Nielsen Ratings Mon March 24: Youth Demo Loves Britney?

Posted on 25 March 2008 by Robert Seidman

Scoreboard for Mon. March 24, 2008 ABC CBS NBC FOX CW
Total Viewers (million) 16.21 12.51 7.69 6.95 1.32
Rating/Share: Adults 18-49 4.2/11 4.4/11 2.4/6 2.4/6 0.6/2

ABC won the night in terms of viewers averaging almost 4 million more than second place CBS, but CBS won the coveted “youth” of the 18-49 demographic with its comedy lineup and a new episode of CSI: Miami.

ABC would’ve won the demo as well, but The Bachelor: London Calling lost more than half the overall viewers and half of the 18-49 viewers too, allowing CBS a little chest thumping for the night.   In it’s best half hour, Dancing with the Stars had almost 21 million viewers (20.86 million) and a 5.2/13 in the demo.    In its best half hour all a British accent could pull in was 8.94 million which is a lot of people still, but still it lost more than half of the DWTS viewers and dived do a 2.9/7 in the 18-49 demo.  You may remember me as being in the ‘lead-in doesn’t really matter” camp – this didn’t put me off of that any.

Lena Headey as Sarah ConnorWhy the picture of Lena Headey who plays Sarah Connor?  It was another Monday night without Terminator: TSCC for one thing, but I haven’t lost the love for Summer Glau, or Kaley Cuoco , for that matter.  But Britney’s appearance on How I Met Your Mother bested Kaley C. and Big Bang Theory, and I’m not happy about it. 

It kind of bothers me that Britney is more of an 18-49 ratings juggernaut than Kaley.  I’m not surprised — at all, I mean I know more people know who Britney is.  But while not surprised, still bothered.  And while I am willing to stoop pretty low sometimes, I have to draw the line when it comes to posting a picture of Ms. Spears.  I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.  So I’m going with some Sarah Connor loving.

Big Bang drew 8.63 million and a 3.4/10, while a Britney-fueled Mother drew 10.62 million and a 4.5/12 in the Demo.   I think the thing that bothers me most is that it worked well enough where they might want to do it again.  But be humble Britney, the half hour you were guest-starring DWTS had 20.6 million viewers and a 5.0/13.   Also, CBS’ top comedy is Two and a Half Men.  It pulled in 14.25 million and a 5.1/13 in the demo.  Better than Britney.

 CBS dominated the 10pm hour with the return of CSI: Miami drawing over 16 million in its best half hour with a 4.9/13 in the demo.   But I’ll give a shoutout to Medium because when you can do a 3.0/8 in the demo at 10pm on 8.9 million viewers, that’s not too shabby. 

New Amsterdam struggled to hang in for FOX, in its best half hour it did 6.4 million viewers and a 2.1/5 in the demo.  Hopefully bad news for New Amsterdam might be good news for Terminator: TSCC.  FOX came in last for the night, or next to last if you count the CW.

Taking the day off from creating a table, but Travis Yanan posted the half hourly data on Marc Berman’s site and you can find the HH Ratings info from our friends at Zap2it

    Mondays are pretty lame without Sarah Connor. C’mon FOX, give the official word on a second season! Prison Break (which has been terrible for the past season and a half) has been officially renewed today, but Terminator wasn’t. What gives?

    It’s disgraceful to see Britney, who has no singing talent, to “succeed” at acting. She hasn’t proven herself in this bussines yet still attracts viewers. Reminds me of Paris and the Real Life. That’s the problem nowadays. People mistake being a tabloid regular for talent. You mentioned Terminator. Summer Glau has more talent in her little pinkie than Britney will ever have. Sorry for the rant but that’s how I see it.

    Thnaks for NON-picture of Spears… We had already seen ‘too’ much of her a couple of years ago.

    Also not happy with her outdrawing TBBT, but anything that gets people watching the Must CeeBS comedy block works for me. Can’t wait for numbers.

  7. Gary, no need to apologize. I love Summer Glau and someday I will convince Bill how we need a whole category dedictated to her even though it will probably have nothing to do with the metrics of the TV business!

    Gary, I think you are completely right. Yet, people continue to talk s**t about Summers acting in The Sarah Connor Chronicles. On the other hand Ms. Spears is a disgrace to her profession and no one seems to notice because it’s T3H 8R1TNEY OMGOMGOMG!!11oneone.

    How do you know that prison break has been renewed???
    That’s great news if its true.While the third season has not been as good compared to the 1st and 2nd i still think its a great show and would have been upset if it finished with no proper conclusion. Love SCCC too, particularly summer.. Got to bring both back

    Let’s not forget the bigger picture. Sure the Britney thing was a gimmick, but a needed one to gain eyes for the most underrated comedy on TV, HIMYM. Gotta get that 4th season in and the way to do that is to draw ratings. CBS renews Big Bang Theory but leaves HIMYM on the bubble-HIMYM responds with 2 weeks in a row of better numbers. Renew it already CBS.

