I’m a Kyle XY fan, wrote letters, did what I could do to stop Kyle Xy from being canceled .I’m 53 and my whole family enjoyed watching kyle.I’m so angry at abc family. I will not watch any show or movie that’s on that network! their are many other channels to watch with better quality series to enjoy.What about Roommates? The so called show in place of kyles slot, do they even have a ratings? I’ll miss this show Kyle XY,and Ive seen a lot of series go over the years,but Ive never missed a show so much as, this Kyle Xy

TNA just signed Bobby Lashley and possbily Tazz, so that might help them. RAW has been the best thing on TV since 1993 and I haven’t missed a single one. BTW, where is Smackdown on this list? It has to be pulling in more numbers than Olbermann.

Susan, there is no web site like that. That’s in the realm of, you need to sign up to be a Nielsen customer (and unless you work at The Travel Channel which may already have an account, you won’t want to do that). As for how TTC fares relative to other cable networks in the aggregate and in prime-time you can check that out here:

Does anyone know of:
1) a website that displays show ratings for all the shows on Travel Channel? I would like to know what the heck most couch potatoes are watching on TC. And,
2) how does TC rate overall next to other cable channels? It’s gotta be near the bottom.

Perfectly clear. I’m sorry since I was just wondering, since you guys know more than I in these Nielsen ratings jumbo. If I ever do start my own fan site, I would like to know how to get these ratings and such and which ones cost money.

Alex, is that based on the 30 second promo, or something else?

On a random note I for one think Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches looks like a fantastically informative travel show…

By: Robert Seidman

Robert Seidman — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 20:26:11 +0000

the top 20 list doesn’t cost any money. but FOP wasn’t in the top 20. More and more, I think I will simply go back to posting ONLY the top 20 and then maybe quarterly post some data for other shows. People’s expectations about what they are entitled to and deserve are very annoying on a free web site (where apparently a great deal of our readers BLOCKS the ads!)

By: Jose

Jose — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 20:21:20 +0000

Okeydokey. But another question do the Top 20 lists cost money? Like does the list have the best viewing for those shows?

By: Robert Seidman

Robert Seidman — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 16:22:11 +0000

Jose, in total viewers it did not do better than Back at the Barnyard. We don’t get the K6-11 demo ratings, so we can’t sort them that way (and it would probably hurt NCIS and RAW’s numbers a lot!)

By: Jose

Jose — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 16:17:49 +0000

I’m pretty sure Fairly OddParents did better than Back at the Barnyard, and Mighty B! according to this
Final K6-11 Ratings for Saturday, April, 11, 2009 Cable Networks only (Live + SD Data):
Source: Disney Research from Nielsen Media Research Data
NICKELODEON 4.1/24 Avg. (7a-1p)
Jimmy Neutron 1.5/19; Jimmy Neutron 2.5/21; Fairly OddParents 3.5/22; Fairly OddParents 4.6/26; SpongeBob SquarePants 5.8/28; SpongeBob SquarePants 5.5/27; Penguins of Madagascar 5.7/28; Back at the Barnyard 4.1/20; Mighty B! 4.0/21; SpongeBob SquarePants 3.8/21; SpongeBob SquarePants 4.0/23; SpongeBob SquarePants 3.9/23
why isn’t it on the list? If you can Could you tell me the total viewers that day?

correction: the show name is actually: Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches

Is there really a show called Bridget’s Sexy Travels?

By: Bianca33

Bianca33 — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 19:26:02 +0000

Yes, I do understand! I did not mean to stir up bad feelings. Thank you anyhow!

By: Robert Seidman

Robert Seidman — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 16:40:41 +0000

Bianca, perhaps fans of those shows understand “Sorry, no requests” while Moonlight fans feel entitled to make such requests even though I have specifically asked people NOT to do so. You have to understand that such a sense of entitlement will irk some people, whether you feel entitled to it or not. But unfortunately this is NOT a Moonlight fan site and if I honor your request people will say “What about Bridget’s Sexy Travels” and how about “George Lopez” and where is “The Cougar” and on and on and on. So, no.

