Hi folks! I was curious how the BB tv show is doing in the ratings, so I dug up the daily ratings on the net. I volunteer to post each week's ratings here, as often as I can.

I agree!! This great info. I hope CBS is aware how little we like the Sat recap show.

But isn't TV viewing a bit lower on Saturday evening overall? I like the Saturday show.

chrisp - any idea how this stacks up against the other Network stuff?? Its hard for me to look at that and know if its good or bad compared to the other major network shows.

I am just curious if CBS is gonna keep it going - is it holding up well against the competition???

thanks either way!!

Alfredo -- yes, Saturday nights I believe are the least-watched night overall.

Ryn -- In general, the Wed shows are #2 after Survivor, and the other nights rate much lower, with Saturday's show usually in the cellar. Would it help if I also included the rating of the #1 show that night?

By the way, here's the URL I am pulling the data from, so you can keep me on my toes:

Chrisp,

Thanks so much for this....quick question - I take it from your graph that even the top show on Saturday is pretty poorly rated? So maybe nothing would do well on a Saturday?? Is that how you read the numbers?

Alfredo

Yep, Matty, that's what I was trying to say earlier in this thread. Good to see the numbers back me up on this.

Sorry I missed that message Alfredo...got caught up looking at the pretty graphs...

It's always nice to have the numbers back you up!

What is interesting is the huge dip in numbers from survivor to BB on Wendsdays. Looks like 8 million either go to bed or switch channels then.

According to this mornings newspaper, "CBS's other reality show, Big Brother nabbed fifth place with its Wednesday live edition, but the voyeurvision series wasn't so bit in its other installments, which ranked 30, 40.42 and 73." This is a quote from the Memphis Commerical Appeal.

Thanks for this information.

I think we can expect a solid ratings dip starting next week. Without the major bump BB got from the Wednesday Survivor, the Wednesday BB will slowly drop as Survivor fans give it a chance then look elsewhere for their kick until someone takes a knee at the Super Bowl.

Without the added exposure, the other nights will drop. Since the show has little signs of life, I wouldn't be surprised if CBS cancelled the show and started it's "promising" Fall programming early.

The scariest aspect of this graph is how much drop off there was between Survivor and BB on Wednesday. I cannot believe how little of the audience they are keeping!

Chrisp this is terrific stuff. The stats support my gut reaction. I have stuck with BB TV shows because the picture is so much better than the live feeds..I mean how else could I tell that poor britt's hair is now white not green. But the shows are poor in content and except for the live nomination shows of which about 15 minutes is interesting and the actual banishment show of which about 17 minutes is interesting the rest is little more than a tease and a poor one at that. IMHO only of course.

Can you give their rank as well as their rating? It would be interesting to compare. Thanks!
