ABC - MOSES RULES ON SATURDAY

MOSES RULES ON SATURDAY

The 53-year-old movie The Ten Commandments took a commanding lead for ABC on Saturday as it led in every half hour in primetime and averaged 6.81 million viewers for the night. It has drawn far more viewers in the past, however, when it aired on Easter Sunday instead of the day before Easter. Indeed, it is rare for any network to win a regular-season night with fewer than seven million viewers. And -- not for the first time -- NBC's Saturday Night Live , which featured Zac Efron spoofing his High School Musical character, drew a bigger audience than any program that aired in primetime.
