NBCâs remake of âAmerican Gladiatorsâ muscled to a strong start on Sunday. The amateur athletic tournament, based on the early 1990s series, delivered the highest ratings among adults 18 to 49 of any new show this season on any network, matching the debut of âHeroesâ in September 2006, Nielsen estimated. In total viewers, however, âAmerican Gladiatorsâ was less impressive, drawing an average of 12 million from 9 to 11 p.m. ABCâs âCashmere Mafia,â by comparison, which made its debut on Sunday at 10 p.m., attracted 10.7 million viewers but markedly lower ratings in the 18-to-49 set. âCashmere Mafiaâ also benefited from a plum time slot following ABCâs âDesperate Housewivesâ (19.8 million), the only show to outpace âAmerican Gladiatorsâ on the night among adults 18 to 49. ABC, NBC and CBS finished in a virtual tie for first in that demographic over all on Sunday. CBS, buoyed by an overrun of its afternoon football coverage during the 7 p.m. hour that was followed by one of the highest rated editions of â60 Minutesâ in recent years (19 million), won the race in total viewers.