    Well, my favorite show at the moment would be TSCC but if they used Britney as a gimmick to gain viewers they would lose at least one, me. I have no respect whatsoever for her, she’s a talentless hack IMO. You can claim HIMYM uses her to get ratings but I think it’s the other way around. I used to watch HIMYM but now I’m done with it.

    I love Jason Segel’s acting by the way, ever since Freaks and Geeks.

    Oops, I almost forgot. Robert, you’re not the only bitten by the Summer flu. Did you know the writer of TSCC Josh Friedman wrote the part of Cameron especially for Summer because…you guessed it, he was infatuated with her.

    At first glance I would say New Amsterdam is toast too. But just wanted your opinion on one thing. It seemed that it hung onto almost all of what little lead in from House it got and it was going up against 3 pretty highly rated shows in Deal or no deal, Two and half men, and Dancing.

    Now I love TSCC too and hope it comes back, but does the competition and the House ratings against weaker competition(granted a house repeat) help New Amsterdam’s case at all?

  29. Mark — I’m not enamored with “lead-in”. I don’t buy into it as a useful metric, so how much of it you hang on to (or even how much of it you lose) isn’t especially meaningful to me.

    That said, when your best claim is that you hung on to most of the lead-in of a REPEAT, I don’t see it as a good of a sign as say, outperforming a repeat. Also the House repeat had 8.2 million viewers the last half hour and the first 1/2 hour of NA had 6.4 million.

    I know there was a lot of competition from ABC & CBS between 8p-10p, but even still a repeat on FOX drew almost 2 million more viewers than NA. Perhaps House is a better lead-in for 2.5 Men, even though it’s on another network…

  31. Andrea says:

    I’m very happy about SCC. I also like NA, which seems to have a small, loyal fan base and good DVR -shift numbers (Jericho, anyone?) I’ll be bummed to see it go–it would be a hit on F/X since that network really needs help.

    For the most part, network scripted fare is on the way out. They shouldn’t even bother with pilots since most of these programs get canceled anyway. Stick with the reality and let cable handle the good stuff.

    Robert, if you’re curious, here’s the article about Summer. It’s funny, I just sent this to someone else today too because of this very same part of the interview.

    IGN TV: I’m a big Firefly and Serenity fan, so I’m very familiar with Summer kicking ass. Was she easy to cast having seen her in that?

    Friedman: I love Summer. I tried casting Summer [before]; this was probably four years ago. The last pilot that I did, which never went anywhere, I had hired the same casting agents as Joss [Whedon] had. So they brought Summer in one day, and I fell in love with her. And I tried casting her, but I was in second position to Serenity, the movie. This was right before – Serenity was just starting up. I don’t know if they were sure exactly it was gonna go. And I loved her and I used to carry her audition tape around with me and say “I want Summer Glau,” and they would always say “You can’t have her. She’s gonna do Serenity.” And I was like “Damn you, Joss Whedon!” And then obviously I saw her in Serenity and thought she was perfect in it and always kept her in mind. And like Lena, there was really no second choice. That part is basically written for her.

    As for Britney getting ratings, I think I have to chalk that up to the “train wreck” phenomenon more than anything else. She’s nothing more than tabloid curiosity to so many people now, it’s sad. And I think the networks know this. They’re just that desperate for ratings it seems.

    That said, FOX seriously needs to get a move on with officially renewing Terminator. Prison Break didn’t just get a full season, they’re actually still talking about a spin-off! Yet, Sarah Connor beat Prison Break’s ass every night they were on together. And not that I have anything against New Amsterdam or Canterbury’s Law, I’m sure FOX wants to give them every chance to succeed too, but its becoming apparent that those two shows just don’t seem to be pulling the younger audience like Terminator does. Add in the fact that Summer is just plain amazing and it’s obvious FOX needs to quit waiting around and renew the show.

  39. Nice linking!

    With Terminator 4 scheduled for a May 2009 release, how can they not give us one more season. Seems like there’s just too many promotional opportunities via May sweeps.

    Still, I’m not sure the Terminator movie will really need the promo, and thus far Summer isn’t in the cast (though, who knows!) I do know they have Christian Bale slated in the role of John Connor, and it would ne outrageously cool if they could work Summer in.

    I’m cross my fingest that FOX is holding off announcing the renewal so they can time it to announce Ms. Glau will be appearing in the movie too — I don’t think it’s begun filming yet.

  41. Actually, I don’t think that TSCC would have done measurably better if it were in the same situation as NA currently is… TSCC had a decent lead in and less competition.

    …and before you think that lead-ins don’t matter, there’s a reason FOX previews shows after American Idol.

    …and before you think that lead-ins don't matter, there's a reason FOX previews shows after American Idol.

