18.7 for a new show congrats NCIS La
the CW is in Big Troblue
Wow. HUGE NCIS numbers! That’s awesome! My favorite show. Plus, the premiere is amazing with all the Tony and Ziva shippiness!
Indeed. The CW’s 3 prime entries that are supposed to lock down the young girl demo (Melrose, 90210, GG) are tanking miserably.
I also noticed that “The Good Wife” had a bigger demo drop-off than I originally thought. Going from a 4.4 (NCIS L.A.) to a 3.1 is a heck of a tumble, and that was just the premiere. The numbers are bound to drop further before settling in.
Wow, Jay almost tied the Forgotten in demos.
I’m not an expert at the math behind figuring the demo; but isn’t it natural for 10pm shows to have lower demos than 8 and 9 pm shows?
If you add the shares together, in the 9pm hour the 5 networks had a 16.3 (11 if you just count CBS, ABC, NBC). The 10pm hour had a total of 8.2
That wouldn’t heed too horrible for The Good Wife’s drop off when compared to NCIS:LA?
The NCIS numbers are very good but I am still impressed with the demo that House put up on Monday night, especially against Monday Night Football. I think it even exceeded FOX’s expectations especially because of how low the season finale numbers were in May.
@Bruce – “Going from a 4.4 (NCIS L.A.) to a 3.1 is a heck of a tumble”
Only if you’re a retentionista, which all of the site writers, and most of the serious posters here, are not.
The fact is that a 3.0, especially at 10pm, especially when produced in house, will get you renewed at every network nowadays…
except for CBS, sometimes.
Assuming this doesn’t drop much, this will headline CBS’s Renew/Cancel posts for the rest of the year (well, once Rivers gets yanked in week three). And I do mean rest of the year, as a 3.0, even on CBS, will get you a backorder while CBS sees if there’s mitigating factors – high income viewers, strong pilot competition, decays in other shows, etc.
But if it starts dropping… CBS would probably still give it a partial backorder to see how the midseasons shake out.
i woulda thought melorse would skew higher in 18-49 than 90210
guess i was wrong
Tom, I think Three Rivers will be yanked after week 4, but thats only because CBS tends to give series more time (The Ex List got yanked after 4 weeks). However Rivers will get axed.
Melrose Place will be renewed, despite low ratings.
y are the final #s always different from the overnight numbers and is the final # the official #?
The overnight numbers are “who was watching station X” during each 15 minute period. The final numbers are actually by show, removing people who were really watching a local-interest football game, weather reports, etc. and accounting for overruns (which were really popular for ABC last season). It also adjusts for the time difference for networks in central time zone. Possibly some other things.
It’s CW’s fault about melrose, it’s marketing is bad, i know they promoted it but come on, it’s not like their other trashy shows, I can imagine it leading out of Desperate Housewives. It really is a good series.
I warms my heart to see scripted shows beat Reality.
