WHO WANTS TO MARRY A RATINGS MONSTER: Tuesday night's Fox freak show, Who Wants To Marry A Multi-Millionaire, was a big ratings winner. The two-hour spectacle -- in which single women battle for the chance to marry an unnamed millionaire -- averaged a 10.9/16 ratings/share, placing it second only to the 12.9/19 posted by uber gamer Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
The Marry rating is almost double the numbers Fox scored the week before with World's Sexiest Commercials. Trailing behind both Millionaires was CBS's rookie hit Judging Amy, with NBC's double dose of Will & Grace finishing a distant forth.
The wacky wedding gamer also won big for CITY-TV in Toronto, running second to CTV's Millionaire the first hour and beating all comers, including West Wing, at 9 p.m.
For those who may have missed it, Fox and CITY-TV plan to re-broadcast a one-hour highlight version of Who Wants To Marry A Multi-Millionaire this coming Tuesday, Feb. 22 at 8 p.m. A Fox spokesperson says discussions are underway to produce a second multi-millionaire wedding, to air during the -- surprise -- May sweeps.
