TAR 22 Ratings Thread
Plaidmoon:
Here's the final ratings from Sunday April 14th according to zap2it.com. Since I also found the top 25 rankings for 18-49 viewership and total viewership for the week, I'll post those too. The 18-49 numbers were the same as the March 31st episode but the total number of viewers was up 340,000 people. TAR was 18th for the week in 18-49 viewers and 19th in overall viewers. For what it's worth, TAR beat Survivor in total viewers but Survivor was several places ahead of TAR among 18-49 viewership.
I feel dumb because I called up the weekly numbers for the week including April 7th and TAR wasn't in the Top 25. I was a bit shocked and it took me a couple of minutes to remember that TAR hadn't aired because of the Country Music Awards show. :groan:

Unless it gets adjusted up by 0.3, this might go down as the lowest-rated finale ever.
Does this season have the lowest 18-49 rating in franchise history? TAR22 seemed to max out with an ~2.5 18-49 Rating.
Plaidmoon:
Slayton, thanks for reminding me about the ratings. I've been meaning to catch up and hadn't done it. Good thing I checked now, because the April 21st ratings were at the bottom of the archive at zap2it.com and probably would have been dropped later today.
TAR did well this week, finishing 10th in the 18-49 ratings and 14th in overall total viewers.

For the April 28th show (Edinburgh), TAR slipped a little bit in the ratings and finished 14th among 18-49 viewers and 18th in total viewership. Their actual numbers were down slightly in 18-49 and up in total viewers, but other shows improved more, so TAR shifted down a few notches.

Plaidmoon:
As Slayton as already pointed out, the ratings for the finale weren't all that we could have hoped for. TAR finished 18th among 18-49 viewers and 21st among total overall viewership. I'm a little surprised at this given the way the rest of the season went. I saw something on Monday morning that said TAR was hurt by the NASCAR race running long on FOX, but I haven't seen it mentioned since then. Since we are frequently helped in the fall by NFL games running long, I guess it makes sense that an overrun on another network might hurt TAR. While this may have been one of our weakest showings this season, it would have been about average for the fall as I remember it. Overall TAR has had a good season in my opinion. Slayton, you're right, the raw viewership numbers are down this season compared to past seasons, but that has been true across the board for just about all shows. TAR has actually improved in the ratings over past seasons because other shows have declined more than TAR and TAR has moved up. I don't think TAR is in any danger of being cancelled, but if the network wide viewership decrease continues, I imagine CBS will eventually have to cut what it pays World Race Productions to make TAR. Maybe WRP will find other sources of revenue to maintain the budget, maybe they will be forced to cut costs. Time will tell.
Your concerns have been addressed a couple of times in this thread earlier this season by people who know more about it than me. You might want to scroll back to the beginning and read it for reassurance.
