I don’t understand how is OTH doesn’t have a higher rating.THe show has the drama viewers like,and it’s deep.It has a message and quality,and the cast is good.
I really don’t understand why is Dancing with the Stars so popular :O
And Gossip girl is fine,nth special,but it’s fun to watch,though the newer episodes are slightly less dynamic and interesting than the first ones.

Hey I love Two and a Half Men, and it says it had 13 million viewers?? They aired CSI Miami last monday 4/21/08 instead of Two and a Half Men here in Chicago.

Nobody I know watches Gossip Girl wonder why its still on the air! In fact nobody I know watches ANY CW show – amazing they manage to stay afloat.

Jon, re: PTI. While Robert and I can barely stand to miss a single show, I have never met anyone else who’d even heard of it. Not that I’ve asked that many

DeeJay -

Gossip Girl is extremely ‘clicquie’ – I don’t mean that in a bad way.

I bought the show on TVBS against all odds this week… but if you like the show (I saw 10 mins of it once), you know tons of people who also like it (I don’t know those kinds of people – ask anyone). It’s one of ‘those’ shows.

I’ve had a number of ‘those’ shows (like PTI???) that is an acquired, lonely, taste-type show. that you either like. as do your friends, or you’re out on an island with it.

C’est la vie.

I surrender the fight over TBBT, obviously it won’t pull the ratings down I think it should. Hopefully those numbers are enough to bring it back, that’s all I really care about. Although if HIMYM is on the bubble with it’s ratings….sigh.

With the numbers of House and Bones…is it safe to finally stick a fork in New Amsterdam? I assume most have already but was just curious.

All my friends watch it, although I know a lot of the time we watch it online, that wont change now because we can still get it on other websites

DeeJay, New show, yes. Growing network, not so much.

I just don’t get it. So many people I know watch GG. You would think the ratings would be higher than that. Well its a new show on a growing network. Hopefully the ratings will go up.

Jon, it’s risky to make such comparisons without the half hourly data for those other shows (and DWTS and Gossip Girl, for that matter!), which unfortunately we don’t have

But that said, I don’t think the numbers for TBBT are *bad*, but nor are they stellar.

Compare these numbers and Big Bang doesn’t have nearly as bad a rating as we might think:

CBS Big Bang Theory 7.51 2.9/8 4.6
NBC Deal or No Deal 10.02 2.6/7 6.2
FOX Bones 8.64 2.7/7 5.8

the 18/49 and Share numbers are very good compared to more widely viewed competitors

I didn’t give GG the love I should’ve, and I was wrong. Hopefully this makes up for it at least a little:
