DSM up to 7m + 23.7% increase ahead of PP. Sucks nobody watched live,

Maybe ABC will mull it over and realize nothing is gonna work for them @10pm except a DWTS recap of the recap

[...] Just like the top BitTorrented movies, the top DVRd broadcast shows are pretty much the same for the week of Nov. 3 – 9 as they have been for the past few weeks, with Patrick Dempsey’s perfect hair and his Grey’s Anatomy crew of dirty doctors topping the chart, according to TV by the Numbers.

Tom, Robert is correct, the show by show Live+7 “season to date” data isn’t made available to us. We do see “Most Current” season to date data which lumps Live+SD and Live+7 data together in a way that’s not comparable to straight Live+7 numbers.

As to why we don’t post it, Robert is again correct, it’s not worth the small traffic. However, you can review the past weekly lists and get a very good idea of which shows are “most DVR viewed”. In fact, the list varies so little from week to week, practically any one week’s top 5 are likely to be near the top for the season (as long as you take into account off weeks).

Tom, the info is only published weekly. We don’t do season-to-date posts — even if we had the data available to us easily (we don’t), I’m not sure it would be worth it based on interest.

Bill, can you help me with something.
I’ve looked all over the site for the 2007-2008 most DVR viewed shows and a season to date most DVR viewed shows. I can’t find neither, if they do exist.

WOW @ how many people will DVDR Boston Legal, obviously some people are attached to it. It almost struck me as a show that brought its own audience anywhere, so seems like an odd move that ABC wasted a post-DWTS (now post-SW?) slot on a show they were done with, weren’t promoting and that would have basically done the same numbers or close anywhere else on the schedule.

I thought 90210 was on The CW, why does it say NBC’s 90210?

Not surprised to see Smallville & Supernatural on the list every week. They are on a really tough night. CW should really appreciate these shows more considering they are in the top rated shows on that network.

I fretted for a moment because I didn’t see Chuck or Heroes on the list…but then I looked at the week; no Heroes or Chuck due to SNL special!

Thanks for taking the time to do these lists guys. I hate that you pick on my Heroes, but you guys know your stuff.

Nichole, it’s a good question, not a silly one! But, the answer is sadly “no”. Once something moves out of its normal time slot in a local market, it is gone from the national numbers we have access to. That’s not limited to the CW. I find it unfortunate, but it is at least applied fairly to all networks.

The week the Jets played the Patriots on Thursday it premempted the CW lineup in New York and the ABC lineup in Boston. When those programs aired over the weekend in the local markets they were certainly measured (and I’m sure the networks saw the totals) but the numbers were not added back into the national totals, including the numbers above.

So silly ? but do these numbers include preemption watching at a later date? For example, November 6th Supernatural and Smallville was preempted in Denver for football but was on Saturday. So does that get counted in this total?

Not a lot of 10 PM shows on the absolute time-shifting list. Do you have the numbers for CSI:NY? Thanks.
