My grandma was wondering how the Kendra show is doing. Are the ratings still as good? Denise Richards benefiting from the ratings still? Sorry Grandma doesn’t have twitter. Please have mercy for her… you never hear about these show’s ratings after the first episode when everyone is bragging about the ratings. thanks

Tre, The only way you are going to see ratings for ALL TV shows (or even all prime time TV shows) is to pay for it. Nielsen is a business. They do research and interested companies (networks, advertisers, etc.) pay to see the results. They allow some of the information to be published on sites like this, but they do put limits on what can and cannot be made public.

Doing an internet search is not exactly the most helpful way to find some of the shows a lot of people are looking for. At best a search will turn up one or two episodes from the current season, it will show ratings from a previous season, or the numbers will be put in ways that most people do not understand (specifically demo or household numbers instead of total viewers).
I can understand the plight of a lot of people coming here to request their favorite shows. I’ve been closely following ratings for about 10 months now and this is the ony site I know of where it seems like the moderators are the most accessible and accomodating. I go to at least 6 sites (including this one) every week to try to look for the ratings of the shows I follow and still this one is the most reliable.
The folks here try to do their best given that they still have to follow all of these rules about what to release and what not to release.

Well, you have to look around more. This page clearly only shows the top 20’s, so google it and I’m sure you can find the show you’re looking for. I’m kind of annoyed with all of these requests because the show you want is obviously not in the top 20 if it’s not shown in the list.

Try to look around the internet yourself.

I think it’s interesting that Raising the Bar loses more than 1/2 the audience of lead-in The Closer. I remember the same was true last season. Guess Steven Bocchco has a lot of pull at TNT. But you’d think TNT would rather build on the success of The Closer.

I agree iCarly shouldn’t be scheduled that way. This is the first new episode in a month and that’s not good to not show up in the TOP 20. iCarly fans were very confused these past couple of weeks since they scrapped the June 6 episode then promote the boxing movie and not air it. There’s a lot of confusion. They need a steady schedule for iCarly not all over the place.

Scarecrow, I am with you! My favorite channels this summer are cable channels! They have everything and with USA’s hit dramas like In Plain Sight and Criminal Intent and their new one, Royal Pains, which is amazing, I will be sad to see summer end when we have to go back to watching the stuff that the broadcast networks are offering up.

My TV is on USA more than 50% of the time. My favorites are Burn Notice, In Plain Sight, Psych, Monk, NCIS, L&O CI, House, and now Royal Pains. I also watch The Closer, True Blood, Saving Grace, Nurse Jackie, and The Deadliest Catch. I love having a summer season. Nice having something to look forward to after a day in the sun.

Looks like Sundays @ 9p have become very competitive. True Blood (my favorite), L&O:CI, and Lonesome Dove were all in the top 20…

I never saw the 1998 version of Parent Trap since such movies don’t interest me.

However, I DO remember watching the original 1961 movie with Hayley Mills and Maureen O’Hara. Hayley didn’t interest me at my tender age of 12 – I thought she looked like a boy – but Maureen with her flame-red hair and creamy complexion – and built like a brick outhouse – at age 42 at the time – was my first huge crush. I watched every O’Hara movie I could find after that. LOL! In fact, I saw her again in “Only the Lonely” in 1991, at age 71, and she STILL looked good!

As for watching a movie multiple times, on TV or in the theater, I usually do that. You frequently pick up stuff you missed the first time around, if the movie has any “legs”. I’ll see a movie in theater six or seven times if I really like it. It depends, though. Some movies, like the latest Star Trek, I’ll see only once, maybe twice if I have the money.

The Parent Trap always gets great ratings. IT still does. I don’t know how anyone can watch a movie so many times… lol. Tanner I think you can request those Real Housewives of NJ numbers through Twitter… speaking of that, Robert are you taking requests through Twitter still?

Whoa what happened to “iCarly” this week?!?!?!?! I think Nick is making a big mistake by airing new episodes whenever they feel like it. Sure they want a ton of new episodes to go through a quarter of next year, but I think fans are getting restless with the two – three week breaks per episode.

USA is a real beast. All of their original series are hitting well and RP was a surprise last week building off of their hit Burn Notice. In Plain Sight and CI should be able to get back to the 5 million viewer range now that the NBA Finals are over.

Raw has been growing every week ever since Memorial Day. This is Raw’s best chance to get huge audiences until MNF starts back up. Raw with Trump might be high every week as it got a huge 6 million viewers in that 10pm hour last night.

Army Wives is still doing well for Lifetime. Lifetime needs to make a lead-out for it.

Raising in the Bar wasn’t in the top 20 by viewers, (3.568M viewers so basically lost more than 1/2 of the Closer lead-in) but it was #16 by household rating

Daniel, our agreement with Nielsen was to limit lists to the top 20. Lately they have been talking to us about compliance a little bit.

Um…having trouble with your comment posting system…let me try this again…

Hey…I’ve noticed how GSNs ratings have gone up recently. Can you tell me how Deal or No Deal reruns are doing at 7 PM? Plus, with all the horrible reviews for Big Saturday Night, how well did it do in the ratings?
