I thought the biggest issue with "Without a Trace" was the expense of the show.

Well as we all know, when she saw how badly Jay Leno did, Nina celebrated by karate kicking her windows out in her office with her bare feet and never bled once.

And when NCIS: Los Angeles won Tuesday night, Nina went to a biker bar, punched out several members of the Hells Angels, took their choppers, rode to Malibu and flung the motorcycles into the ocean.

She's that tough.

She did bleed - but her blood is acid which she sprayed on any witnesses to instantly dissolve them.

mswood · « **Reply #91 on:** November 01, 2009, 05:38:43 PM »

Just to brace people for the bad news come monday. Expect really low ratings for tonights episode. Not only do we have football opposite us on Fox, but the World Series on Fox (which so far is performing really well in the ratings (well not Saturday, but nothing does well on Saturday). Plus the normal competition on ABC.

So I expect low 9 million viewers and a 2.8 or lower in the demo.

But last week I expected bad results and lord we got season high in viewers and demos....

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #92 on:** November 01, 2009, 08:43:53 PM »

No Sunday Night Football game tonight, but Fox has that ultimate sports NFL doubleheader and World Series. I expect 18-49 to go to Fox big time.

Overall numbers might not be too bad.

mswood · « **Reply #93 on:** November 01, 2009, 08:53:38 PM »

Damn, no night game tonight? That surprises me, I just assumed. But yeah I know Fox is pushing hard with GB and Favre and then for the World series.

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #94 on:** November 01, 2009, 08:54:35 PM »

Usually, NFL does not have a game opposite the World Series.

theschnauzers · « **Reply #95 on:** November 01, 2009, 08:55:41 PM »

There's one other factor to throw in. Historically, TAR has done better when clocks are on standard time (and sunset is well before air time.) The time change was last night, and it was dark here by 6pm.

There's all sorts of viewing patterns that may come into play. Some folks don't rush to watch the World Series (if they're a couple of innings late they don't care, and TAR will be over by the third inning. So who knows?

Bad ratings would be a shame...this was a GREAT episode.

mswood · « **Reply #97 on:** November 01, 2009, 09:06:45 PM »

Here's hoping that the game becomes more one sided before it hits 8pm tonight as that would also help the show.

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #98 on:** November 02, 2009, 11:26:57 AM »

As expected, World Series Game 4 killed the competition getting American Idol numbers, averaging 20 million viewers last night, but Amazing Race held steady. mswood, I think this season is getting a core 10 million viewers each week.

And yeah, it appears Three Rivers is one foot in the grave. The show is pretty much toast.

----------

-Ratings Breakdown:
Fox hit a ratings grand slam on this first Sunday in November care of Game 4 of The World Series. Second-place ABC was down, but not out, with its regularly scheduled combination of America’s Funniest Home Videos, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters. Third in both categories was CBS, which has sprung a leak at 9 p.m., followed by a depressed, football-less NBC.

In an all sports night, Fox opened the evening with an approximate half-hour prime-time football overrun at a mammoth 30.57 million viewers and an 11.2 rating/30 share, followed by post game The OT at an also first-place 18.24 million viewers and a 6.5/17 in the demo at 7:30 p.m. Game four of The Baseball World Series averaged an estimated 20.02 million viewers and a 6.9/17 among adults 18-49 from 8-11 p.m., with the dominant half-hour breakdown as follows:

Baseball World Series (Fox)
8:00 p.m. – Viewers: 20.87 million, A18-49: 6.9/17
8:30 p.m. – Viewers: 23.61 million, A18-49: 7.9/19
9:00 p.m. – Viewers: 19.68 million, A18-49: 6.8/16
9:30 p.m. – Viewers: 19.82 million, A18-49: 6.9/16
10:00 p.m. – Viewers: 19.19 million, A18-49: 6.9/17
10:30 p.m. – Viewers: 16.97 million, A18-49: 6.2/17

Results for any live sporting event are, of course, approximate.

Over at ABC, its regularly scheduled rotation performed as follows:

ABC - Sunday
7:00 p.m. – America’s Funniest Home Videos
Viewers: 7.84 million (#3), A18-49: 2.0/ 6 (#3)

8:00 p.m. – Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Viewers: 10.75 million (#3), A18-49: 3.4/ 9 (#2)

9:00 p.m. – Desperate Housewives
Viewers: 13.80 million (#2), A18-49: 5.0/12 (#2)

10:00 p.m. – Brothers &n Sisters
Viewers: 9.37 million (#2), A18-49: 3.3/ 9 (#2)

Considering the competition was The World Series from 8 p.m. and beyond, this is another good Sunday for ABC. CBS, meanwhile, remained solid from 7-9 p.m., with 9-11 p.m. in need of fixing. Take a look:

CBS - Sunday
7:00 p.m. – 60 Minutes
Viewers: 12.32 million (#2), A18-49: 2.1/ 6 (#2)

8:00 p.m. – The Amazing Race
Viewers: 11.10 million (#2), A18-49: 3.2/ 8 (#3)

9:00 p.m. – Three Rivers
Viewers: 7.71 million (#3), A18-49: 1.7/ 4 (#4)

10:00 p.m. – Cold Case
Viewers: 8.64 million (#3), A18-49: 1.6/ 4 (#4)

NBC opened with Football Night in America (Viewers: #4, 2.57 million; A18-49: #4, 0.8/ 2), followed by repeat theatrical National Treasure at a last-place 4.59 million viewers and a 1.7/ 4 among adults 18-49 from 8-11 p.m.
