I don’t believe Fringe was broadcast that week. At least it wasn’t on my list.

errol… thanks. my bad. never checked this season because i did last year (early 2007) and it definitely was not there. they had the top shows only and a different video player and wasn’t hd streaming. nice to see it is though.

some of my friends complain about too many commercials compared to other sites. how does abc compare to the other sites? has anyone ever done a review of them?

It wins the prize, Frank.

But really, nothing since evidence suggests that commercial viewing doesn’t increase by very much during DVR viewing.

40% of Heroes viewers are time-shifted? Um…this may be a dumb question, but what happens if a show clears 50%?

NBC reaches it’s lowest point…

if you pay atention to the list of the new shows to mid-season, they are so bad… the stories are just new intrepertations of old stories: merlim (from bbc), kings (remembers me jericho)and the listener (a few shows and movies), knight rider (other show from the past), crusoe…

the only shpwsthat brings something new are The Philanthropist, My Own Worst Enemy and kath and kim (a remake from a australian sitcom). very little…

however this is a mirror of this season, the worst season in the past 4 years.

So the numbers in the ”Persons Live+7 (000s)” column is the TOTAL numbers of viewers each show gets, with DVR included?
Sorry, Im bad at these.

Tom, Boston Legal is on ABC.com for Full Episode viewing just like most (if not all) of ABC’s primetime series. In fact, since the feature started Boston Legal has been on the ABC.com website. Not sure where you got your information from.

Is it just me, or have DVR viewings of Sarah Connor Chronicles been increasing by app. 100K viewers week over week?

By: tom

tom — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 21:31:14 +0000

i know boston legal skews very old but it warranted a least a full final season. 10 million after dvr is nice to see.

btw: legal is the only show that i can think of that’s not available online. since fox produces it abc has never screened it on their website and fox’s hulu won’t show it because it’s an abc show (but they do show the practice). sort of a streaming catch 22.

You’re right. I forgot about that it did not air that week. Thanks!

A Privileged rerun ran in its spot that week…

By: Bill Gorman

Bec, One Tree Hill was not on my list of shows for that week, Oct 6-12. Might it not have been broadcast that week?

By: Bill Gorman

Bill Gorman — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 21:21:11 +0000

41 shows had DVR viewership of 1 million or more viewers.

53 shows increased their Live viewership by 10% or more over the Live+7 period.

By: Bec

Bec — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 21:20:40 +0000

This is the first week I can recall not seeing One Tree Hill in the top 20 for % increase. Do you have their DVR numbers?

By: Robert Seidman

Robert Seidman — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 21:13:45 +0000

Bill, just curious, how many shows were there that had a million or more DVR viewers but didn’t make the top 20?

By: Bill Gorman

Bill Gorman — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 21:11:00 +0000

Here are the Boston Legal DVR viewing numbers for the week from the post above:

BOSTON LEGAL ABC 9,873 8,387 1,486 17.7%

christy… these numbers are for wee three i think of the season which was the first csi this year.

By: Julia

Julia — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 20:56:28 +0000

Christy, first of all, this is from the week of CSI’s premiere episode. Second, the numbers you are comparing it to are Live + Same Day, rather than just live.

I don’t understand the ratings for CSI and Grey’s Anatomy

CSI Persons live is 21,852 ???? And Grey’s only 13.159 ??

But the ratings last thursday were near 15 million for Grey’s and about 18 millions for CSI…

I’m a little confused :-/

tom — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 20:48:36 +0000

any info on how boston legal did? i know it’s dead show walking and all… just curious.
