Besides,they’ll do ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING to keep from turning Sunday night back over to the affilates!

And we are talking 2 year old reruns. And you are covering it and writing about Jericho!

Thanks Robert

There is no chance, none of 3 million viewers and solid demo numbers for reruns on the CW Sunday nights. If it happened it would certainly be interesting to talk about. But if a million dollars fell out of the sky and rained down on you, that too would be interesting. Neither is happening, so I don’t understand thinking about it. Obsessing over it is as crazy as obsessing over a million dollars falling out of the sky.

Spaceballs did OK, but not as good as Cutting Edge (with Jericho’s own D.B. Sweeney).

Already answered your “ratings will tell me what?” question before I even saw it

And yes, I do understand that ratings of a couple million won’t be cause for the CW to pick up new episodes. We’d need to see a solid 3 million viewers, and 18-49 demos that at least crack the 1.0 mark, IMHO, to even consider movie or spinoff options. Jericho fans are just everyday people, building great friendships while sharing a passion for a wonderful scripted drama. So what if we dream big once in a while ?

What is the next few weeks going to tell you? Even if it’s back up over a million. Even if it’s 1.5 million (which doesn’t seem likely honestly), what’s it going to tell you?

Back on-topic. I do think some major market pre-emptions combined with a big football night on all networks cut into Jericho’s numbers on this particular week. It was a rebroadcast of a canceled (sadly) show, up against major football and holiday fare. And it still did better than Valentine! Let’s see what happens over the next few weeks.

Funny second half hour was 1.09M and trending near last weeks episode. Better than CW last year and 3 weeks ago to I might ad!

Football rules Sundays.

The New York metropolitan area’s population is also the nation’s highest, estimated at 19,750,000 people over 6,720 square miles (17,400 km2) in three states.[7]

The NYC metro area is not 20 million, not according to Nielsen, the US Government or New York or New Jersey. Nielsen pegs it at 7.4 million for the current season

The New York metropolitan area alone accounts for over 20 million people.

Since Jericho was pre-empted in a couple of markets, the numbers here are actually higher than the final numbers.

Those are two HUGE markets that are missing from the Jericho numbers.

And Clutz I believe you are correct we have located the troll Soylent from the CBS board.

How many millions of posts will it take for you to realize that dillusional is not a word? In any case, it’s nice to know you still lurk on UHD and other Jericho boards. It’s fun to see how obsessed you are with pointing out your own delusions regarding Jericho’s fandom. It’s a fandom just like any other fandom. The fandom is hard-core, cultish (as in “cult hit,” “cult classic,” etc…), and a whole lot of fun! Too bad you simply cannot understand the notion that some of us did not interpret JS2 the same negative way that you did. To do so, you must understand that yours is an OPINION, not a FACT .

Jericho fandom these days is very cult-like and creepy. Almost Heavens Gate-ish.

From your link: “Of the 210 Designated Market Areas, the 56 markets listed below are measured by meter technology. Depending on the size of the market the technology used is either Local People Meter (LPM) or a combination of set meters and paper diaries.”

Combined with the Post-Gazette info stating that People Meters will come around next year, I interpreted the Pittsburgh situation as set meters and paper diaries until 2009, due to smaller market size? We’re not a huge city, and I’m OK with that .

Jeremiah, this is my day job! And you’re being sensitive over your identification with a television show? Get a life.

As for doing better than CW Sundays a month ago, talk about leaping over the lowest hurdle ever set for broadcast television. Bravo!

Jericho’s in that timeslot as likely the cheapest airtime that the CW could juggle up from CBS and Warner Brothers to cover themselves for the rest of the season, nothing more. Nothing is expected of it, and it’s delivering!

CW Sunday nights doing far better than a month ago

Funny UHD Management cited ratings and fan demand when it extended Jericho’s schedule two more months.

On topic, I shutter to think what NBC would be without the NFL. Yet, at the same time, NBC loses millions. With the BCS recently going to cable, I don’t know how long the NFL can stay on broadcast, regardless of it’s draw.

Quote: “It might be of interest to your readers (and you!) that Nielsen plans to bring this same People Meter technology to Pittsburgh next year. When People Meters are implemented, you will have demographics every day rather than waiting for the “sweeps” and that could begin to change the way that local TV stations plan their news and other programs. Just as the networks now have national audience demographics every day, so will your local stations.”"

I don’t believe that repeats on the CW at 1-1.25 million viewers and 0.3-0.4 ratings in the 18-49 demo will be sufficient to bring the show back.

But Joe Cool – “average was under one million” – never a single solitary FACT to prove yourself on that one. On the CW, the average is still hovering just above 1.1 million. Local affiliates that pre-empted Jericho last night did so for very obvious reasons – Stillers and longstanding tradition Billy Graham. They didn’t just “dump it for local syndicated programs.” Stick to the freaking facts, genius.

As for reruns of WAT – that show, despite skewing older, is doing very well in the timeslot that (to quote Matt Roush) “has killed every show since Judging Amy.” Kudos to CBS and WAT for finally getting something that works in that timeslot. Perhaps older, well-established shows have got the edge there. Nothing new seems to stick Tuesdays at 10 on CBS.

Lastly – the NY affiliates, to my knowledge, did not carry football. They carried Billy Graham. In Pittsburgh, the CW may have been inflated by NFL postgame numbers – but we don’t have local people meters here anyway. And we don’ know about Graham’s effect in New York. Hey, that’s a Jericho quote – “we don’t know anything about New York!”

I think it’s fitting that “The Cutting Edge” pulled more viewers on the CW Movie than did Spaceballs. Holiday type fare, with figure skating and all.

Psyche!

Hey, if the “Jericho 4ever” universe can be insane as hell, I should at least be able to get away with a 6th grade level of maturity.

P.S. Reruns of Without a Trace are doing better on Tuesdays at 10pm than Jericho.

This explanation is meant more for those reading this who are not existing in the “Jericho 4ever” alternate universe.

Its sad to see what the Raiders have become especially Al. Back in the 60s and 70s this was one of the dominate franchises and the kids growing up in this decade have to watch a bad team just like the Lions, but I do see these two franchises dominating or improving in the next decade.
