ABC's new comedy Jake in Progress got off to a fair-to-middling start Sunday in the time slot usually reserved for Desperate Housewives. NBC had little traction with the time-period debut of The Contender, and Fox didn't do much business with the premiere of Kelsey Grammer's The Sketch Show. The big mover of the night was NBC's Law & Order: Criminal Intent, which saw its viewership perk up significantly as it consistently has this season whenever Desperate Housewives is out of its way. ABC had no trouble winning the night on the strength of its 7-9 p.m. block of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which brought in an average of 14.3 million viewers and a 5.8 rating/15 share in the adults 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary estimates from Nielsen Media Research.
