For most of the summer ABC and CBS line ups have been locked in a close fight for Monday supremacy. Last night, The Bachelorette, with results almost identical to last week, provided ABC with just enough ratings boost to edge CBS repeats with a 2.0 adults 18-49 demo for the nightly win.

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! was down 0.2 ratings points in the adults 18-49 demo from last Monday, and ABC's Here Come the Newlyweds was down 0.1.

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.

    Another night of boring TV. How much longer until Celebrity is finished? So sick of seeing and hearing about it.

    For Monday’s this fall this what i feel
    How i met ur mother will go down in the ratings at 8pm
    Accidentally Purposed is going to be an OK (Average Show)
    The Big Bang Theory will probably be a huge hit at 9:30pm considering it is doing better in the summer than what it did in the spring.

    I’m not suprised about lie to me going down almost went down 1 million views. It was because of techibal deficalties with fox from 9 to 10 . I put it ok it as like frozen. Srrt if I spelled word wrong my keyboard is messed up I have tto getit fixed (:(:

    The only one of the three grouped around 2 and a Half Men I’ve seen is How I met Yur Mother. I was just thinking at 3 AM for no good reason that what I did not like about Friends, and this applies moreso to shows like HIMYM, is no straight man or woman. I think that’s why the comedy goes flat after a while. Having no interest in the other two, I can make no judgment. I do think Charlie’s show is only for group viewing. Alone, the dirty jokes are not sufficient for good ‘bating material ( see ” Idiocracy,,” for definition.)

    Its sad that the most interesting thing here is Fox and CBS slotting in repeat preivews of their Monday fall line-up (minus one CBS sitcom). What’s even worse is that those numbers don’t even give a clear idea of how things will pan out in the fall.

    Superstars on ABC and Got Talent on NBC couldn’t get here fast enough. For the first time since the end of the season outside of the NHL and NBA both ABC and NBC will have two summer programs worth watching on the same night.

    Last night was dead and networks are hitting new lows everytime I look at the ratings now. Nothing outside of CBS repeats was a real standout tonight. The Bachelorette is doing a real average performance compared to its fall run.

    I tell you where the real TV is at. It sure isn’t on the networks, its on cable. USA had its best ratings week historically. Last night offerings of Raw on USA, The Closer/Raising the Bar on TNT and ABC’s Family combo of Teenager and Gymnastics was stuff worth watching.

    ABC Family is killing The CW right now when it comes to programming that demo right. Both shows were amazing after I watched them this morning on DVR. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did well. ABC Family minus well replace The CW that way their stuff can get seen in more households.

    Yeah, Mondays are pretty bad. I’m A Celebrity… is over on Wednesday. There’s way better stuff on cable on Mondays than on the nets.

    I wonder how Secret Life did last night. I know the season finale hit the 4 million mark (someone correct me if I’m wrong).

    Say what you will about reality being cheap and therefore profitable, the fact remains you can’t repeat it. CBS mulit-cam sitcoms are repeating better than new summer reality and that cost them a lot less than new reality. Makes you wonder why other networks can’t seem to find it in themselves to devote more space to sitcoms when they are cheaper than most other scripted programming, repeat better than almost anything, do well in syndication, and are capable of bringing in first-run numbers as big as anything else.

    when does americas got talent begin
    i didn’t watch it last season because i didn’t really know what night it was on and stuff

  11. daniel, AGT starts tonight.

  12. tdot

    Keaton, Secret Life got 4.7 million viewers last night
    not bad, eh?

    First of all, you need sitcoms that are acually HIT SHOWS!!!! BBT, HIMYM, and 2 1/2 Men are hits in their own right. Sitcoms for the sake of sitcoms will not work.

    BBT will defently get a boost in their third season. Chuck Lorie must be VERY happy about the pair up. The one shot night in the last season proved its a worthy combo.
