-There is some discrepancy on the viewership figure for the "Brotherhood" premiere. Some sources report 454,000, some report 694,000, and some report 494,000. The 494K figure didn't appear until October 2007 so I don't believe that is correct (or it may be Live+3), and the 694K figure has only appeared twice, so I am inclined to believe that 454,000 is correct.

• Falcon Beach (ABC Family)

• Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (Bravo)
