Billhere | Tuesday, September 30, 2003 - 12:58 pm     AS doesn't recognize BB1. To Arnold it was a BS (Before Shapiro) show which he consistently ignores. |
R151996 | Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 12:11 pm     Arnie has to ignore BB1 to hide his lies that ratings have significantly improved over BB1. A BB1 Wednesday show that aired against the 2000 Olympics drew a 6.6 rating. SIX of this year's live Wednesday eviction shows drew ratings lower than 6.6. The top-rated BB4 episodes were never near what the top-rated BB1 shows drew. |

Ryn | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 08:09 am     I don't understand the seeming hostility... We (here at tvch) didn't track the ratings for BB1 - but for what its worth... BB4 had 33 shows.... 19 1st place (most during August) 10 2nd place (most during July) 4 3rd place* (3 in september) *one 3rd was when it was against the John Ritter memorial special and another was against a dateline episode about Jessica Lynch. I blame CBS in part for the weak way BB ended in the ratings - by adding a week to the show they made it drag out. But - I also feel it was the result of a lame final 3. I am not a "fan" or Arnie - but I am a fan of BB - Just checked the number on BB3... 27 episodes - 2 were 2 hour and had different ratings for each hour - so I will count them as individual - for a total of 29 episodes... 19 1st place 10 2nd place funny - I didn't know how the numbers matched up until I just did that. So the extra week hurt BB more than helped it imho. But overall it did just as well this year as last. Its hard to compare the ratings from BB1 because it was on 5 nights a week and if I remember right some nights it was only on for 30 minutes (actually I think that was every night except eviction nights). Oh - one more thing - the nights BB placed 3rd it had these ratings - 4.8 (a friday vs Dateline), 6.4 (Tues vs John Ritter), 4.8 (friday vs dateline - this was the 2nd to last show that was worthless imho), 7.0 (Final show vs West Wing and the Cupid premire I think). Probably too much info - but all the ratings are compiled in the Ratings thread HERE. |
Eeyoreslament | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 10:25 am     What I find particularly amazing is that as the characters become more vile and dramatic....the show went up in ratings. I guess that explains why unbelievable shows like Jerry Springer and Jenny Jones stay on the air. That's what America LIKES! Well, I'm up in Canada, and just got the digital cable. Hopefully channels like BookTV and the BBC can prevent my brain from turning into sensationalized MUSH. hahaha. However, if there was a TV show showing the blood and gore of my sensationalized mushy brain, I bet it would get GREAT ratings. |
Monalisahi | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 10:31 am     Ryn, just a correction.....it wasn't Cupid, it was BOB, THE BACHELOR!!! |
R151996 | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 11:24 am     Ryn, I found the BB1 ratings in the "Weekly Neilsen Ratings" thread of the Big Brother 2000 archives on this site. The Friday night BB1 finale that aired opposite the Olympics drew a 7.2 rating/13 share. The last Wednesday eviction prior to the Olympics (Cassandra's eviction) drew a 7.9 rating. There were no other share numbers posted in those archives, but some BB1 episodes (helped from the Survivor lead-in) drew 10+ ratings. The highest BB4 ratings figure was a 7.2. The highest share figure for any BB4 episode was a 12. |
R151996 | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 11:56 am     I did find two other peak ratings/share numbers posted in the wrap-up story on BB1: 10.8 rating/18 share was the best for a BB1 live eviction episode with a Survivor lead-in. 7.9 rating/15 share was the best for a Friday BB1 episode. |
Demeter | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 12:22 pm     I recall how the BB1 houseguests would talk about the ratings (Jamie in particular) and they were sure the ratings were 17 to 30...and in actuality they were lower and Survivor (which also debuted that summer) was indeed getting those higher ratings that year. Still, a very respectable showing. However, I'm curious about the major networks overall ratings. I'm guessing that over the past few years, they have been dropping (probably slowly) compared to previous years as the cable networks gradually take up more of the slack. |
