Damages may be the best show on TV, but you actually have to pay attention when you watch it. I think it’s pathetic that shows have to be “dumb” for them to do well.

So how is Disney XD doing compared to the old Toon Disney, ratings-wise?

“How does Disney Channel make $ without ads?”

The Disney Channel charges pretty hefty subscriber fees, reportedly 79 cents per subscriber in 2006 and probably more now. That’s high compared to most other cable outlets.

No, Elliott, it’s broadcast. If you’re looking for ratings from there, TVBTN posts Smackdown numbers on a fairly regular basis, but otherwise Sitcoms Online includes MyNet ratings in its final ratings posts, which appear 2-3 days after an airing.

The TNT orignals like The Closer or Saving Grace don’t rate as well in January-February as they do in the summer compared to USA who seem to maintain the same ratings for Monk, Psych and Burn Notice but I guess that USA have the splitting the season for a while whereas TNT only did it due to the writer’s strike.

It will be interesting how they schedule the new shows alongside the returning ones, I’m guessing either HawthoRNe and Dark Blue will debut at 10pm after Leverage and/or Raising the Bar or they will air at 9pm. Wedding Day will probably air at 8pm before The Closer.

Brent, fair enough. I think I make the mistake of assuming that we cover the news stuff in our daily cable news posts, but obviously that’s not true for the 5pm hour.

Holly, it’s hard to say since I don’t have a good handle on “the grid” as I do for broadcast as far as what airs when. It seems NCIS is down a little and Sponge Bob’s best episode was up a little, but I think the reason it’s balancing out is probably because with Burn Notice, Monk, Psych, etc. out of new episodes last week, Bob had less competition so he shows up more. That somewhat also explains Disney’s relative success for the week.

By: Holly

Holly — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 05:23:47 +0000

Did Spongebob’s ratings go up or did NCIS drop? A few weeks ago, NCIS was everywhere in the top 20 and Spongebob barely made a showing. Now they’re about equal

Hey what about Glenn Beck, his ratings are the only thing the other host on FNC are talking about. He had 3m on friday.

Hey, well, thanks for calling the Moonlight fans “mad dogs”…we’re just glad at this point the reruns on SciFi are pulling some viewers.

oh so real world didnt reach the 1,500,000 mark? thats pretty bad for a show like that. Its usually in the 2 million mark.

By: Kyle

speaking of cable shows… In Treatment is coming back to HBO despite its poor ratings. I was upset at first that this was renewed because it did so poorly and I remember The Comeback being canceled with even higher ratings.. I LOVED THE COMEBACK with Lisa Kudrow.
but in the last week or so I’ve actually watched half of the first season of In Treatment and it is pretty good… strong performances. But I think it was probably renewed because it must be a lot cheaper to produce. It’s basically just fimed in one room with conversation as the whole show.

By: Robert Seidman

Robert Seidman — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 01:17:36 +0000

Matt, it’s not easy to do fair comparisons with past ratings for Saving Grace. The mid-season finale (8/25/08) had a lot more viewers (4.27M) but it was on in the summer against little competition and it had the season finale of The Closer that had 7.2 million viewers as its lead in.

Overall, I don’t think the numbers are bad. It was TNT’s most-watched show of the week. Still, I’m guessing it is under-performing the expectations TNT had for it. But that is just a guess.

Now Robert, why do you have to be so mean to us Moonlight fans? We’re not a pack of mad dogs, LOL. Thanks for posting the ratings…

By: Matt

Matt — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 01:05:49 +0000

Geez, Damages is doing awful and it’s probably in the top 3 best shows out there right now! I’m glad it’s secured for a 3rd season already.

And for another great show, Saving Grace…. I’m not too familiar with cable ratings, but is it really doing bad? I know it’s already renewed for a 3rd season as well, but how much has viewership dropped in this split 2nd season?

