DISCOVERY CHANNEL'S Dirty Jobs TOPS TUESDAY NIGHT
AS #1 CABLE TELECAST IN PRIMETIME AMONG KEY DEMOSOn Tuesday, December 8, 2009, the 9PM premiere telecast of Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs was the #1 primetime cable telecast among Persons 25-54 and 18-49, and Men 25-54 and 18-49 in delivery and ratings. Strengthened by Dirty Jobs, Discovery was the #1 primetime cable network for Men 25-54 ratings and delivery.
GHOST LAB, in its first season on Discovery Channel and airing directly following Dirty Jobs at 10PM, ranked in the top ten among Men 25-54 on primetime cable.
Mike is a hottie but I’ve only watched this once or twice. Don’t get the appeal. And even less for ghost crap. Maybe you have to believe in them to watch. These ghost shows always remind me of wwc wrestling. It’s not real so I could never take it seriously.
Dirty Jobs is fascinating. I love it. I never knew how they cleaned the outside of high rises, especially the ones with strange angles and such. I’m not surprised it does well with Persons 25-54. (Although the ‘Persons’ tag is funny. Bill explained it but persons still makes it sound like there’s a third sex or something – men, women and persons.
I think a lot more women are getting into watching things like Dirty Jobs and Mythbusters and such. It’s not just guys who are interested in how things work, although the ‘ewww’ factor is probably a bigger draw for the guys.lol
I’ve been watching Dirty Jobs since it first hit the air and enjoy the hell out of it. Mike Rowe is an engaging, self-effacing kind of guy.
I don’t believe I have ever heard anything negative said about the man.
That’s rare in this industry.
Although I do not watch it frequently, it is entertaining.
