer.
I’m glad America hasn’t lost its pleasure in seeing people fall down.
It looks like everybody got snookered in the media with the big link on Drudge Report yesterday, claiming The Goode Family was anti-green, anti-liberal. Watching it last night, it was clear it was anything but that, with the religious abstinence crowd shown as the “real freaks,” alternating with good-natured, innocuous jabs at libs.
Worse, it wasn’t funny in the least. Surviving Suburbia, though, wasn’t too bad (first time catching it this season).
So which cartoon do you like better: The Goode Family or Sit Down Shut Up?
After starting slowly The George Strait concert really turned into a blockbuster!
“So which cartoon do you like better: The Goode Family or Sit Down Shut Up?”
That’s like asking would you rather have someone shit in your mouth or shit in your fruit loops. Neither would be a pleasant experience, just like the shows. I’ll say that SDSU was slightly less horrible.
I saw “Surviving Suburbia” for the first time yesterday too – it honestly wasn’t that bad! (and the neighbour was so sexy! lol) I’m surprised it did so poorly last night.
I also watched “Goode” and it was OK….there were a few LOL moments, but I don’t think I’d go out of my way to remember watching this show every week.
“That’s like asking would you rather have someone shit in your mouth or shit in your fruit loops. Neither would be a pleasant experience, just like the shows.”
But you don’t have to taste the Fruit Loops
I rewatched an episode of Chuck.
What’s wrong with you people? Wipeout is so much fun!
“The Goode Family had a mediocre premiere” – huh? Just because the shows that followed did worse doesn’t mask the fact that it lost such a high amount of its lead-in. It’s premiere was just plain bad.
I didn’t catch the Goode family, but I have a hard time believing that it would be worse than “Sit Down, Shut Up”
Hi to of topic here but will FOX do the remote free Tv thing again this yr with Dollhouse and Fringe?
I didn’t catch “The Goode Family”, but I find it hard to beleive that it would be worse than “Sit Down, Shut Up”
I’ll say one thing for the producers of SYTYCD, they certainly know how to schedule. This show comes on at a time when the competition is arguably at its lowwest point of the year.
