The overnight ratings for Season 3 Episode 5 of Who Do You Think You Are? with jerome Bettis have been posted over at Zap 2 It – TV by the numbers.

The total viewers for the episode were 5.05 million, with a 1.0 Rating and a 3 Share for the key 18-49 demographic. The episode ranked 3rd in its time slot and 6th for the overall evening ranking.

This represents a 33% decrease in the number of viewers over last week’s Reba McEntire episode and a 50% decrease in the overall rating among the 18-49 demographic.

The upcoming episode of Who Do You Think You Are? on Friday, March 16, 2012, will be a repeat of the premiere episode with Martin Sheen (makes sense since it is St. Patrick’s Day weekend and the episode focuses on Irish family history).  A new episode featuring Helen Hunt will be broadcast on Friday, March 23, 2012.
