So far his interviews and TV appearances have done far better then the recent President (except right after 9-11).

Hey, I'm a huge fan of the show (one of my favorites on televisions). I'm glad to see a forum dedicated to TAR and its ratings as I always look for the fast nationals Monday mornings @ pifeedback.com.
Anyways, Sunday's episode has a 60 Min. with Obama as a lead-in. The last time this happened was on 11/16/08. The line-up has about a half-hour overrun which scored approx. 25.34 million viewers and a 7.7 in the demo. 60 Min. got 25.104 million viewers and a 6.3 in the demo. TAR followed with 12.124 million viewers and a 3.5 in the demo. So, the rentention wasn't great. But, the ratings were good for TAR.
I think this Sunday the rating might be slightly lower for 60 Min. (without the football to help it) say...20 million and a 5.5 in the demo. However, if TAR can either keep doing how it's been doing or push its demo up to a 3.4 or so, it would have better retention.
Anyways, I'm happy that TAR has won its timeslot against orginal Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in their last two head-to-heads. Hopefully, it can keep it up. I think it deserves too.
If TAR is able to keep the ratings its been getting, I think we'll get two cycles. Million Dollar Password's failure in being a demo performer in the timeslot certainly helped.

Hi tg,
Welcome to the forum! :waves: :waves:
There will be an overrun this week in the Eastern half of the country due to the NCAA Tournament so that will help ratings as Obama will definitely raise ratings for 60 Minutes and then the audience will stay for TAR.

CBS will have three games in the 5 p.m. window for the NCAA Tournament. Their projected start times are 4:50 p.m., 5 p.m. and 5:20 p.m.
Each game takes just over 2 hours to complete. CBS will cut into each game so the entire nation sees the finish and then the East and Central time zones will join 60 Minutes in its entirety probably around 7:30 p.m. So expect TAR to start around 8:20 - 8:30 p.m. provided there's not an overtime period.
I get the CBS Sports press releases so I do have their tip times for the Tournament for this weekend. :)
