Wednes-tie ratings

It seems FOX has find a good lineup for Wednesdays and very stable. Both Glee and So You Think You Can Dance (why can't they name the shows shorter, like Glee!) repeated ratings in A18-49. ABC's comedies on the other hand slipped from last week. I'm interested in seeing how Cougar Town performs because although I liked the first episode, I didn't enjoy too much the second and I'm afraid that the ratings will down as well as the quality of the show...
I'm curious how The CW will understand Melrose Place ratings. Would they understand them as 1.3 adding repetitions 0.5 plus original runs 0.8? Or maybe they'll see them as a bad 0.8 on the original runs and an even worse 0.5 on repetitions...We'll have to keep watching (the ratings....and the show).

Last Wednesday results, here.

Down, down, down...

All lineups down except for ABC with the boring DWTS and Castle. I read that in Minneapolis and Milwaukee, ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast was simulcast on the local ABC affiliate. That could be a reason why ABC's numbers were better this week than last week. We'll have to wait for the final numbers to check. I would also like to see ESPN's numbers to see if people turned to cable or they just turned off TVs yesterday. Awful result for NBC with Heroes and even worse for Trauma. With those numbers Leno couldn't do a thing (who would?). Anyway, maybe people just DVR'd Leno to watch it at 11pm as I read many peple was doing (funny that NBC moves Leno from 11pm to 10 pm only for people to record it and watch it later again).

Last Monday's results, here.

What's your favorite neighborhood?

Apparently people prefer Spooner Street against Wisteria Lane (or at least young people). Great numbers for the Family Guy season premiere. It was very competitive even against the football on NBC. In general FOX night was very good. Even Brothers repeat had better numbers than the premiere on Friday. That should give the networks a warning that maybe numbers on Friday are not as good not because of the shows but because people just don't watch TV on Fridays. Problems for ABC because Desperate Housewives premiere was the lowest ever (I'd like to wait for next Sunday to see if the numbers go even lower or they maintain). Good numbers also for the Cleveland show premiere. I heard bad comments for the show so let's see if next Sunday it's still as competitive as this last Sunday was.

We live in a Cougar Town

Competitive night the one we live yesterday. ABC and CBS tied in 18-49 ratings while FOX won 18-34 ratings. Great numbers for ABC comedies. They had, although less viewers, better ratings than DWTS. I'm glad to see that show are being this healthy this season (at least for now) because I thought numbers this year were going to be horrible. Glee keeps having a good result in he demos and it's confirmed as the first FOX hit of the season (maybe only one?). Can't wait to see tonight numbers. Flashforward promises to have very good numbers but, how will Grey's anatomy and CSI come back? Thursdays promise to give us much to talk about, as well and Wednesdays, an, oh! Tuesdays, or Mondays, etc...

Ratings are back with a Bang!

FOX won the night easily both in viewers and demos. FOX numbers were amazing and was the only show with Big Bang Theory to premiere higher. Best news for me are: Heroes and DWTS are down. In fact DWTS had its lowest premiere ever. I never liked DWTS and I'm still waiting to hear from the people that every year after American Idol's premiere say that it is dead because the ratings were down from last season. What about DWTS? Never mind. And Heroes, I know it still has a huge fan base but, I don't like it anymore. It's every year the same. I see cancellation. What's more important for FOX house numbers grew from 8pm to 9pm. We'll have to wait and see how the second episode performs next Monday but, it seems it's going to be another big season for House, but its biggest? Last week Jay Leno opened with more than 17 million viewers and yesterday it just had 5.67 million. That's why we should wait and see. Although I personally think House will go down, I don't think it will be that much.
BTW: Did I say TBBT had its biggest premiere ever?
