Locusts, the second of CBS’ campy killer animal flicks, drew decent ratings for the Eye network, although whether they were high enough to inspire the productions of further fare is an open question.
Locusts came in at number 17 for the week, drawing less than half the number of viewers (12.7 against 27 millions) of the week’s top-rated show, CBS’ CSI. It also fared poorly against the hit Sunday program Desperate Housewives, the #3 show of the week, which garnered nearly 24 million viewers. Helping ABC handily win the evening was the 17 million plus viewers drawn by the number 10 program, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
