As almost always seems to be the case, the yammering of the echo chamber that is the Internet doesn’t equate to ratings, and so it was for NBC’s whose streak of winning nights came to an end. FOX led the night with So You Think You Can Dance while NBC’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here took a back seat to So You Think You Can Dance and ABC’s Wipeout. Perhaps with the adults 18-49 ratings under a 2.0, Speidi can now leave happily. Spencer and Heidi fans will claim they didn’t watch because they didn’t think they were still on the show!
NBC still came in second place for the night thanks to the second part of Inside the Obama White House special and the season finale of Law & Order.
ABC’s The Goode Family looked pretty bad at 9:00pm and much worse still at 9:30p. That didn’t help matters for (what I believe was) the season/series finale The Unusuals (oops, the series finale is on 6/17, there are still two episodes to go — thanks to Melissa in the comments for correcting!).
Repeats of Criminal Minds and CSI: NY were, as usual, strong for CBS

Nielsen TV Ratings: ©2009 The Nielsen Company. All Rights Reserved.
Definitions:
Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live football game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.
Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.
Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)
Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs which are currently in approximately 24.4% of all U.S. TV households. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

I was following Twitter’s trending topics much of last night and Wipeout and SYTYCD had more discussions going on than IACGMOOH.
Chief, fair enough, but I didn’t see any blog posts about either of those shows yesterday BEFORE the shows aired, and I saw what seemed like dozens of stories about I’m a Celebrity…
If Denny Terrio isn’t in some nursing home somewhere, maybe we can bring back “Dance Fever” – and it will probably be a ratings HIT!
Oh bummer: I knew NBC would fall to second place; SYTYCD is too strong! Can’t wait for America’s Talent and The CW’s Hitched or Ditched is a “success!”
Goode Family is already dead after its 2nd episode. Déjà vu.
I couldn’t watch Wipeout last night because they wanted to talk about the VA governor’s race. I’m not even voting for any of these people. What a bad break.
NBC had better hope that I’m A Celebrity is close to the floor, because they have a lot of airtime still commited to this show.
Are those 18-34’s for So You Think You Can Dance right? It really did exactly the same 18-34 and 18-49 from 8:30 and only .1 out at 8? That’s really very impressive and if it can maintain those 18-34 viewers in the fall its going to dominate that demo…
Too bad for The Goode Family…both episodes last night were quite good and an improvement over the pilot…hopefully ABC lets it play out its run
Alex, yes, the numbers for SYTYD are correct.
I caught the last 10 minutes of the Goode Family last night and thought that it seemed to be at least OK. Certainly far better than Sit Down, Shut Up. I don’t think it is being promoted very well though. . . or else I don’t watch a whole lot of ABC. It does have a KOTH feel to it. I hope it gets a chance to stick around. I’ll be sure to give it a full look next week.
abc must pull the goode family next week. that numbers hurts my eyes!
What happened to Surviving Suburbia? Was it cancelled?
Im a Celebrity had such an incredibly short shelf life, I have no idea why NBC wanted to burn through it so quick.
Itll be interesting to see if NBC’s lineup today of Celebrity & the Listener can beat the Stanley Cup Finals.
Master Moron-
I read somewhere that they had in fact cancelled Suburbia, but in looking at next week’s schedule, it is supposed to air. I guess we’ll find out next week
MM, Suburbia isn’t on the fall schedule, and has now been pulled from the summer schedule where its episodes were set to be burned off. I can see a small possibility those episodes still get burned off sometime, but there’s no way it’s coming back with newly produced episodes.
I have a question to Robert, Bill or whoever can answer it: What is ABC going to do with The Goode Family?
They could get better ratings with almost any show (yes, even Suburbia), but they have like 10 episodes left…
Dennis, I have no idea. This is a show that has all its episodes in the can, airing in the summer, when ABC (so far at least) has just been getting crushed most nights. They could easily pull it today or let it finish out all its episodes.
The Unusuals is still showing on Comcast as having a couple of weeks to go before their Series Finale on 6/17. Too bad, as the wife and I enjoy the quirkiness of the show…the again, we enjoyed the new Knight Rider too…
me too conman
its gonna be a long summer
only a few bright lights in another wise dark sky..
all on cable
burn notice closer monk etc
Whoa I’m surprised how badly TGF did last night! I watched both episodes and they were OK (although the 9:30 episode was much funnier than the 9pm one). ABC is going to have a rough summer – The Bachelorette isn’t doing too hot, TGF is flopping, Wipeout is luckily doing OK, and this other new show they have coming up (with these actors & athletes) looks like a major flop too (plus its airing against NBC’s AGT…good luck with that).
