Desperate Housewives ratings remained steady in the second week of sweeps.

According to figures released by The Futon Critic, "I Must Be Dreaming" scored a 16.1 rating with a 24 share. These figures mean that of all households in the United States with television sets, 16.1% were tuned into DH, as well as 24% of those households actually watching television on Sunday at 9:00pm. The show pulled a 11.1 rating in the coveted 18–49 demographic.

MediaWeek, Get Desperate's usual source of ratings figures, did not publish Sunday ratings this week. So not all details are available for comparison:

Lead-out Grey's Anatomy was consistent as ever with a 13.1/21 rating, and 9.1 in the 18–49 demographic. Desperate Housewives was up CBS's Category 7: The End of the World, which received a 8.7/13 rating, a Fox combination of Family Guy and American Dad and a WB rerun of Supernatural.

ABC won the night, with its 11.2/17 beating CBS's 9.5/14, and its 7.5 18–49 score beating Fox's 5.0.
