"Housewives" towered over the night as usual with an average of 25.7 million viewers and a 10.9 rating/24 share in the adults 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary estimates from Nielsen Media Research. The eye network was better off at 8 p.m. with the drama "Cold Case" (15.8 million, 4.0/10). Fox's live coverage of Game 4 of the American League Divisional Series between the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and New York Yankees delivered a healthy 9.7 rating/15 share in Nielsen's overnight metered markets (reliable national estimates for Fox's live game coverage won't be available until today), which marked a 45% increase over the comparable National League Divisional Series game that ran on the same night last year.
