Well Friday's ratings are in...BB4 finished 3rd in the timeslot, however that seems to be an anomaly. NBC had a special 2-hour "Dateline" with the other POW's in Jessica Lynch's squad from 8-10....I do want ot see the 18-49's, however.


from zap2it...

NBC began its nightly sweep at 8 p.m. as the first hour of "Dateline" averaged a 5.2/11. ABC was second with a 5.1/11 for "America's Funniest Home Videos." CBS was third with the 4.8/10 for "Big Brother 4"...

from the link in my last post....

Among adults 18-49, the race was a bit closer, but the results stayed the same. NBC led the way with a 2.4 rating, followed by ABC's 2.2 in the coveted demo. CBS took third with a 2.1 and FOX was well back with a 1.5.

I agree that its a bit of a fluke given the programming it was against - and they took 1st for 2 nights - not bad.

Big Brother took some amazing leaps in the ratings last week. Wednesday night's show was the 10th most watches show of the week (up from #12 the week before). The Tuesday night snow was #17 (it was #24 the week before). The Friday night show was #27 (it was #58 the week before).
What do you make of these ratings increases. Is it that the competition was not that strong last week?
Is there a website that charts the ratings week to week?
I remember there was such a site last year but I can't find it.

Crap! I want it to get bad ratings to teach ALsion a lesson not to mess with the format again!! Now they will think the X factor was a good thing!

Perhaps Friday's was better because for the first time in the NY area there wasn't a Yankess game pre-empting BB till the game was over.

Pamy-- exactly right.. this should put to rest the "This will be the last season" worries-- if anything, if it starts hitting the Top 10, they will do many, many more BB's, not less.

The problem is, Arnie's gonna continue to ruin the show, seeing this as vindication that the fans are all wrong and he knows the One True Path.

(Seriously, who is WATCHING this year? I know of nobody at all besides me and my parents.) I will say the TV episodes this year have been quite well edited; the feeds are insanely boring. Kind of a flip from normal.

Justin -
I watch and this makes my DH and 2 children watch by default, although DH and kids are usually playing around and not even remotely paying attention to the show. I was just telling a friend of mine about how the feeds are boring this year and the edited show better than past years!!! So, glad to see you agree with me!

Justin and Justareader, I was watching the show the other night. I thought when does all this funny stuff happen? Everytime I turn on the feeds,they're either asleep or just laying around saying nothing!

from zap2it....another season high...

CBS began the night well in front, as "Big Brother 4" drew a 6.5/12 to capture the 8 p.m. hour and rank as the night's most watched program. FOX took second as "American Juniors" unveiled the final bandmember and drew a 4.6/8.

Sorry to burst AS&Co.'s bubble, but Tuesday's ratings were likely skewed higher since Dog Eat Dog was preempted on NBC at 8:00 pm ET/PT for the Miss Teen USA Pageant.

R151996, Dog Eat Dog has finished their run for the summer, at least as far as new episodes are concerned. There's a new Shania Twain concert special on next Tuesday, and then a DED repeat the following week.

Wednesdays ratings were the best again for the season...from zap2it...

"Big Brother 4" improved some on its lead-in to finish at 6.6/12 for CBS at 9 p.m. FOX moved up to second with "Paradise Hotel," 4.3/8, and a repeat of "The West Wing" on NBC was third at 3.8/7.

zap 2 it didn't have Saturday numbers, these are from The Futon Critic....

"Big Brother 4" (S, CBS) - 4.5
"Cops" (R, FOX, two episodes) - 4.0

and that number is actually above what Saturday shows were getting last season....

Zap2it.com has posted their numbers...strange they are different than futon critic's numbers.

"CBS won at 8 p.m. with the night's highest rated show, "Big Brother 4," which landed a 5.0/11 for the hour. Two episodes of "COPS" on FOX averaged a 3.9/8 for second. ABC was third as the beginning of "Mission to Mars" scored a 3.1/7, beating two episodes of "Just Shoot Me" on NBC."

They said the numbers are really subject to change more than usual due to the blackout.

Sherball - zap2it uses the "fast overnight" numbers I think - futon may use more "complete" numbers.

Hows Mom btw??

Big Brother 4" kept CBS on top at 9 p.m. with a 6.5/11. A second "George Lopez" and "The Drew Carey Show" on ABC tied for second with NBC's "West Wing" rerun at 4.9/8...

Saturday night (zap2it)

At 8 p.m., CBS got a 5.1/11 for "Big Brother 4," making it the night's highest rated program. ABC's baseball and FOX's double bill of "COPS" were neck-and-neck for second with ABC at 3.4/7 and FOX just under that. NBC was fourth with the network's fall preview and the beginning of a special 90-minute "Fear Factor."
