Gadzooks | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 12:56 am     Looks like Big Brother did well on its first night out......even with the stiff competition from American Idol ...it still came out on top...check out the link http://tv.zap2it.com/news/dailynielsenrankings.html?26910 |
Remus | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 04:44 am     That's pretty good considering American Idol is a popular reality show |
Espen | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 04:58 am     It was about 0.1 ratings points behind on average in the key 18-49 rating, though it was better even in that for the first half hour.. And yes, since Idol is considered a "success" I think that is a good sign for BB.. It will be interesting to see what last night's ratings were, since it was in the "survivor" slot, before CSI, which wasn't on yet last year, but is now doing better than any other show in reruns.. |
Missy666 | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 06:38 am     I hope the ratings continue to be good, this is such a great show they need to keep it every year |
Joan | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 04:52 pm     They were smart to air it on a non-voting day for American Idol. |
Wilsonatmd | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 12:08 am     Well here are the overnight ratings for week 1: Wed: 6.1/11- Won the timeslot; Beat American Idol Thurs: 5.3/10- 2nd in timeslot to NBC's combo of Friends and Scrubs Sat: 3.6/8- 2nd in timeslot to COPS The Saturday rating is a little misleading. Saturdays are usually the worst rating night of the week, and there were pre-emptions for baseball in major markets (Baltimore for sure, and I heard about a couple of others), and thus BB was shown in timeslots from 11:35PM to 3:35AM in those places. This second week should prove more telling, as Wednesday they only have a half-hour of American Idol to deal with, and Thursday is the first live eviciton. |
Ryn | Monday, July 22, 2002 - 10:21 am     ok - table time?? - Fast Affiliate Ratings via zap2it rating/share Wednesday 7-17-02 "Big Brother 3" (5.8/10) kept CBS in the top spot at 9 p.m. as NBC's "The West Wing" drew 5.3/9 to take second.

Ryn | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 07:50 am     No ratings yet for last night... |
Espen | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 10:13 am     Ratings are in for Wednesday.. And they are on the way up! 6.4/11 for BB3, which beat West Wing (6.3/10) for the third time. Adittedly, a half hour of American Idol did have 7.1/11, though Bernie Mac pulled Fox' average for the your down to 6.1/10. Pretty close between all three though In the key 18-49 demographic, it had a strong 4.4, beating American Idol by 0.1.. Here is a little excerpt from medialifemagazine.com: "This may be the summer of Fox’s “American Idol,” but CBS’s third installment of “Big Brother” is quietly emerging as a breakout hit in its own right. “Big Brother 3” not only ranked as the highest-rated show with a 4.4 rating in the adult 18-49 demographic on Wednesday but it beat “American Idol” by one-tenth of a rating point in head-to-head competition. CBS, in fact, was No. 1 in the demo for the night with a 3.3 rating. NBC had a 3.2, Fox had a 3, and ABC had a 2.4, based on preliminary Nielsen data" |
Ryn | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 10:39 pm     Access Hollywood just reported that Big Brother had 10 million viewers last night |
Ryn | Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 10:41 pm     Posted this elsewhere this AM - forgot to get it up here.... Best ratings so far - will be interesting to see if they can beat friends - they WILL beat scrubs again for sure. West wing #'s were 6.3/11 so it was close....
Day | Date | Rating | Share | Place | Wednesday | 07/10 | 6.1 | 11 | 1st (2nd Fox - American Idol) | Thursday | 07/11 | 5.3 | 10 | 2nd (NBC - Friends/Scrubs) | Saturday | 07/13 | 3.6 | 8 | 2nd (Fox - Cops) | Wednesday | 07/17 | 5.8 | 10 | 1st (2nd NBC - West Wing) | Thursday | 07/18 | 5.8 | 10 | 2nd (NBC - Friends/Scrubs) | Saturday | 07/20 | 3.6 | 8 | 2nd (Fox - Cops) | Wednesday | 07/24 | 6.4 | 11 | 1st (2nd NBC - West Wing) | #'s compiled by digging around here: http://tv.zap2it.com/news/dailynielsenrankings.html |
Espen | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 12:25 pm     And yes, they did indeed beat Friends and Scrubs, in both households and the 18-49 demographic. In households, BB3 had a 6.0/11, compared to Friends' 5.9/11 and Scrubs 5.0/9. In the 18-49, it beat the duo by one tenth (Though I don't yet know what the rating was).. Either way, that is the second week in a row where the ratings have either stayed the same or improved every night (not counting the wed after the premiere).. Not bad! |
Ryn | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:13 pm     yup- here is a clip from zap2its site: "At 8 p.m., the eviction of Tonya Paoni on "Big Brother 3" earned a 6.0/11 for CBS. Repeats of "Friends," 5.9/11, and "Scrubs," 5.0/9, put NBC in second." http://tv.zap2it.com/news/dailynielsenrankings.html?27191 |

