another good rating last night...they tied Fox for the hour overall (5.6), but won the first half hour. Lost the 2nd half hour to AI (4.8 for Bernie Mac, 6.4 for AI)...

As expected, CBS just announced that the last episode of BB3 will air on Wednesday, September 25th at 9PM Eastern---Against the first ep of Bachelor 2. Nice way to segue into AR3 as well, which starts the week after....

Apparently BB did *very* well on Saturday... Not as well as during the week, but compared to last week and pretty much any Saturday even in BB1 or 2.. According to Zap2it.com, it had a 5.0/11!
This is a clear #1 for the time period, (Cops was t 4.0/9).. That's a 30% improvement in one week.. Clearly, "the twist" was a big draw... So far though, they just insured that the people who watch on Wed & Thur also caught the Sat episode, so the key will be to attract new viewers during the week... Does anyone know how much longer American Idol will be on to drain Wed viewers?

American Idol wraps up September 4th. They are planning a special with all 30 finalists for the end of September. I would think they'd avoid having that on against BB's finale though. Based on Saturday's jump they should do really well this week especially considering all the conflict they have set to air.

..and it did indeed do well.. record well in fact! According to zap2it.com, it received a 6.7/12 rating, good enough to win the full hour (again) and crush Bernie Mac (4.8/6) for the first half hour.. Unfortunately BBs arch nemesis American Idol did sneak away with the rating (though not share!) win in the second half hour (6.9/11).. This is the first time over "12" in share, and we still have many weeks to go!

Maybe thursday is when we see it beat 7.0 for the first time?

Well....the 2 hour show didn't do too badly overall. They won the first hour overall, was in 2nd place the 2nd hour overall, and helped CBS win the night. They got crushed by American Idol in the 9:30-10 period, however.

9-10: BB3 6.6/11=1st (2nd=Fox= Bernie Mac 5.2/9 American Idol, 7.8/13)


10-11 BB3 6.4/11=2nd (1st=NBC Law and Order 8.7/15)

With summer repeats still in full force, CBS' new episode of "Big Brother 3" breathed a little bit of new life onto the airwaves at 8 p.m., pulling a 3.9/8 for the hour. FOX's back-to-back repeats of "Cops" placed second with a 3.8/8, followed by ABC's broadcast of College Football: Maryland vs. Nortre Dame, 3.9/8. NBC's rerun of "Crime & Punishment" came in last place with a disappointing 2.2/5.

So catching up.... I notice things get screwy as CBS messes with the show times and other Companies show new stuff.

Saturday 9/14

At 8 p.m., CBS' "Big Brother" (4.7/9) topped FOX's season premiere of "Cops" (4.6/9). ABC's college football coverage placed third and NBC was fourth with "The Forensic Files," 3.5/7.


Wednesday 9/18 (BB aired one hour early)

Three networks were bunched near the top at 8 p.m. The season premiere of "The Bernie Mac Show," 6.1/11, and the debut of "Cedric the Entertainer Presents," 6.1/10, put FOX in a in a virtual tie with ABC, which aired repeats of "My Wife and Kids," 5.8/10 and 6.3/10. CBS' "Big Brother 3," 6.0/10, was close behind.


Thursday 9/19 (Survivor previous hour)

CBS also took 9 p.m. with the eviction of Amy on "BB3," 9.3/15, followed by the repeat of of NBC's one-hour "Will & Grace" season finale that averaged an 8.9/14 for the hour. ABC aired a new episode of "Push, Nevada," 5.4/9, pulling ahead of UPN's wrestling to take third.


Saturday 9/21 (ABC Miss America)

ABC started off in the No. 1 slot at 8 p.m. with a 5.7/12 for the hour, with its nearest competition coming from CBS' final Head of Household contest on "Big Brother 3," 5.1/10. FOX was third with two new episodes of "Cops" averaging a 4.6/9 for the hour leaving NBC in last place with "Meet My Folks," 2.1/4.

Ryn, I also read in my EW magazine that a BB (two weeks ago I think) had something like 10.6 million viewers. Pretty good!

Ryn

Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 06:58 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Wendo - the second number is a rough estimate of the "millions of viewers" if I am not mistaken.

In other words Saturday Miss America had about 12 million and BB had about 10 million.

The 1st # is roughly the % of tvs on at the time (once again - thats from memory).

Also, these numbers are the "fast overnight" numbers - they do change slightly after all the data is compiled, but this has been good enough for me :)

before this gets closed...the final ep ratings info...
from zap2it:
"The West Wing," 11.7/18, gave NBC the lead at 9 p.m. CBS averaged 8.0/12 with the finale of "Big Brother 3," while ABC premiered a new season of "The Bachelor," 6.2/10. FOX's "Fastlane," 5.3/8, was fourth

So another case of look at the competition, that was West Wings season premire. I never watch the show but actually recorded that one since part of it was supposed to take place in Indiana.
