On a sleepy holiday weekend Sunday, CBS' Big Brother drew a 2.3 adults 18-49 rating and towered over the rest of the mostly repeat competition. That was still down 0.5 ratings points compared to last week's show that went against the Emmy Awards. Evidently, as a ratings suppressant the end of American summer > TV awards.
ABC'S The Gates limped in with just a 0.7/0.8 adults 18-49 rating, down a tenth of a point from its last new episode two weeks ago.

Nielsen TV Ratings: ©2010 The Nielsen Company. All Rights Reserved.
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. 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.
For more information see Numbers 101 and Numbers 102.
Unlike Saturday night when a 1.2 rating registered an 8 share in the 8:00 half-hour, there doesn’t seem to be any unusually high shares for the programs that aired on this “sleepy holiday weekend Sunday.”Big Brother’s 2.3 is very good for summer, but it got that same 8 share on the couple of episodes it got a 2.3 earlier in the season. If the HUT levels were really affected due to Labor Day, it would’ve registered at least a 10 share with that 2.3 rating. When also taking into consideration that there were no major pre-emptions last night unlike Thursday, I would be extremely worried about BB’s sudden decline if I were CBS. They should seriously pre-empt tomorrow’s NCIS:LA rerun for a rerun of last night’s BB. It was so close to getting a 3.0 on its own (without the help of Survivor for next Wednesday’s finale)!
I can’t believe the Gates is still on.
ABC has nothing better to air.
I’d settle for repeats of Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters at this point. I gave up on the The Gates after the pilot episode. I think ABC knew it was trash, so they aired it in the summer as a burn off.
I think it was conceived as a summer series from the get-go, considering the shooting schedule. They began shooting around April-May.
