What Were The Ratings for the Episodes?


Hey all

Of all the episodes that aired in the USA, does anyone have the ratings for all the episodes - how many viewers actually watched it.

Thanks

I saw that it was in the 10-12 million range at one point in the fall of 2005. Someone had posted monday night ratings somewhere here on IMDB (sorry, can't recall where I saw this) but I really do remember seeing an 11.5 for Out of Practice sometime that fall.
I heard that the ratings dipped quite a bit by January 2006, which then led to the day change (was mon night at 9:30 et, then was moved to Wed Night in March 2006) and then it got even lower ratings. I'm curious for the ratings as well.

For the season, it averaged 11.6 million viewers and was #32 in the list of all shows -- which is a higher average than long running shows like How I Met Your Mother (!), The Simpsons, My Name Is Earl, Will & Grace, Boston Legal, Alias, Scrubs, The Amazing Race, Wife Swap, Prison Break, etc, etc, etc... guess Les Moonves really is an idiot. The Futon Critic lists ratings daily, but I just discovered they don't archive them (which is weird, since everything else on the site is archived).

Could one reason for cancellation been the used-too-much "rising production costs" due to the people behind it and some of the cast? I've heard this before and it seems like a show needs a certain number of viewers in order to survive. Sad that a gem like this would have to lose out, while the less funny "2.5 men" and "new adventures of old christine" keep going without question.
