'Judging' Wins on Appeal


Washington Post - September 22, 1999

While conservative watchdog groups ranted about last week's debut of "Action" on Fox and the moral decay of America, far more viewers watched the premiere of wholesome "Judging Amy" on week-winning CBS. What's wrong with this picture?

WINNERS

"Judging Amy." Sunday's sneak peek at CBS's new touchy-feely chick drama was the week's second most watched show, behind only ABC's Monday football. "Amy" bagged 19.6 million viewers in the "Touched by an Angel" time slot. That's equal to the season debut of "Touched" in the same slot last September--when that show had already achieved hit status. "Amy's" big draw was among loyal "Touched" fans--age 55 and older.
