Comments on: Early Ratings for Sunday, September 14 http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/09/15/early-ratings-for-sunday-september-14/5103 Nielsen TV Show Ratings, Data and More Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:24:22 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Robert Seidman http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/09/15/early-ratings-for-sunday-september-14/5103#comment-22884 Robert Seidman Mon, 15 Sep 2008 16:15:51 +0000 http://tvbythenumbers.com/?p=5103#comment-22884 Paul, hmmm I show it having 5.9 million in its BEST half hour (9p-9:30). I have it averaging 5.6985 million between 8p-10p, but that's still not bad for a repeat. Of course we can't meausre how many people watched it both Tuesday *and* Sunday. *Moreover* it had pretty respectable numbers among 18-49 year olds, even in repeats it outperformed everything besides Sunday Night Football and Big Brother in the demo (though a repeat of Extreme Makeover tied it in the demo at 8pm). And the Fringe repeat was behind only NFL (and Big Brother in the 8pm hour) among 18-34 year olds. I'm pretty sure either way that this Tuesday it will perform better than it did in its premiere...

Hope that makes sense. Fun time to be a Phillies fan...

My friend watched the encore, and I think it was with limited commercial interruption. I believe FOX had a football overrun, which may account for the difference in time for Fringe.

Does that affect the ratings? It was a last minute thing to air the game, the guide had the repeats scheduled.
