For the day and time (Sunday, 8:00 PM) -- from Zap 2 it:
QUOTE FOX was second with a new episode of \"The Simpsons\" (6.1/10) and a new \"Oliver Beene\" (5.0/8 ).
The
6.1 is a
rating, which is the percentage of households in the world that have television that are watching the show. So that basically means that of every house that has a tv set, whether it was on or off that night, 6.1% of them were watching Al.
The
10 is a
share, which is the percentage of households watching that show. So that basically means that of every house that has a tv set that was on that night, 10% of them were watching Al.