And Trust Me– it’s an enjoyable show but unfortunately isn’t catching. Too bad really.. nice performances by McCormack and Cavanaugh

Fin, Ben 10: Alien Force has been in reruns for a while. New episodes start up next week as Cartoon Network is doing a “Ben 10 Week” where new episodes air Tuesday and Wednesday and the hour-long season finale on Friday.

Nice to see Clone Wars do well. This bodes well for the season finale this week.

I’m also curious as how the Clone Wars rerun on Adult Swim this past Saturday did. I hope its above That’s So Raven. =)

Raw should be up next week but great numbers. i think this time last year they were at like 4.9 million viewers so good job WWE! And ECW almost 2 million~

By: Nick

Nick — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:49:07 +0000

You’ve got to be kidding me. How in the world did Damages dip to 703,000? Why is nobody watching this show?

On the plus side, it looks like Important Things is doing well and it deserves it. Very unique and very funny.

By: Jon

Jon — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:30:13 +0000

Looks like TNT have given up on Trust Me as they showing double episodes. I guess they were a little overambitious with their Monday-Wednesdays all originals with Leverage being the only show to sustain decent ratings without The Closer lead in.

They have three new shows coming up with HawthoRNe (the previously titled Time Heals), Dark Blue (the previously titled The Line) and Wedding Day.

Christy, the city finale was LAST night. If MTV sends out a press release I will post them, otherwise I won’t probably see anything until next Tuesday. The Monday episodes listed in the above chart are for 3/9, not 3/16.

By: Robert Seidman

Robert Seidman — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:19:04 +0000

sam, more or less. The last new episode of South Park on 11/19/08 averaged 3.286 million.

Life With Derek, a Canadian import, now airs at 11 Central. As for Sonny with a Chance, I wonder if it would be able to sustain viewers without Montana and Wizards bookending it.

By: Robert Seidman

Robert Seidman — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 19:45:43 +0000

Julia, LOL you never read the posts. Fortunately Moonlight fans don’t have the short attention span issues (not that they were watching Kings in bulk either, but still).

By: Julia

Julia — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 19:43:39 +0000

Wow, big jump for Demetri Martin.

And, Robert, you didn’t post the Moonlight numbers??? You’re going to have to close the comments soon, I bet.

As usual “iCarly” poses a strong showing, enough to enter the top 20 even when it’s a rerun.

A new episode airs this weekend, so I expect another top 5 next week with stronger ratings than all the Disney shows? Y/Y?

They’re currently filming the 28th episode of this seaosn, with only 14 episodes in, this will definitely be a good year for “iCarly.”

On another note, FINALLY “Hannah Montana” finds stability. Looks like airing new episodes at 7:30 PM on Sunday nights is working out for the show. It’s funny to see how many viewers tune out when “Sonny With A Chance” comes on, but return when Wizards is on.

Ooh, I’m pleasantly surprised by Demetri Martin beating Daily Show. Hopefully his building fanbase helps Ang Lee’s film coming out later this year; based on nothing besides the fact that I think Ang Lee is awesome, I’m hoping Taking Woodstock sweeps the Oscars and finally allows a gay-themed film to win the big prize, rather than, say, a mediocre, backwards, bang you over the head, exploitative, disingenuous, dumb, falsely emotional, clichéd, racial stereotyping shlock with bad dialogue and acting. Aka Crash and Slumdog both.

You mean you’d like to see MTV air programs that outdraw That’s So Raven! Unfortunately, The Real World is not one of them.

Even a non in slot repeat of iCarly can crack the top 20/
I watched iCarly for the first time this week because of this site. It was nice but the girl who plays Carly screams too much and too loud.

For a show that has been cancelled for I believe about 2 and a half years now, That’s So Raven is doing mind-bogglingly well.

Disney Channel just had a really good week in general.

Ben 10: Alien Force must have been a rerun because apparently its Cartoon Networks gem show (apart from the Star Wars one) but if Batman beats it then surely theres a proberly happening.
