I seriously hope that Rep. Peter King was not watching TV this afternoon

Daytime, they were delayed, likely because of the holiday. I just posted them.

Although to be clear, all the numbers on our site, and anywhere else not specifically talking about longer term DVR viewing are Live+Same Day ratings which take into account viewing prior to 3am the following day. In most cases that includes between 40-60% of the 7 day DVR viewing for typical shows. Even Friday shows typically have about 30% of their DVR viewing done during the "Same Day" period before 3am. To your question about The Goode Family, some Friday shows last season had very high rates of DVR viewing, but we never saw any Live+7 numbers for The Goode Family before our source took a break for the summer. Could it match the 43% 18-49 demo increase [from Live to Live+7] from DVR viewing that Friday Night Lights had? I'd guess that was unlikely. I think something in the 20-40% demo increase [from Live to Live+7] is much more likely to be the case.

Highly, make no mistake, the people who pay to receive Live+7 viewing numbers are still getting them on the same schedule now as during the “regular” season. It’s unlikely we will see them again from our source until September, but I’m fine with that. Even a numbers guy like me finds it difficult to be interested in Live+7 numbers for summer shows.

Bill, do you know when DVR numbers become available for summer viewing? I gotta believe that The Goode Family numbers are stronger than what is being reported, as most viewers seem to watch via Tivo/DVR, especially on a Friday night.
The last mention of DVR numbers released that I can find was for Dollhouse back in May – in this day and age we should be able to access and evaluate viable that data fairly quickly. Or maybe the Nielsen intern in charge of DVR reporting is off for the summer?

last night i taped 2 shows surviving suburubia, and the goode family. SS was a repeat but i still watched cause i loved that episode the first time i saw it. The goode family this week was pretty good. I’ve seen every single episode of survvivng suburubia ad the goode family so far, idk y so many people hate both those shows they are both pretty good, in myopinion anyway. Mental i kind’ve gave up on i watched thew 1st 4 episodes and i missed he last 2 and i just got bored and tired of it, because it was basically the same plot at the end every week and it was hust really tiring for me.

I watched Ghost Whisperer and Privelegded. The Goode Family is horrible.

Looks like a night of no one watching TV.

Everybody was either at the movies, or at the mall.

Wow, it looks like the move to Fridays may have affected Mental a little bit, but still a strong posting for a Friday at 9pm. The Goode Family is still hanging in there with its loyal 1.5 million viewers. God bless us loyal Mike Judge fans!

Andrea, while we have no idea what happened to all those pages, they have been recreated and are working again.

By: Bill Gorman

Bill Gorman — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 02:05:41 +0000

Andrea, same here. Not sure what has happened. I may or may not be able to figure it out, or I may need to wait for Robert’s return.
Hmm, all the pages (the things linked in the blue nav bar) are coming up blank. Not sure what it is.

Update: Pages now working again.
