I just hope How I met Your Mothers numbers improve this season. I hear it was in talks to be cancelled or something. Hopefully they will win an Emmy (doubt it) and that will help bring up some numbers. It’s seriously a great show

Yup, I know it averaged 10+ million last season but what I was hoping is that it will at least have 10+ million the lowest possible rating for every episode next season. Of course I want it to be higher and I think it could, I’m just preventing setting myself with too much expectation

forg,

You do realize TBBT averaged 10.14 million viewers an episode last year right? It exploded from December through like March, then cooled down again, but it still averaged 10 mil for the season. You should be hoping for like 12-13 million viewers an episode.

I’m so happy for The Big Bang Theory! Although its not comparable to the success of True Blood and Burn Notice but for me the success of the reruns TBBT and The Mentalist is one of the best stories this summer season. I’m excited for Fall, I’m hoping for 10+ million viewers every week and they continue to beat 2.5 Men in the demo!

I really miss the old way you did the ratings, in which each show within an hour was compared. It gave me the information I was looking for fast and easy to understand.

This way you tell me which network did best but then I have to translate everything into by each hour (8 pm, 9 pm, 10 pm) to figure out what it means and how shows compare.

I vote to bring back the table.

I watched Secret Life at 7:00pm, then Gossip Girl at 8:00pm, and lastly Castle at 9:00pm.

I recorded Make It or Break It and watched it late last night.

Since the table is history, I like this format of R/S, Total after each show.

And True Blood beat everything but CBS.

Indeed. TBBT is the one to watch in a little over four weeks time.

Thats definitely not the series finale of Dating in the Dark. ABC will definitely bring it back next year.

With the Dating in the Dark finale last night, we recently had an interview with a contestant. She talks about what really happens on the show… Interesting talk.