It just floors me that procedurals’ ratings go up for the second hour. Just goes to show that not only can anybody jump in any given week and know what’s going on; but they can do the same halfway through the ep and know what’s going on.
The Goode Family is one Bad cartoon. I couldnt bare watching it for more than 10 minutes before deciding to watch something off hulu.com
By the way Hulu Desktop is something to try out. It makes great use of my Home Theater PC (HTPC).
NBC’s Inside the White Housw was informative but overall very bland, and made me feel bad on how overworked many of those people are. Our country need to take a lesson from other nations and learn that free time is essential to physical and mental health.
I would love Wipeout if it wasn’t a blatent ripoff of Ninja Warrior, and for some reaons it makes the show a turnoff.
I can’t believe how well Univision does in the ratings, it ight be time to learn some Spanish.
The Can’t Win (CW) Network is doing so poorly I cant wait for the local affiliates/station owners, like Tribune, to cut the cord. The people at the CW cant even create a worth while reality show. When a cable channel can pull more views you need to be think “what the F am I doing wrong?”
wups didn’t know Goode Family was two eps
maybe other people didn’t know either
I can see the Ads now.
NBC…The Network you watch with there’s absolutely nothing else around (Ding-Dong-Ding)
To add my 2 cents to various topics:
The Goode Family – was flogging a dead horse halfway through the pilot. They lost me when they had to explain their son’s heritage for the second time. And it wasn’t funny then either. If ABC want to do something constructive, I suggest they show re-runs of Castle. I’d happily watch them all again and it might convince the network executives at ABC to give Castle a full 22 episode season instead of the half-season it will have in the Fall.
If I was NBC, I wouldn’t be too worried about losing the four day winning streak to a Fox reality show. It’s a sad sign of the times when throwaway television gets higher ratings than scripted shows. However, NBC did give us the new Knight Rider, which lost me when the new KITT turned out to be a transformer. And as for cancelling My Name Is Earl, don’t get me started on that. Bad Karma.
i found nothing on network tv i like i been whacing Re runs of stuff but toinght i will be whacing Burn Notice and Royal Pains
Not much to add to what’a above. Never looked closely before but it seems overall households declines somewhat more in the summer than 18-35 and 18-49. Can it really be the dinosaurs are the ones enjoying the summer in greater numbers while the youths are still glued to TV sets? It won’t be hard to find out.
I agree with a few posts above: The Goode Family was much improved last night – particularly the 9:30 episode (the starved vegan dog and the Grandfather, voiced by Brian Doyle Murray, are the funniest characters). If the rest are like last night’s (as opposed to the awful pilot), it’s a shame it’s going away.
Bill & Master Moron, “Surviving Suburbia” is still scheduled Wednesdays 9:30 ET/PT from July 10-July 1 and then Fridays 9:30 ET/PT starting July 3. Of course everything’s subject to change (it’s been yanked from 3 airdates now), but it looks like it’s at least Surviving Burn-Off.
And “The Goode Family” was MUCH better last night than the premiere. The football episode looked goode, as well. (The first episode looked ugly.) At least the characters weren’t clashing with the backgrounds.
BTW, there are still two more episodes of The Unusuals airing through June 17th: http://www.epguides.com/Unusuals/
Melissa, my bad, indeed the finale is on 6/17 per the official ABC schedule:
http://abc.go.com/primetime/theunusuals/index#navTabId=nextWeek
I will correct.
I’m enjoying the Unusuals. It’s so much better than much of what’s on, a shame abc didn’t have faith in it to keep it around a while longer.
theres nothing good on network television
cables always the best in the summer
Psych, Monk, and GHOST ADVENTURES!!! (only one more day!!!)
Impressive how The Unusuals did better at 10-11 than The Goode Family at 9-10. ABC messed up big time with the way they handled Unusuals, killing it while it was improving. I’m sure whatever they put in its place is going to do worse.
No WIPEOUT in the DC area, the VA Gov race was more important. I am sure it would have been better to show WIPEOUT and not show the GOODE FAMILY!! I hate the ABC Station here!!!
Wipeout rocks ABC’s summer 2009
I’m glad ABC has a hit this summer especially The Bachelorette is doing not great.
The Goode Family has now been moved to a new day and time – Fridays at 8:30 pm
Surviving Suburbia has also been moved to Fridays at 8:00 pm
This change takes into effect on June 12.
I think I can dance!
I don’t even watch “I’m A Celeb…” and just from the previews and talk shows…how annoying that couple is…It should be called: ”
“I’m An Annoying Show…Get Me Off The Air”
Placing the GOODE family against the interviews at the White House is split the audience again. The first week they were opposite some country awards. The need to slot it correctly.
The show is so on target.
