And Yet America Watched....
From "Media Life" Magazine:
"NBC nabbed the first interview with Nadya Suleman, the mother who recently gave birth to octuplets, and the network scored strong ratings for the special.
"A 10 p.m. “Dateline NBC” averaged a 4.0 adults 18-49 rating (Tuesday)night, according to Nielsen overnights, winning its timeslot and lifting NBC to a tie for second on the evening.
“Dateline” was up 8 percent from last week, when “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” averaged a 3.7 rating in the timeslot, and it matched the highest-rated show for any network in the 10 p.m. slot since ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” finale in November.
"Suleman spoke with “Today’s” Ann Curry, and parts of the interview also aired on the morning show. She discussed her reasoning for adding more kids to her brood of six and how she plans to support her 14 total kids."