By: Bianca33

Bianca33 — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 16:34:07 +0000

Moonlight fans are way good! The show lives in our memories, re-runs and on the DVD and trust me, we still watch it and support our actors in other projects. Still, the numbers were posted for the previous 8 episodes and we simply are fans that want a little information. I am sorry that it offends anyone. I also understand that there are thousands of other shows not rated here, but those other shows are not asking, we are.

Thanks for giving us more numbers then just the top 20. After all it gets old looking at the same shows in the majority of places. No offense but looking at 9 NCIS ratings is rather pointless.

Yeah WWE will stay in the high 3s until May and then they will probably slip to 3.3-3.5 range for the rest of the year. but so far they are having a good year

And TNA is doing good, i think if they get a big star from WWE and a little more adverstising and promoting, they could be around a 2.0 by years end. With out a new big star i see tehm at around a 1.5 or 1.6 by years end

The draft episodes (three of them) will appear on next week’s list for WE 4/19. Reports are it did about 3.2 for the first hour and 4.0 for the other two. It will be interesting to see how long they can maintain the high 3′s once the initial post-draft interest has died down. I think they will back down to the low 3′s by the dog days of summer.

Also not listed, TNA Wrestling on Thursday nights have been doing a solid 1.3 for the past month or so. They’re years away from challenging the WWE but nice to a #2 wrestling company starting to emerge.

WWE is getting big numbers every week. I think they have won the week in Cable almost every week this year except for a few weeks.

The draft did good numbers. The thing is, i think that the ddraft should start at 9 and end at 12. I bet that the 11pm hour could have actaully pulled more than 4.7 mill.

And CW is struggling in every way, i dont know why they let go of Smackdown, that was consisitantly their top show and top demographic. They need more shows that pull around 5 mill.

Robert, any suggestions for finding the ratings of our favorite ad-supported cable shows? I tried the link from The Hollywood Reporter you gave us, and the article on Rod Blagojevich being on a reality show spooked me from ever doing research again. :-O

Robert: The next new Spongebob–Spongebob Vs The Big One–will air on Friday. However, it will be more of a special episode than a regular series episode. Also, Johnny Depp will be doing a voice-over, so I expect higher than average ratings for this episode compared to regular new episodes.

By: JoJo

JoJo — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 07:00:53 +0000

Ryan: Kyle XY not only stood up on its own, but it was the highest rated show to ever appear on ABC Family, until The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Additionally, Kyle XY was repeated on the regular ABC channel to fill in some dead time on Fridays and did fairly well. For example, the first episode had 5.2 million viewers.
The large slip in the ratings for Kyle XY came during this last season. Two things caused it. One, The Secret Life of the American Teenager did better than ABC expected and Kyle XY was no longer the anchor show for the ABC Family channel it had been until that point. Two, the writer’s strike put a huge dent into the show. The first season had 10 episodes, the second had 23 and the third season had the number of episodes cut back down to 10 again.

The WWE is red hot and its cookin’ big time right now. #1 and #2. I also liked how iCarly got over 5 million viewers. iCarly is the one cable show that should be on one of the broadcasters. If The CW had a few shows that were good as iCarly was or got those type of ratings then it could be looked at as a serious contender instead of a joke.

Good week for Rescue Me and Saving Grace. SG has done a great job of performing on its own.

The Hills is a joke and The City is way better and should’ve gotten its ratings during its run earlier this week.

By the way the Draft on Raw last night scored huge numbers and should be at the top again next week:
The first hour drew an average of 4,722,000 viewers, jumped up to 5,981,000 viewers in the second hour, but dipped down to 5,666,000 viewers in the third and final hour. What’s interesting about that rating is the fact that the first hour scored 4.7 million viewers and it normally does worse than that in the first hour.

Could we get the ratings for the NHL and NBA Playoffs?

The NHL might be seeing some great ratings for its playoffs since their on the rise each season and the Blackhawks are back in the picture.

Kyle XY was cancelled bacause it is suppose to be ABC Fanily’s hit program, but it seemed to not stand that good on its own. Even if it did better than Greek, it was suppose to have 2 million + viewers and that didnt happen. Greek can last on its own, but ABC Family likes it and they will probably stick it behind the secret life.