  43. I think lead-in matters just not very much! but exactly as much as you just said. Sure, even though NA LOST half the lead in from Idol, but that’s still a better lead-in than a rerun of House. But, then these shows don’t stand on their own. But we can pretty much count on one hand all the shows doing a 12.0 HH rating or better, and when you go below that, please show me how much it matters?

    I think FOX did the right thing with NA. Air it twice after Idol and then see if people like it enough to go find it on their own. The answer is they didn’t. I don’t know whether this means FOX needs to anchor shows after Idol longer than two airings or not.

    But I think you’re right about TSCC not doing measurably better in the same situation, but wrong about Prison Break being a measurably better lead-in than a House repeat. The numbers don’t support that.

    Nothing against NA, but last I checked Sarah Connor never got the benefit of Idol lead-ins. Prison Break was a questionable lead-in, and Moment of Truth was a terrible lead-in. Completely incompatible fan bases.

    In fact NA and Sarah Connor probably would have done better if FOX had just paired them both on the same night. At least it’s a similar audience. As it is, I think for next season FOX should seriously consider pairing TSCC with Dollhouse. That way all the Summer/Firefly/Whedon/Buffy/Eliza/Angel/Terminator fans can tune in on the same night.

    Robert, there have been some rumors that if a second season gets the greenlight from FOX, the T4 people want to discuss incorporating some of the series elements into the movie.

    I am HOPING that means Summer gets a part. That would just be incredible.

    Also, the thinking (okay, the rumor) is that since Warner Brothers has a hand in both T4 and SCC, they might make a season two pretty attractive price-wise to FOX, and make it up with DVD sales.

  49. Robert, I agree the bare numbers wouldn’t indicate it as such, but it seems to me that the TYPE of show used as a lead-in, also, possibly matters? Otherwise networks wouldn’t fret so much about how and where they scheduled shows.

    As well, people did go looking for NA after it moved, to Monday, nearly 9 million of them. Then of course DwtS started airing and we’re left with what we see today – which is the same place I think TSCC would be in.

    FrankJ, TSCC got the benefit of following a 37.3 million audience for the last hour of the New York Giants-Dallas Cowboys NFC semifinal. Note that TSCC LOST HALF of the lead in audience, as well.

  51. Indeed, the premiere of TSCC had a huge lead in — but only once, as opposed to New Amsterdam’s twice.

    I think for shows with 20 million viewers or more, the lead-in is important if for no other reason that promoting the lead-out. I think the networks main goal is to establish a routine. In some cases they succeed (CBS Monday, Wed and Thur), ABC, at least when it has DWTS has Sun, Mon, Tue, Thu, etc. There are quite a few days a week though where the networks struggle to create a routine.

    In the new world, I don’t know that they can reasonably expect to more than 3 or 4 days a week.

    Again, lead-in has some value around huge anchor shows. Idol, DWTS, CSI, Grey’s, Desperate Housewives, and I suppose Law & Order. There aren’t many of them.

  53. Gary says:

    Remember the last 2 episodes of TSCC had no lead-in. It was it’s own lead in and those numbers still dwarf NA’s latest numbers. The House repeat gained a lot of viewers in the last half hour yet they vanished like thin air when NA aired. IMO both shows had equal opportunities but TSCC came out on top. Don’t forget the demo in which NA scores considerably lower ratings than TSCC. Ofcourse the quality of both shows should be taken into account. TSCC also wins that easily but that’s a matter of taste, and that is just my opinion. If anything CL is the big victim here. It never had the benefit of an AI lead-in and was doomed from the start. The only hope for NA is the Friday “death slot” right after Bones. Yesterday proved it can’t hold it’s own on a Monday. One last thing, TSCC constantly improved in it’s second half hour while NA seems to be bleeding almost every week.

    btw, Summer fans (which is probably everyone still checking this thread), I just heard that T:SCC and Summer got some worship from a place I never would have expected: CBS.

    The T:TSCC-fandom appears to be coming from all angles these days, the show was featured in the opening dialog of the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory yesterday!

    I’m curious if anyone saw this episode? Robert? You watch that show don’t you?

    I’ve watched it! It was pretty awesome! They actually mentioned Summer! Actually they didn’t but the dialogue goes something like this:

    The scene involved two guys talking about the movies, Miles Dyson and the new Terminator tv show.
    One guy asks why would SkyNet build a petite 17-year-old killer robot, and the other guy responds ‘maybe they are kinky?’ Something like that.

    Oh. LOL! Now I see that there’s a transcript of the scene on MotherOfAllDestiny.com

    ROFL.

    I’m a huge Summer fan so I’m really hoping TSCC gets a season 2 and slams it out of the park.

    Incredible to see how fast TSCC has created such an big fanbase in so little time. Remember, the show is just 9 episodes old with 2 back to back episodes. If Prison Break can get 22 episodes TSCC must also get that number especially since we were deprived of the prospect of a prom containing a Terminator fight sequence.
