The AfterElton.com Ranking Roundup: "Brothers & Sisters" is no "Housewives"
Welcome to the AfterElton.com Ranking Roundup, a regular feature where we round up the rankings from various sources as to what is, and isn't, hot in gay male entertainment! Top Rated Gay-Themed TV Shows(from Nielsen, for week ending 11/30)
As always, ratings for Brothers & Sisters dropped off considerably from its lead-in, Desperate Housewives (which introduced a new gay sub-plot on Sunday). But B&S is still performing very strongly in — and winning — key female demos, and it's the number one non-sports show for all young adults (it's up against NBC's Sunday Night Football). The whole world knows that Rosie O'Donnell's first — and probably last — foray into the variety show (which included newly-out guest Clay Aiken) tanked in the ratings, but it still beat the one of the few remaining airings of the now-cancelled Pushing Daisies. A repeat showing of last year's Holiday in Handcuffs, starring an oft-shirtless Mario Lopez, did surprisingly well. The Family Channel TV movie includes a small gay sub-plot. As the World Turns was up 5% (for the week ending 11/17), but is still down more than 10% from this point last year, sparking cancellation rumors. More ratings and analysis after the jump!
