The story of a man who is on a fast track to sainthood was no match for the sinners of Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy on Sunday. The first half of CBS' Pope John Paul II miniseries fizzled on Sunday, drawing only about 8.3 million viewers from 9:30-11:30, according to preliminary estimates from Nielsen Media Research. CBS' lineup was thrown off its regular start times by a roughly half-hour football overrun at the start of primetime, but preliminary estimates indicate a weak turnout that barely registered on the adults 18-49 demo radar. CBS' numbers were only slightly better than the unimpressive showing ABC had on Thursday with its papal biopic Have No Fear: The Life of Pope John Paul II.
