Any news about ratings for the week ending 01/18/2009?

Kyle XY on the ABC Family channel is a fairly decent family show. I never see any numbers for this show. Could you give us some numbers for it and an idea of if it is likely to continue? Thanks for your help.

By: Bill Gorman

Stephany, if you’re referring to Thursday 1/15, we won’t see those numbers until 1/20 (or possibly 1/21 because of the holiday today). All the episodes of ABDC from the week ending January 11 were on Sunday 1/11.

Hi Robert.
I usually comment on how awesome SpongeBob is doing but can I ask you how America’s Best Dance Crew (MTV) did on it’s Thursday night season premiere?

Thanks.

Jim, we see no information for Fox Business yet, and I’m guessing that’s still a ways off. Because of viewership thresholds, I think it will be a while before Nielsen (or FOX) regularly report/distribute the info. Sorry.

How about ratings for Fox Business Morning, and all of Fox Business in general?

I know they are regular in ratings, but can I find the times they are rated?

Re: “Leverage,” responding to Holly — TNT has so far ordered only additional *scripts,* not episodes.

sam, KOTH airs like 30+ times a week, but for the week ending 1/11 the most-watched airing averaged 1.603m

Geopardize, since The Beast only just premiered last night, they will be covered in next week’s post.

By: Holly

According to Marc Berman, TNT ordered 6 more episodes of Leverage.

Only a few more days until Burn Notice comes back!!! I’m totally hooked on that show now. I hope to see it ranked here .

Hi Robert,

Can you please provide the ratings of The Beast premiere on A&E?

Thanks,

NYC, Given the numbers for downloads and onine viewing for other shows (which were very low even for hugely popular shows), I seriously doubt it had much of an impact for Kyle XY.

By: NYC

NYC — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 20:14:15 +0000

Do you think you can track Kyle XY, please? ABC Family aired the premiere on Monday 1/12 and encored the episode on 1/14 at midnight.

Fancast offered a week of online early viewing for the episode, but they never reported the number of views. I think it impacted the premiere broadcast numbers.

Nip/Tuck needs to be canceled. The show is completely crap now. It’s almost painful to watch. We get one more season of it after these 8 episodes that way FX can get it into syndication but by next season will anyone actually care anymore?

As for Damages. I hear the show is great and all but those ratings don’t justify renewing the show for 2 seasons.

Apropos Robot Chicken and Adult Swim, I can’t believe what they run now after the Chicken gets the the ratings Aqua Teen and Morel Orel got. That stupid Superjail is nothing but stylized butchery, and Squidbillies is low-brow butchery. Boo to Cartoon Net for destroying their lineup. Put the one about going to the mayor and the Awesome Show – I know about who has their hand in those -on after the Chicken or just add the Critic to go with the sucky King of the Hill and forget about being funny. Just fill dead air time.

Holly, my understanding is that Live+SD measures viewing until 3am following the broadcast date. So 1am shows would have until 3am the following day to be viewed. Obviously, that’s not an issue for broadcast primetime, only for cable and late night broadcast shows.

By: Holly

Holly — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 16:08:24 +0000

Robert and Bill, Allen’s statement brings up a question for me… I know Same Day DVR viewing goes until 3 am but when does it start? If someone records a show at 1am, do they have until 3am the next morning (26 hours) to watch it to be included with Same Day DVR? Or does the Nielsen “day” goes from 3am to 3am so they would have to watch it in the next two hours?

By: Allen Charles

Allen Charles — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 15:48:50 +0000

Maybe DVRs are watching these odd times to run up the viewer numbers. I know I schedule programs that have repeats to record off prime time to free up my tuners to get shows only available in primetime. I have 8 DVRs yet still have to be smart scheduling my programs.

I can relate to you with PTI and Around the Horn, they are two of my favorite shows, even though I have been avoiding them the last few days after the Giants collapsed on Sunday against the Eagles. Would love to the ratings for that game!

Dang, that IS impressive! Raven is my fav Disney show, so that’s cool to see how well its reruns are doing at such an odd time.

By: Robert Seidman

Robert Seidman — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 22:00:13 +0000

Rachel, your eyes don’t deceive you. That’s the very reason I posted it.it’s not lost on me that 100 SpongeBobs will best the season premiere of Damages or the series finale of Stargate Atlantis, but It’s So Raven at midnight on a Saturday? Wow.

By: Rachel P

Rachel P — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 21:51:25 +0000

Whoooa… am I reading this wrong, or just plain stupid, but did you say that That’s So Raven gets 2 million viewers at the 12 am slot on Saturday? o_O And Family Matters gets nearly the same… I didn’t think reruns at midnight could really get THAT many viewers…

I could only find 18-49 demos for the latest episode of Leverage (from TravisYanan via pifeedback.com)

Jan 6– 0.9/2

The premeier of Nip/Tuck got a 1.8

ravenu. i wish i did, but i don’t.

By: ravenu

ravenu — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 21:06:54 +0000

Do you know what the demo breakdown is for Leverage? With it’s season half over now and rating hovering around the 3 mil for Live + SD. I was wondering if it seems to be enought to convince TNT to greenlight a Season 2 of the series or is it still to soon to call it?

jack — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 21:03:58 +0000

That is what I was looking for. Thanks Robert.

By: Robert Seidman

Robert Seidman — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 20:52:57 +0000

jack, it is kind of a pain to change the data table, but I updated the text of the post w/the following:

Update: my bad for not including The Real World season XXI! The Brooklyn installment bowed to 2.261 million on Wednesday at 10pm. The Real World “After Show” at 11pm drew 1.71 million making for the two most-watched programs on MTV all week. The Hills offshoot, The City was #3 for MTV for the week with a mere 1.298 million.

By: jack

jack — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 20:36:46 +0000

What about real world brooklyn? MTV seems very happy with the numbers, yet they didn’t break the top 20.

By: GRD

GRD — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 20:12:14 +0000

Hurray for “Monk”! There’s life in the old show yet. (I know it’s ending this summer, but I’d like to see it go out on a high note.) Nice to see the good numbers for “Psych,” too.

Nip/Tuck got 3.1 and still is cancelled meanwhile damages got 1.7 on primetime. Well done FX

Any numbers for ECW?

Robert Seidman — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:56:11 +0000

james, like NCIS, Bones airs several times, so I probably won’t get into the practice of including it. Last week its most-viewed airing was Tuesday at 11p which averaged 1.792 million.

By: james

james — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:47:03 +0000

Could you include the Bones episodes airing on TNT next week? I am very interested to see how Bones is doing.
