Here's the mediaweek ratings....

"Big Brother 7: All-Stars opened the season with a depressed (but still dominant) 5.1/ 9 in the overnights, 7.69 million viewers, and a 2.8/10 among adults 18-49 at 8 p.m. Comparatively, the year-ago Big Brother season-opener scored a 6.1/11 in the overnights, 8.47 million viewers, and a 3.4/11 among adults 18-49 in this time period on Thursday, July 7, 2005."

(Tuesday is the other All-Star game, so the ratings will be off...a bigger test should be next Thursday and the following Sunday-which is a new timeslot...)

Interesting, since All-Stars had the most pre-season hype (and viewer participation) of them all. I wonder why the ratings were "depressed" for the season's premiere?

I wouldn't worry about the first couple of weeks...BB always tends to start off slow, then build..

Despite some people's claims that they are bored with All Stars, IMO Big Brother is performing fine in the ratings.

From ZAP2it:

Fast National ratings for Thursday

Another Thursday, another ratings win for CBS. The Eye rolled to an easy Nielsen win for the night ……..

"Big Brother: All-Stars" got CBS out of the gate with a 4.5/8 at 8 p.m. NBC was second for the hour with reruns of "My Name Is Earl," 3.8/7, and "The Office," 3.1/5. "Master of Champions" put ABC in third. An hour of "That '70s Show" on FOX delivered a 2.6/5. The WB's "Smallville" repeat, 1.5/3, edged "Everybody Hates Chris" and "Love, Inc." on UPN.

I don't think reruns on other stations are much competition though, Jimsky...I'd probably tune in out of curiosity to BB if I'd never seen it, given the option of reruns and the rest of the choices.

The point though is that it is beating its competition (lame though the competition may be). And that's what matters to CBS, it's what makes it worth doing and it's what keeps the show on the air.

Not sure if I am allowed to post here but I kind of resent the fact that they are only doing the 18-49 age group. I have to wonder, how many of us here are in our 50's or higher?

Mods, remove if I shouldn't have done this.

I reached my sixties last year, so I'm annoyed too, Nynana!
If I was a CBS executive, I wouldn't be all that proud of the ratings either, when BB is beaten by RERUNS! LOL!

According to Zap2it, last night's overall rating for the show was a 4.7/9.

It really is silly to make the "key" demographic cut off at 49 in this day and age when people are living longer, staying younger and healthier, and people in their 50's and 60's are still spending plenty of money on these sponsors.

Absolutely you're allowed to post here Nynana.

I think they focus on that age group because they have been considered the major spenders. As some of you suggest that may change or be changing over time (or they may be wrong in your case).

They very definitely care who is watching. I understand that is one reason why golf remains on network TV despite the fact that it draws a relatively low number of viewers. The viewers it does draw are high income, a clearly defined demographic and a great target for advertisers.

Baby Boomers will definitely move the high end of the age range upwards in that demographic. We're a very large group with which to be reckoned and have changed how much is viewed in the world age-wise.

It's really the advertisers driving that key demo of 18-49. That's the number they use to base their ad dollars spending on. Not ony do they think that people in that age range spened more, but they think people 50+ have more brand loyalty and are less apt to be influenced by ads. LOL they think we're too stubborn to change.

Do we have any idea what the "ratings" of the live feeds are? What percentage of viewers who watch the TV show are also watching the live feeds?
