   I like how a 4 AM rerun of Titan Maximum did better than other shows in better timeslots in the 18-49 demo.

   The Hangover did great on TNT (9pm, 0.8). It’s been played a lot on TBS recently and still able to perform well.

   People love Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. I like watching it but only when I’m tired or nothing else is on.

   You could never go wrong with a Disney animated movie.

   Monsters Inc. rerun numbers really make me think Disney should become mostly a rerun movie channel or at least create a Disney Movie Channel, where its all movie reruns.

   Not to put too fine a point on it but….
   ———————————————————–
   NBA REGULAR SEASON L ESPN 9:30 PM 2.328 1.0
   NBA REGULAR SEASON L ESPN 7:00 PM 1.199 0.5

   NHL QUARTER FINALS L NBCSN 7:30 PM 1.073 0.5

   This is a tremendous improvement for the NHL – previous highest playoff
   QTR FINAL was 1.030 mil – a sugnificant increase of 0.043 mil or a massive 4.175% improvement from just Wednesday – the NHL is on an upswing no doubt about it! (see, I can do it too )

    We all know hockey is up in the ratings this season. We get it already. Move on. It can go up but it will never get the numbers that the NBA gets. Just like the NBA will never get the numbers that the NFL gets.

    USA is like the CBS of Cable.

    Kickass viewership but its all mostly old skewed.

    Your missing the Magic City numbers again. This is the third week in a row.

    @Teddy, we don’t “miss” any numbers. If a show’s not in the top 100 we don’t get it.

    In Plain Sight & Fairly Legal can’t crack a million in the demo.

    NBA fans almost seem to be getting upset because they know the NHL is rising…

    And did you really compare the distance between the NBA and NHL to the distance between the NBA and NFL?

    Not even close bud.

    I’m not even a big NBA fan. You’re so desperate. Kind of sad. NFL destroys them both. Understand now? NFL kills the NBA. NBA kills the NHL. NHL is up this season. Most sports have been the last few years. Not all but most. You’re comparing the NHL playoffs to the NBA season. Are you that desperate? When the NBA playoffs start next week. Then compare the ratings of the first round of the NBA to the NHL’s first round. The NBA will win easily. NHL is behind golf too. It’s lasttttttttt. Doesn’t mean that it’s not successful and doesn’t make lots of money. It does. NBA finals last year had a 10.1 rating and 17.28 million vieers. the NHL had a 3.1 rating and 5.31 viewers for the NBC games in the finals. Easily more than three times the viewers. It beats the NHL easily. NFL had 111.3 million viewers in the superbowl. The superbowl destroys them both and everything else easily.

    That was my sarcasm Jordan, but nevermind Matt took the bait – hey Mutt (oops..) isn’t grand how the NHL is just on the brink of passing that ole thuggish NBA? LOL!

    Don’t have time to make a long reply because I’ve got a final, but the fact that you kids have to attack it shows it. It’s sad really.