Sunshinemiss | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 07:59 pm     Thanks for keeping track of all this guys, looks good for a BB4! |
Espen | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 08:06 am     BB3 has now improved over the prior weeks same day rating for *every* show except the wed after the premiere.. This is very promising for the ratings in August and September.. If I remember correctly, (maybe someone can find them in the archives?) the ratings were up in the 7s and 8s by the end of the summer last year, though I seem to recall the other networks doing better.. This year, it sure is doing well in comparison, both in households and 18-49.. |
Earthmother | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 12:30 pm     Do you think it's because Wed. is just recaps? I don't really fall apart if I miss Wed.(even though I really want to see how it's edited) because I already know what has happened. I would die if I missed Thurs or Sat though. |
Espen | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:04 am     Actually, Wednesday has been the highest rated episode (or tied) every week, and according to Zap2it.com today, yesterday's ratings was again 6.4/11, again #1 (though American Idol did have 0.3M more viewers, with 10M, in the half hour they overlap). So no growth on wednesdays this week, but no drop either, so it will be interesting to see if BB can improve on last week's Thursday rating.. We will know later today how it did in the key 18-49 demographic, though I did note with interest that BB3 was #5 (Wed) and #10 (Thu) for the week last week.. Not bad at all! Even in total household ratings, last wed episode was #11, and this week was just as good.. If I recall correctly, in prior years, BB had a hard time making the top 20 for households, though I do think competition is slightly weaker this year.. |

Kaili | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 10:09 am     Yipee...and remember the fear of the show not coming back after the first season?! They have to keep it now!!! Yay!!!! |
Espen | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 11:08 am     Unfortunately, ratings were down slightly this thursday (probably partially because "fans" knew the outcome of the eviction), at 5.7/11.. This was #2 to both Friends and Scrubs, but still not bad, and as good as two weeks ago, and maybe tied with last week after all, given the final figures below. Medialifemagazine.com doesn't have the 18-49 for BB3 specifically, but says it did well, so that is good news. On a side note, apparently ratings do change when they finalize them at the end of each week. Here are the "final" (as opposed to "overnight") ratings for each episode. Note that "share" (the second number) is not available for Thursdays and Saturdays, but it seems to be less variable (since it is only one decimal), from boxofficemojo.com: Wed 7/10: 6.0/11 (9.2M viewers,#1 slot, #14 week)[was 6.1/11, #1] Thu 7/11: 5.1/na (7.6M viewers, #2/#1 slot, #32 week) [was 5.3/10 #2/#1] Sat 7/13: na/na (5.3M viewers, na, na) [was 3.6/8, #2] Wed 7/17: 5.9/10 (8.9M viewers, #1 slot, #17 week) [was 5.8/10, #1] Thu 7/18: 5.3/na (na, na, #2/#1 slot, #29 week)[was 5.8/10, #2/#1] Sat 7/20: na/na (na, na, na) [was 3.6/8, #2] Wed 7/24: 6.6/11 (10.2M viewers, #1 slot, #11 week) [was 6.4/11, #1] Thu 7/25: 5.8/na (na, #2/#1, #22 week) [was 6.0/11, #1] Sat 7/27: 4.0/na (na, na, #58 week) [was 3.9/9, #1] Just looking at Wednesdays (the show that is in the top 20, it looks like BB has added about a million viewers since the premiere.. Not bad.. Ryn, maybe you can replace premliminary numbers with final by indicating them in bold? that way the rating can be updated and indicated even if there was no "final" data on the share.. |
Gadzooks | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 12:42 pm     I'm so thrilled that the show is getting decent ratings.....it makes me anticipate next year's bunch ever more. I'm not thrilled with some of the players this year....but I have settled on rooting for Danielle, Jason, and Marcellas. Hopefully, the ratings will keep going up with the new twists that are coming up. My thought is that Hardy is coming back ....the foreshadowing was very hard to miss on last night's episode. |
