Here is one the better ratings stories of the season. The Monday night season finale of Jon and Kate Plus 8, a reality series about the day-to-day life of super-sized family, beat such network series as Fox's 24 and NBC's Heroes with the advertiser-dream audience of women 18 to 34.
It also topped Two and Half Men and Rules of Engagement with that same audience. Both comedies are on CBS.
Meanwhile, nothing on cable came close to Jon and Kate in any major demographic.
The series, which is produced by The Learning Channel, a Maryland-based cable operation, was featured as part of trend story about TV and big families, that I wrote in my Z on TV column for the Sunday Sun two weeks ago. You can read it here.
Here is what the trade magazine, Brodcasting & Cable, had to say about the show's finale on Monday:
TLC's hit reality show Jon and Kate Plus 8's season finale Monday night was the highest-rated episode in six demographics. The show was watched by 4.6 million viewers and ranked first among all ad-supported cable in the 9:30 p.m. half-hour among HH, W25-54, P18-49, W18-49, and W18-34.
The final episode topped CBS' hit comedy block Rules of Engagement and Two and a Half Men, Fox's 24, NBC's Heroes and the CW's One Tree Hill in the 9 p.m. hour among W18-34.
The program was the highest-rated episode ever among HH (with a 3.4 rating), P2+, P25-54, W25-54, P18-49, and W18-49.
