Published on April 10, 2007 | Email this article

ABC’s Desperate Housewives took a big hit when The Sopranos made its much-publicized return on HBO Sunday night.

Housewives was down to a series-low 6.0 rating among 18-49s, and down 23 percent from its season average of 7.8, writes Media Life.

ABC did win the night, however, with a 4.2 rating and 11 share. CBS was next with a 2.9/8; NBC had a 2.1/6; Fox netted a 1.9/5; Univision snagged a 1.2/3; and CW grabbed a 0.6/2.
