MediaBuyerPlanner: ABC's Desperate Housewives, along with a strong performance from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, helped propel the network to a Sunday night win in the 18-49 demo in Nielsen overnight ratings.

Desperate Housewives pulled an 8.5 rating/19 share, while Makeover generated a 5.7/15, writes Broadcasting & Cable. NBC was second thanks to NFL. The network rated a 4.9/13 for the night with its coverage of the Seahawks versus the Bears.

The game drew a bigger audience opposite Housewives from 9-10 p.m. than it did against ABC's Brothers & Sisters. However, the article points out, that was likely because the game was a blowout by the time Brothers & Sisters aired at 10 p.m.

The article contains ratings for CBS, Fox and the CW's Sunday night shows, as well.
