Russell, if there is the equivalent of the preliminary overnight data we use for the broadcast networks for the cable networks, I’ve never seen it and I’m not sure such comprehensive *preliminary* overnight reporting for cable networks even exists.

Outside of press releases issued later in the day by the cable networks themselves, we only regularly see cable data for shows on a weekly basis.

My family and I were watching the MONK & PSYCH holiday episodes. Nothing else interested us. Wish we could see the ratings for those on USA.

How well each rerun does is interesting to me.

WED, I’m not sure where you saw a 3.2 for GW, but we report 18-49 ratings and viewer numbers, not “household ratings”.

If Ghost Whisperer was pulling better than a 3.0 among 18-49 year olds in a rerun on a Friday, Jennifer Love Hewitt is going to wind up making a LOT more money than she currently makes.

Can somebody confirm that the Polar Express was what ABC showed last night? I was flipping through and there was some movie on ABC that didn’t look like it (I thought the whole thing was animated) though the guide said it was The Polar Express as well. Any thoughts as to what happened or am I just dillusional?

How come in other places they said Ghost Whisperer got a 3.2 at 8:00 pm or at 9:00 pm then here it says other numbers.

@^&!

Numb3rs was a repeat, and I found (and inserted) the missing word. The missing period remains elusive though.

Was Numb3rs repeat or not? You seem to imply it is in the commentary, but it’s not designated as a repeat in the list. And you forgot a period. And a word. (I will now have to email you about every little mistake here!)

Fin, indeed I’d originally left it with last Friday’s sort order. But then I corrected it, but the change still might not have been visible due to the way we have caching running on our site. Since we’re not very busy today, I’ve deleted the cache entirely and the table should display properly for everyone.

No wait you’ve mixed ABC and CBS on the scoreboard…

Don’t you mean CBS?
