.... nice

'Amazing Race' keeps climbing

 After the nationals came in yesterday, Sunday night's "The Amazing Race" hit a 3.7 in the adult demo.

So far this season, "Race" has gone from a 2.6 premiere to another 2.6 to a 3.0, 3.1., 3.1, 3.6 and then 3.7. So from the debut to the most recent episode, that's a strikingly steep 42% climb (and compare that to how other seasoned reality shows have trended since their premieres this season).

Now "Race" had some help. Its first couple of Sundays, the show ran headlong into the Oscars and the start of Daylight Savings Time, lowering the expected viewership. And the most recent installment benefited from sports coverage that helped kick start CBS' lineup. But still, nobody is forced to watch a show and "Race" has clearly enjoyed a nice climb.

I didn't eat the nails, Nina did! And that was after drinking a full bottle of antifreeze before dinner! :funny:
I heard Nina tortured Jack Bauer for dessert then rode her bike with flat tires across America... uphill and against the wind.
Just yesterday, Nina flew to Afghanistan, took part in two bombing raids on Al Qaeda strongholds, flew back to Los Angeles and negotiated a new contract with Jeff Probst! :lol:

Not yet....  While certainly they are interviewing, the "upfronts" will not be until May 20, so that is when we can anticipate hearing when/if TAR 15 will be on the fall schedule.

There have been rare occasions when a network will announce a renewal before the network upfronts, but that's why they're rare. CBS' upfronts will be in May when they announce their full fall schedule. We'll know then officially about TAR15 and if they decide for a TAR16. In a normal economy, I would say chances are good, but with budget cuts coming in all CBS divisions, entertainment, news, sports, radio, outdoor advertising, etc., one cycle might be all we get.

Hopefully with more viewership than Survivor, we will go for 18 Seasons!  If the ratings go like this from now on..... which I doubt, but it is still great!

This is amazing! I love the ratings! I just hope it doesn't go back to one 11-episode season next year because CBS is having trouble.

Okay ratings for last night are broken down by half hours.  With Tar starting at 8:38, we are in three different half hour periods.

8:30  10.30 2.8 adults 18-49 (this will be influenced by 8 minutes of 60 minutes)
9:00 10.84 3.0 adults 18-49 (this is all TAR)
9:30 9.64 2.4 adults 18-49  (only 8 minutes of this are TAR).

So I would expect a number 10.5 or better for this weeks rating.

Based on the hits to my blog following last night's episode, I had a feeling the ratings would be good.

TV ratings: CBS Masters Sunday competition
Golf playoff helps the Eye to the top

Zap2It.com

April 13 2009

Fast National ratings for Sunday, April 12, 2009

A sudden-death playoff for the Masters golf championship helped boost CBS to a ratings win on Easter Sunday.

CBS averaged a 6.9 rating/12 share for the night (because of the late-ending live golf coverage, the numbers will change a bit in final nationals). NBC, 4.6/8, finished second in households, but ABC, 4.5/8, brought in more total viewers. FOX came in fourth at 2.3/4, and The CW trailed with a paltry 0.7/1.

CBS also led among adults 18-49 with a 2.9 rating. ABC and NBC tied for second in the advertisers' favorite demographic with a 2.3. FOX averaged 1.8 and The CW only 0.3.

The Masters and "60 Minutes" combined for an 8.4/17 on CBS at 7 p.m. An "America's Funniest Home Videos" rerun, 3.6/7, gave ABC second place in viewers, even though "Dateline NBC" had a slightly higher household rating (3.7/7). Reruns of "American Dad" and "King of the Hill" averaged 1.5/3 for FOX. The CW aired its usual "Jericho" rerun.

CBS stayed on top at 8 with the conclusion of "60 Minutes" and "The Amazing Race," averaging 6.9/12 for the hour. "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," 4.8/8, kept ABC ahead of NBC and "Dateline." Repeats of "The Simpsons," 2.6/5, and "King of the Hill," were fourth for FOX, while the movie "Three Strikes" scored a 0.7/1 for The CW.

The second hour of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," 6.4/10, moved ABC into the top spot at 9. CBS fell to second as "The Amazing Race" and "Cold Case" combined for a 6.1/10. "The Celebrity Apprentice" drew a 4.6/7 for NBC, topping the 2.9/5 average for "Family Guy" and "American Dad" on FOX. The CW's movie improved a little in its second hour.

CBS regained the lead at 10 p.m. as "Cold Case" and "The Unit" averaged 6.4/11. "The Celebrity Apprentice" improved to 5.4/9 for NBC. A "Desperate Housewives" rerun on ABC earned a 3.1/5.

Ratings information is taken from fast national data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are preliminary and subject to change, especially in the case of live telecasts.

Not a bad job of extrapolation, If I do say myself.

Oh and since I didn't do this yet.  We probably wont beat the average rating of last season (but networks expect softer spring ratings, almost all shows perform worse in the spring then in the fall).  What CBS will be looking at is how we compare to the last two times TAR aired in the Spring.

Will We could fall to 9 million each week for the rest of the season and still do better then both season 11 (all Stars) and season 9.

That is huge.  And I think we are very likely getting two cycles (guess) next season.

That would be awesome. I would hope two cycles would be in the offing. Besides, the Sunday night lineup has stabilized since CBS put TAR in.

Final ratings are coming in..

This is all I have so far.

TAR 10.572 million viewers placing 18th for the week. (11th highest for CBS)
3.1 adults 18-49 (an improvement over Fast Nationals and CBS top performer of the night) 24th for the week and 9th for CBS (2 of which were Basketball).
4.1 adults 25-54 (CBS top performer, which just shows how old 60 minutes is)
