Hi Folks, I'm just now getting the data, and it will take me a bit to get it up on the site, but I know a few of you were just dying (ok, I exaggerate...a little) to know how NBC did and how Two and a Half Men held up!
NBC averaged 29.951 million viewers for the primetime portion of the coverage with a 17.8/28 (household rating share) and a 10.3/27 in the 18-49 demographic, dominating everything, of course.
Those who bet the over 8 million in the 2.5 Men over/under win! Barely, but still. It did 8.119 and a 2.4/6 in the 18-49 demo, impressive given the competition especially for 18-49 eyeballs. I'll have the full overnight post up as soon as I can.
Update: Full numbers now available.
How did TERMINATOR do, night two???
I want this show to get amazing numbers!
So Stoked for Season 2!!!
I am very surprised at Two and A Half Men's ratings. I had the under all the way. I thought if it could get 6 million, it would have done well.

TSCC, not so good, but no surprises really. TVa, I'm with you, I figured ~7 million and near a 2.0. The results for 2.5 are extremely impressive to me. There's loyal, core audiences and then there are loyal core audiences! But much of it's 18-49 audience is over 34 because for that half hour 2.5 men lost to Fuego en la Sangre in the 18-34 demo (2.2/6 for Fuego vs. 1.4/4 for 2.5 — a pretty healthy beatdown).
