2nd ep. "Amazing Race 13" ratings improve in final analysis
While the early rough estimates indicated the disturbing lack of a football ratings boost for the 2nd episode of "The Amazing Race 13," final same-day ratings indicated that TAR13 received at least a minor boost from the football overrun after all.
The October 5, 2008 airing of TAR13 received a final 3.4 Nielsen rating among same day viewers in the age 18-49 demo, up from the initially reported 3.2 estimate and also up from last week's confirmed 3.2 premiere mark. "The Amazing Race 13" 2nd airing was viewed by 11.0 million people, up from the originally estimated 10.4 million viewers and also up from last week's confirmed 10.0 million count.
"The Amazing Race 13" finished in 18th place among prime-time programs in overall viewership this past week and 16th place among age 25-54 viewers, admittedly helped by a "60 Minutes" lead-in that took 3rd and 10th places by those respective measures. TAR13 did not make the primetime top 25 in the 18-49 demographic.
CBS won the network battles for the week among overall, age 18-49 and age 25-54 viewership with "The Amazing Race" scoring near or above the network average in all those measures. While run #13 still isn't hitting early run #12 ratings levels, the program's long-term place on the CBS lineup seems more secure than it did just a few days ago.

TARAsia Fan:
TAR is pulling in the demos CBS wants 18-49. That's what every network wants.

Boy the ratings were so not that good, last night. Though there were some markets delayed by overruns, I don't foresee a large impact.
Amazing Race in Fast Nationals (again these do change some in finals) had 9.17 million viewers a 2.8 in adults 18-49 and a 2.0 in adults 18-34.
On CBS we barely beat the Unit in total viewers 9.12 to 9.17 million viewers (thats the closest we have been to last in viewers this season). We easily beat the others in the adult 18-34 demo (not a huge factor for CBS they are much more concerned with the 18-49 and 25-54 demos, but hey I'll take anything I can get). We barely beat Cold Case and the Unit in the 18-49 demo. We had a 2.8, Cold Case 2.7, the Unit 2.6, thats the closest we have been this season.
For the fall cycles the viewer total of 9.17 is 2nd lowest we have ever had on a Sunday. The lowest was during Christmas week last season (were far, far fewer people are watching tv in general, so 9 million then was a great rating, here its terrible).
Going back to the typical fall broadcast schedule (which las year wasn't due to its late start), we have to go back to the Family Edition who had one episode lower then 10 million, with 8.8 million.
Thats just awful.
Now the spring cycles for All Stars and season 9 both had ratings lower (but TAR like most of the broadcast schedule does get lower ratings during the spring).
