  1. The Pillars of the Earth took a pretty big tumble. I guess it wasn't Spartacus enough, despite a few sex scenes, murders, and even rape!

  2. OMG! iCarly rules! 7.7 million viewers just put everything on network television to shame. Highest rated program of the night.

  3. Last week was also available on Encore (which is essentially added into a lot of cable packages without having to subscribe to it directly), this week it was only on Starz. The “Starz Only” tumble wasn't as big. Last week .423 million viewers and the same 0.1 A18-49 for just the Starz telecast.

    Haven's overall was up a bit but their 18-49 was down a bit again. Eureka's doing well. Their 18-49 is nice and strong. Looks like Syfy Friday's isn't bad.

  5. Haven's overall was up a bit but their 18-49 was down a bit again.

    Sorry, but no, its 18-49 number was not down, in fact it was up versus last week (0.5).

    Just think of the numbers the major networks could obtain with some of these shows in their line-up …sorry, I forgot, nobody watches TV on Friday night – Ya RIGHT !

  9. WooHooo! Go icarly I TOLD YALL icarly was domiante the chart! so did it top the weekly cable??

  10. I still haven't seen all of Sunday night's #s and won't until tomorrow, but I think it's pretty safe to say iCarly will be most-watched for the week.

  11. wait what happend to disney friday night lineup it was going against icarly do u have the ratings for the disney shows on friday and congrats icarly!!! WooHoo! :)

  12. People not watching TV on Friday is a huge myth. iCarly posted 7.7 million viewers in the middle of the summer on a Friday Night.

    Judging from these ratings they seem to be spread out to the cable networks. The networks don't watchable programming and that's where the problem lies.

  13. Do Nielsen households have an overwhelming majority of parenting households? I don't know much about icarly, but based on the picture, I'm guessing kids and tweens? I wish we had the actual number of households and individuals instead of them making assumptions based on statistics. I know, it's a sore spot.

    Obligatory Anti-SGU comment:
    I don't care what time of year these shows run, this can't look too good for SGU when Syfy looks at what a popular show can pull in on a Friday night.
    Can't imagine how the numbers will improve much on a Tuesday, with even more competition.

    iCarly is such a ratings juggernaut! The only other show that does so well in the kid and teen demos is American Idol. Having 39% of all kids watching TV at 8pm on Friday night that are watching your show is extremely impressive.

    No offense, but Disney Channel sucks with their live-action shows. The Suite Life on Deck is nothing more than a cheesy 70s/80s style sitcom. (It should be on TV Land instead of Disney.) Wizards of Waverly Place is like a Sabrina, The Teenage Witch wannabe. Unless the Disney shows start emulating the edgy (not meaning inappropriate, but creatively unique) style of Nickelodeon sitcoms, they will never be the ratings monster that iCarly is. And no I don't know anyone that works for Nickelodeon; I've just always felt the tone of Nickelodeon's sitcoms is better than the tone of Disney's sitcoms.

  16. TheFirstAvenger

    Lol, you make it sound like all of Nick's live action shows get the ratings as iCarly when they barely reach the level of Disney's shows.

    I think the main reason behind iCarly's huge success is because Nick treats every new episode as a special event and doesn't just promote them as a regular “new episode”

  17. GeorgeTarzan

    They don't air new episodes on Fridays. Sundays is where they do it.

  18. GeorgeTarzan

    Exactly. Every new episode is treated as a special event, not just a regular episode.

    Also, I believe its not so much that people don't watch TV on Fridays or Saturdays, its more kids/tweens than adults.

  19. Once again, iCarly just kills it. I am not surprised at its continued ratings success; the show is genuinely funny. My young niece likes the silliness and I like the humorous nods given to adult viewers. Such as the random “Carpenters” sight gag in the latest episode. Besides, the acting is much better than that found on (most) Disney tween shows and iCarly usually eschews the kind of cheesy feel good moments that I hate. Nick had better hope they can get at least one more season out of the cast/crew.

    Nielsen tries to get their population to match the population, so the percentage of parenting households in the sample should be close to the percentage of parenting households in the overall population.
