As almost always seems to be the case, the yammering of the echo chamber that is the Internet doesn't equate to ratings, and so it was for NBC's whose streak of winning nights came to an end. FOX led the night with So You Think You Can Dance while NBC's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here took a back seat to So You Think You Can Dance and ABC's Wipeout. Perhaps with the adults 18-49 ratings under a 2.0, Speidi can now leave happily. Spencer and Heidi fans will claim they didn't watch because they didn't think they were still on the show!
NBC still came in second place for the night thanks to the second part of Inside the Obama White House special and the season finale of Law & Order.
ABC's The Goode Family looked pretty bad at 9:00pm and much worse still at 9:30p. That didn't help matters for (what I believe was) the season/series finale The Unusuals (oops, the series finale is on 6/17, there are still two episodes to go -- thanks to Melissa in the comments for correcting!).
Repeats of Criminal Minds and CSI: NY were, as usual, strong for CBS

Nielsen TV Ratings: ©2009 The Nielsen Company. All Rights Reserved.
Definitions:
Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live football game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.
Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.
Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)
Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs which are currently in approximately 24.4% of all U.S. TV households. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

I was following Twitter’s trending topics much of last night and Wipeout and SYTYCD had more discussions going on than IACGMOOH.
Chief, fair enough, but I didn’t see any blog posts about either of those shows yesterday BEFORE the shows aired, and I saw what seemed like dozens of stories about I’m a Celebrity…
If Denny Terrio isn’t in some nursing home somewhere, maybe we can bring back “Dance Fever” – and it will probably be a ratings HIT!
Oh bummer: I knew NBC would fall to second place; SYTYCD is too strong! Can’t wait for America’s Talent and The CW’s Hitched or Ditched is a “success!”
Goode Family is already dead after its 2nd episode. Déjà vu.
I couldn’t watch Wipeout last night because they wanted to talk about the VA governor’s race. I’m not even voting for any of these people. What a bad break.
NBC had better hope that I’m A Celebrity is close to the floor, because they have a lot of airtime still commited to this show.
Are those 18-34′s for So You Think You Can Dance right? It really did exactly the same 18-34 and 18-49 from 8:30 and only .1 out at 8? That’s really very impressive and if it can maintain those 18-34 viewers in the fall its going to dominate that demo…
Too bad for The Goode Family…both episodes last night were quite good and an improvement over the pilot…hopefully ABC lets it play out its run
Alex, yes, the numbers for SYTYD are correct.
I caught the last 10 minutes of the Goode Family last night and thought that it seemed to be at least OK. Certainly far better than Sit Down, Shut Up. I don’t think it is being promoted very well though. . . or else I don’t watch a whole lot of ABC. It does have a KOTH feel to it. I hope it gets a chance to stick around. I’ll be sure to give it a full look next week.
abc must pull the goode family next week. that numbers hurts my eyes!
What happened to Surviving Suburbia? Was it cancelled?
Im a Celebrity had such an incredibly short shelf life, I have no idea why NBC wanted to burn through it so quick.
Itll be interesting to see if NBC’s lineup today of Celebrity & the Listener can beat the Stanley Cup Finals.
Master Moron-
I read somewhere that they had in fact cancelled Suburbia, but in looking at next week’s schedule, it is supposed to air. I guess we’ll find out next week
MM, Suburbia isn’t on the fall schedule, and has now been pulled from the summer schedule where its episodes were set to be burned off. I can see a small possibility those episodes still get burned off sometime, but there’s no way it’s coming back with newly produced episodes.
I have a question to Robert, Bill or whoever can answer it: What is ABC going to do with The Goode Family?
They could get better ratings with almost any show (yes, even Suburbia), but they have like 10 episodes left…
Dennis, I have no idea. This is a show that has all its episodes in the can, airing in the summer, when ABC (so far at least) has just been getting crushed most nights. They could easily pull it today or let it finish out all its episodes.
The Unusuals is still showing on Comcast as having a couple of weeks to go before their Series Finale on 6/17. Too bad, as the wife and I enjoy the quirkiness of the show…the again, we enjoyed the new Knight Rider too…
me too conman
its gonna be a long summer
only a few bright lights in another wise dark sky..
all on cable
burn notice closer monk etc
