ABC’s The Bachelorette and Here Come The Newlyweds strengthened their lock on summer Mondays with an overall 2.5 adults 18-49 demo rating, widening their margin over CBS repeats.

NBC’s detour of Great American Road Trip to Monday headed into a ditch, falling to a series low 0.9 18-49 demo rating. But NBC’s objective in the move was achieved. It can’t hurt Tuesday’s America’s Got Talent anymore! At 10pm, Dateline NBC was down a tick in the 18-49 demo from last week.

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.

    Amazing the big bang theory almost did better than two and a half Men in viewers

    The Great american roadtrip is dead

  2. rob says:

    love it when ABC wins every Monday!!!!!

    I hardly doubt Great American Road Trip was hurting Americas Got Talent yet NBC needs that show because its the only popular show on NBC.

    Better Off Ted is new and on tonight and of course ABC did not do any promotion, well i havent seen any. has anyone else?

  3. Shem says:

  7. TheMediaFan says:

    Sunday’s ratings for True Blood, Hung and Entourage are up!

    http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/315206-Cable_Ratings_Entourage_Premiere_More_Than_Doubles_Last_Season_Debut.php
    [quote]With its complete Sunday night lineup now in place, HBO is finding its ratings groove.

    Entourage returned with its sixth season premiere July 12, delivering 3.4 million viewers, its largest audience since May, 2007, when it was following one of the final episodes of The Sopranos. That is also more than double the number of people that tuned into the season five premiere in September 2008, which just delivered 1.6 million viewers.

    The second episode of Hung improved on its series premiere, despite a one week hiatus due to the July 4th holiday. Hung drew 3.6 million viewers, up 29% from the premiere.

    True Blood also posted another series high with 3.9 million viewers. When DVR and on-demand are factored in, True Blood is averaging 10.8 million viewers, up 39% from season one.[/quote]

    -Also premiering in its new timeslot…up against the All-Star Game.

    Go ABC!

  9. Mark says:

    The only repeats doing well on The CW is 90210. Which is good, so maybe it will start out with a bigger audience this fall!

  10. Chief says:

    The Big Bang Theory in repeats has been a quiet success story this summer. Its Season 2 numbers were higher than its Season 1 numbers. And I have no doubt that Season 3 will be even more watched than Season 2. I’m glad more and more people are discovering it.

  11. jay says:

    At least the bachelorette isn’t a blond … but that vapid beauty queen expression on your stock image photo of her tells me she may as well be.

  12. rob says:

    with Big Brother, Americas Got Talent, and a baseball game on tonight, Better Off Ted will probably hit a new low tonight!

  13. Red says:

    Bill, that was the season finale for Newlyweds (didn’t know if you wanted to mark with a ‘(finale)’.

    I can’t tell if those numbers are good enough for a S3 of the show.

  14. Bill Gorman says:

    Red, updated the Newlyweds info. I cannot guess whether it will be renewed or not.

  15. R.G says:

    This year’s Bachelorette is not pretty. :(

    Heck they should’ve let Melissa Rycroft be the Batchlorette this year, I personally believe that would’ve been interesting, plus she’s hot anyways. Too bad she’s engaged now.

  16. Aquat1c F1sh says:

    R.G, I agree, she’s not that pretty. :( I think she’s too “average”.

    Out of curiosity, does anyone know who won Newlyweds?

  17. Jenny says:

    Why is Gossip girl on at 9? is OTH going to be on at 8 pm this yr?
