nba up from game 1 6.5 last year!
‘NCIS’ was ajusted up ! Good ratings for NBA !
I wish we had the final numbers after 11 because the games keep going up at that point and it went off around 11:45
I can’t believe people didn’t tune in in droves to watch Gay Pride on The Catalina…
Was it a repeat of 48 hours on CBS?
Wait, JKL was a 2.2 in the preliminaries. How is it 1.0 now?
Nick: because at 8pm people on the west coast were watching the last half of the basketball game and that got counted as “8pm” viewing in the fast nationals.
@John A: yep, according to the finals we saw it was a repeat of 48 Hours. I’ve updated the table.
I was right! I said game 1 would be around 16 million in the final ratings
@Robert thanks.So is 48 hours over till September than?
@Robert
Thanks
@John A
No. During the summer, 48 Hours moves to Tuesday. The season has repeats and originals, just like any season..
@John A
So is 48 hours over till September than?
Currently CBS is airing repeats from this season on Saturday and updated versions of older episodes on Tuesday (whether that counts as new or not is debatable).
They typically don’t have all new episodes during the summer, but exceptions can be made (e.g. the Casey Anthony one last year).
If the casual fan didn’t know who Kevin Durant was, they sure found out. He was amazing as usual. So was Westbrook
@ Robert
Do you know when CBS and The CW will revealed the Premiere Dates for their Shows ?
@Dean_W no, but if prior past history holds up in 10-20 days or so.
Great numbers for bball! And two teams from not the greatest markets. There must be a big draw from LeBron James being in it. good going.
… well yeah and LeBron versus Durant. Sure.
And what about The Glee Project? The rating for the Premiere was very weak. Was the second episode better?
Thanks your reply,
@ Robert
I Hope you’re right. Can’t wait !
great numbers for the NBA, this isn’t just for the championship though. It’s to determine who is the #2 best player in the NBA right now (Kobe being #1).
