AR #12 Ratings
theschnauzers:
A point or two about TAR's ratings averages. The Nielsen weekly ratings don't really include much of the DVR time-shifted viewing any more than the overnights do; which is a problem trying to use those weekly ratings to compute the season's average.
DVR penitration is now estimated to be 20 % of the audience. At the beginning of the season, CBS was giving some number folding in the DVR-within-3-days viewers, but that doesn't help figure out the averages because the weekly numbers come out on Tuesday, which hasn;t already been three days.
CBS did mention an average audience for TAR appropaching 12 million at one point earlier this season (I think it was Thanksgiving weeked, if I recall correctly. The AP list of the Top 20 shows this week also included the placing of the listed shows for the season to date, and TAR was 24th (keep in mind that the listing would include shows that started their season after TAR did, and include shows that ended their seasons before TAR will,
From what I've seen t TAR 12 average numbers (with the DVR viewers included should be placing it only behind season 7 in the season average for viewers. Looking at it a different way, TAR has finished in the top 30 every week, has finished in the top 20 in 7 of the 9 weeks, and finished in the top 10 twice, IIRC. On that alone, TAR is having one of its best seasons ratings-wise.

Let me add another big time welcome. :waves:
Years and races ago when I was a newbie, two posters, at TWOP and RFF didn't make fun of me when I first posted on TWoP and here, theschnauzers and Puddin. For them to post back to back is something else. A sincere thanks to the both of you.
Back on Topic. Thanks a bunch to mswoods' post and the others.
This season is doing great like season 10, but the football overruns have a lot to do to it.
No matter have you feel about Boston Rob and Amber, Race 7 is still the gold standard.
And, Chip McAllister from Race 5 is still the Franchise. His and Kim's trial's and tribulations against Colin and Christie were great TV and saved the Amazing Race franchise from cancellation. I'm still disappointed that they were not selected for All-Stars.
