The task of compensating for ex-wife Joy&#8217;s (Jaime Pressly) earth-hurtin&#8217; ways proves overwhelming and the cute moral of the episode is to think smaller.</p> <p>Meanwhile, a herbal remedy lapped up by Randy (Ethan Suplee) has him seeing everything in claymation ( <em>Celebrity Deathmatch-style</em>). The difference between live-action and cartoon Joy is barely discernible.

But looking at both halves of this demo, you can see just how young &#8220;The Office&#8221; skews.</p> <p>While &#8220;The Office&#8221; is performing a whole ratings point better than &#8220;Earl&#8221; among the 18-34 crowd (4.6 vs. 3.6), and outdelivers &#8220;Earl&#8221; in teens (2.0 vs. 1.7), it underperforms &#8220;Earl&#8221; in 35-49 (3.7 vs. 4.5).</p> <p>&#8220;The Office,&#8221; like &#8220;Earl,&#8221; is also a strong performer among men, averaging a 14 share in men 18-49 last week and an 11 share in women 18-49. This testosterone tilt has come in handy on the night, as ABC&#8217;s competing comedy hit &#8220;Ugly Betty&#8221; is a big draw among femmes.</p> <p>NBC&#8217;s biggest comedies in recent years &#8212; &#8220;Friends&#8221; and &#8220;Will &#038; Grace&#8221; &#8212; relied on heavy female viewership, but it just may be that for the net&#8217;s next big half-hour, it will be the men leading the way. </p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117957502.html?categoryid=14&#038;cs=1">source</a></p> <p>Post from: <a href="http://www.mynameisearlclub.com">My Name is Earl Club</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.mynameisearlclub.com/2007/01/strongest-shows-on-nbc-the-office-and-my-name-is-earl/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>My Name is Earl beats out Ugly Betty in this week&#8217;s ratings!</title> <link>http://www.mynameisearlclub.com/2007/01/my-name-is-earl-beats-out-ugly-betty-in-this-weeks-ratings/</link> <comments>http://www.mynameisearlclub.com/2007/01/my-name-is-earl-beats-out-ugly-betty-in-this-weeks-ratings/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 07 Jan 2007 01:43:35 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://mynameisearlclub.com/2007/01/06/my-name-is-earl-beats-out-ugly-betty-in-this-weeks-ratings/</guid> <description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not totally sure, but I think this might be a first: ABC&#8217;s breakout hit of the season &#8220;Ugly Betty&#8221; dipped to 11,6 million viewers, while NBC&#8217;s critically-acclaimed comedies &#8220;My Name Is Earl&#8221; and &#8220;The Office&#8221; won the 8pm hour in the 18-49 demo.
