    That is some huge fall for Oprah, but what a rise for Friends’ 54345345th repeat! Piha Rescue’s rise is also impressive! And the two afternoon cartoons on FOUR is again on FOUR’s Top 5!

    Castle wins 9:30pm with 5+ with an 8.3, Desperate Housewives tops 18-39 demo (13.6/34) and The Amazing Race tops 18-49 demo in the evening (13.2/34.6 – DH had 13.0/31 in 18-49). Brothers & Sisters wins 18-39 (10.5/30.1) and 18-49 (10.9/30.3) demo for the 9:30pm slot.

    Its a bit embarrasing for Four to have its kids line up rate better than some of its primetime stuff although I will be honest they are great cartoons especially back when they were on TV2 about 11 years ago. Its also good to see Campbell Live rate a bit better, its a good alternative to the currently boring shortland street.
