This is really bugging me too. If you want drama on your show, just cast people who will create it. They did do that with the casting this season, but obviously it still wasn't enough drama for them. :P

Final numbers are out.
We scored 10.576 million viewers and a 2.9 in adults 18-49.
That 18-49 ratings is the lowest TAR has ever gotten for a finale episode, but as I posted above, CBS averaged from 7pm to 11pm the oldest its had during TAR Sunday run when everything was new.
So where does that leave us for the season?
Well thats a good question.
The average ratings for the full season was
10.305 million viewers
3.125 in adults 18-49
THat is not the official season ratings that will get published later by Neilsen as Nielsen will not count at least on episode since CBS decided to count that as a special (the April 4th Episode). It is possible that they also included March 7th episode (the Oscars). But I don't get that data.
So bare in mind that the numbers you see below are the numbers from every episode of every season.
TAR Rating History Season Average in Viewers
Season 7: 12.559 million viewers
Season 6: 11.337 million viewers
Season 12: 11.193 million viewers
Season 10: 11.148 million viewers
Season 15: 11.132 million viewers
Season 5: 10.726 million viewers
Season 8: 10.670 million viewers
Season 13: 10.526 million viewers
Season 14: 10.412 million viewers
Season 16: 10.305 million viewers
Season 2: 10.212 million viewers
Season 11: 9.713 million viewers
Season 1: 9.506 million viewers
Season 3: 9.063 million viewers
Season 9: 8.852 million viewers
Season 4: 8.293 million viewers
Now of course viewers aren't what determines how much revenue the show generates, but with Network TV losing viewers every single year (out of the last 6), it shows how consistent TAR really is.
Now the bread and butter is of course generated by adults 18-49. And we actually performed stronger in every single season before moving to Sundays as Sundays CBS audience is the oldest audience on tv.
But here is the adults 18-49 numbers since we have moved to Sundays (this is also something that has gone down year to year, even harder then total viewers for the networks as a whole).
Season 10: 3.79 adults 18-49
Season 12: 3.53 adults 18-49
Season 15: 3.38 adults 18-49
Season 11: 3.16 adults 18-49
Season 16: 3.13 adults 18-49
Season 14: 3.11 adults 18-49

I also feel bad for that moment, Phil doesn't need to do that to create the confrontation. The only woman in final 3 isn't a TAR first and I don't know why Caite can be that obsessed about it.

Well The official Live Plus 7 numbers are out for the season (even though they aren't labeled as Live plus 7, idiots).
Viewers
#24 (out of 124) TAR 15 11.912 million viewers
#26 TAR 16 11.186 million viewers
Demo (18-49)
#25 TAR 15 3.7
#28 TAR 16 3.5
For CBS we ranked #9, and #13 in the Demo. And #15 and #16 (out of a total of 28 shows.
Of course this does include reruns for scripted shows (keep that in mind, but it s a could way to compare to other non scripted shows (reality, news, ect).
And of course scripted shows see far more increases with Live Plus 7 then reality and News based programming.
theschnauzers:
mswood, can you put this plus seven information for TAR 15 and 16 in context to earlier seasons, as you were doing in your previous post? I take the numbers to suggest that TAR 15 ranks only behind TAR 7 in overall average viewers, and that TAR continues its year-to-year increase as has been the case since TAR moved to Sundays.
I also take this information to suggest that TAR's average DVR plus seven increase is about 600,000/week over these past two seasons. And the demo numbers are good, right?
