5.8 million watched Globes

The early writeups on last night's ratings point to the abysmally low viewership for NBC's hour-long program announcing the winners, although the real story might be the fact that 5.8 million people actually had it on. Who on earth would admit to watching? The ratings experts say that most anything that gets aired by one of the networks - even a test pattern - is guaranteed at least some eyeballs. Besides, they did show a few commercials that were entertaining. By contrast, Fox scored big with its debut of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" (18.3 million viewers).