Beruthiel | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 05:22 pm     There was a short article in my local paper earlier this week about the ratings for all of the new shows, and returning older shows, on the regular networks over the last couple of weeks, and the ratings are way down-even the popular shows are down a lot, it was an eye-opener. Eeyore, I've had digital since the beginning, and BBC Canada is great, but they do a lot of repeating - this season they are running a lot of old reruns of stuff from HGTV like Home to Go, Room Service, etc. and the original Changing Rooms and Ground Force have a few new episodes then months of repeats. I still wouldn't cancel though, it's got great dramas, except that even some of those I've seen before on PBS or Showcase, and Eastenders is over a year behind the UK's episodes. I still wouldn't cancel, LOL! |
Onlyhuman | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 05:34 pm     Jokers has a picture of the "Yes, Dear" BB HMs here. Evidently, both Amy & Marcellas will soon have more info/pictures on their websites. I must say that Justin looks like he could be crushed by Hardy and Roddy. You can all thank the Giants for these links, since they have managed to send me into severe stress by blowing the game today! |
Bigsister | Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 07:15 am     On the Reality TV series on Bravo recently, Arnold Shapiro was interviewed. He said (Paraphrasing) that the first season of Big Brother in America was the same format as the Eurpoean version. Although it had been a raving success in Europe, the American audience did not go for it. He said the next year they did so many things differently that only three things remained the same: The Title/Logo, the house, and Julie Chen. Everything else was new, and according to Arnold, more to the liking of American audiences, thus earning better ratings than the original. |
Eeyoreslament | Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 09:48 am     Mmmmm...good picture onlyhuman.....now I'm picturing eating myself up some Hardy-Justin-Roddy sandwich for breakfast....with a little Evil Doctor for dessert. My ex was a wrestler, and I know for a fact that most wrestlers could beat non-wrestling bigger guys hands down, just on technique. Go Justin!! OOOPS!! I was getting a little off topic there!! forgive me!! Thx Beruthiel for the BBC heads up. I have my "every channel free" month going on right now....so I'll definitely give it a whirl. I love British comedies like Fawlty Towers!! John Cleese is a genius. |
Hamsterlady | Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 10:54 am     Thanks Only for the wonderful link! I don't usually watch that show but I definitely won't be missing this one! Yummmmmmm....Roddy, Hardy, and Nathan! Oh my! hehehe |
R151996 | Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 11:56 am     Here is a ratings comparison of the 4 BB finales: BB1--Friday vs Olympics--7.2/13 BB2--Thursday after Bush address to Congress--7.8/13 BB3--Wednesday--8.0/12 BB4--Wednesday--7.2/12 (highest rating/share of season) Overall ratings may have improved slightly from BB1 since the later BBs haven't had six nights a week. Arnie can talk all he wants but the numbers are not as rosy for BB2-4 over BB1 as he wants to believe. The peak ratings numbers from BB1 still compare very favorably to later series. Amy's second eviction in BB3 generated a 9.3/15 with a Survivor lead-in, far short of the 10.8/18 peak that BB1 had with a Survivor lead-in. |
Sunrvrose | Saturday, October 04, 2003 - 11:59 am     Does anyone know when it will air? Or has it even been filmed yet? |
Onlyhuman | Sunday, October 05, 2003 - 12:17 pm     Sunrvrose, I heard a rumor somewhere (and I can't for the life of me remember where it was) that it will air Oct 20th but I've also heard that it will air the 27th. Eeyoreslament, that Hardy-Justin-Roddy sandwich imagery is now forever embedded in my brain. I don't know whether to thank you or hurt you!  |
Sunrvrose | Sunday, October 05, 2003 - 03:34 pm     Thanks Onlyhuman. |
R151996 | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 12:56 am     Yes, Dear's Big Brother episode will air on Monday, October 20 according to this description on the CBS "Yes, Dear" site. http://www.cbs.com/primetime/yes_dear/ Monday, October 20, 8PM ET/PT "Big Brother-in-Law" When Jimmy is chosen to be on the hit reality show BIG BROTHER, the family is completely supportive, especially Greg, who hopes that if Jimmy wins, he and Christine will finally move out of the guest house. But when they see the other houseguests forming an alliance against Jimmy on the live telecast, Greg panics winds up ruining Jimmy’s master plan to win the game. Julie Chen (BIG BROTHER and THE EARLY SHOW) and Robert Klein ("Two Weeks Notice") guest star as themselves. Several former BIG BROTHER contestants also make appearances. |
Naja | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 06:54 am     You know what's funny? I really thought all these sit-coms and other shows were made and in the can a few months at least before they aired. I had no idea some had to cut it this close. |
