This spilled around to Season 9 where it experienced dismaying rankings of only an normal of 9.1 million viewers per episode, a drop from 13 million just 2 seasons ago in Season seven. The timeslot modifying for Season 9 was also attributed to the fall in rankings. Munster and Doganieri credit this new timeslot to help strengthen scores, as it is a lot more amenable for household viewing than earlier timeslots.
