Ratings for Episode #4
With a very extended football overrun, this is how the ratings turned out (according to Fast Nationals).
CBS averaged 15.39 million viewers and a 4.3 in adults 18-49.
Football overrun scored 21.59 million viewers and a 6.5 in adults
60 minutes 15.52 million viewers and a 4.0 in adults
Amazing Race 12.17 million viewers and a 3.6 in adults
Cold Case & Shark are measured on Fast Nationals as one show with an average of 12.28 million viewers and 3.1 in adults.
Based on this AR did quite well in total viewers (but will easily be beaten by Cold Case and 60 minutes when final ratings come out). Shark will most likely be lower.
In demo, AR will actually be beat by 60 minutes and very possible by Cold Case. But unlike its usually 8pm competition it faced against 2 shows that score exceptionally well with adults 18-49 (Football on NBC 7.5 and Desperate Housewives 6.9). Usually with overruns at worse AR only competes with them for half an hour, last night it was on against them for the full hour.
mswood:
And for some comparison to AR last year.
Average for the 1st 4 episodes this season 12.06 million viewers
Last year for the 1st 4 episodes that season 10.65 million viewers
But last year started earlier so here lets compare the average of the same weeks (November 07 to 06)
2007 (again) is 12.06 million viewers
2006 is 11.26 million viewers.
So in total viewers the show is a significant improvement (so far) to season 10. And a much larger improvement over All Stars.
Oh and last year same week the show got 10.37 million viewers (final numbers) compared to this weeks preliminary 12.17 million viewers.
TARAsia Fan:
And it did reasonably well against Sunday Night Football which was surprisingly competitive and had its best overnight ratings ever.
TAR finished 3rd in its timeslot, but very well in 18-49.
