The Amazing Race 16 Ratings Thread
mswood:
Finals are out(at least from one source).
TAR
10.293million viewers
3.0 in adults (specifically 3.956 million viewers who were 18-49)
We ranked 17th in viewers and 16th in the demo.
And just to point out how far some shows have fallen year to year (something TAR is one of the most stable shows on any network).
We out performed CSI in the demo (what just two years ago was CBS strongest scripted performer). ABC's Grey's Anatomy (two years ago ABC's Strongest performer) only had 185,000 more viewers then TAR did).
mswood:
Fast Nationals are out.
We got 10. 63 million viewers and a 2.9 in adults 18-49.
The 2.9 in adults is the lowest adult performance we have ever had a for a season finale.
But our viewer total is higher then many seasons.
If this holds in finals we will show year to year growth over the Spring cycle of last year in viewer and in adults 18-49. But not much.
Caelestor:
Two reasons for the low ratings:
1. Mother's Day
2. A mediocre second half hour imo
mswood:
I don't ever track Mother's day so I can't comment on its typical influence. As to teh 2nd half argument, its possible, but who knows.
Personally since the viewer total is up versus last year, just not the number of people 18-49. I would guess it had a lot more to do with the incredibly low total audience CBS had in general for anyone under 50. 60 minutes with a 1.6 (Bad), the two hours Movie a 1.4 (Awful).
In fact, with the exception of the week versus the Oscars thats the oldest average audience CBS has had for those 4 hours for any week that TAR has aired on Sundays. I mean last year we had roughly the same line up 60 Minutes 1.5, us a 3.1, and another Tom Selleck 2 hour TV movie that got a 2.2 (huge difference).
Caelestor:
Actually, the second one is only my opinion. Note that the ratings actually increased during the second half hour.
Really, I don't like how Phil is trying to manufacture drama (and fortunately I don't need to hear any more about Caite being the last woman any more).
Hopefully we'll get a less bumbling cast next cycle.
