TAR 20 Ratings Thread
dryedmangoez:
TAR was first in viewers and tied Once Upon a Time in the demo (yay!). Good to see the show actually go up in the demo even with viewers a little down and Daylight Savings.

One way to see how TAR is doing is that it is still making the top 20, and not lower than the top 30 even in the spring, most of the time.
slayton:
Does anyone know why CBS is able to claim that TAR was "first in adults 18-49" with a 2.9, despite the fact that "The Walking Dead" had a 3.6 in Adults 18-49?
Do cable shows not count?
theschnauzers:
The broadcast networks only discuss how they're doing in comparison to other broadcast networks because ad buyers look at broadcast networks and local stations that way.
Cable has a different financial structure, and they are driven by the number of subscribers that could watch a given cable channel (not all cable subscribers have access to all cable channels that are available, either because they did not order that tier of channels or because the cable/satellite provider doesn't carry a particular channel. The ratings then are in terms of how many watched out of how many who has access and could have watched. It's a much more complicated set of numbers, and for some channels, having one million viewers with their channel fees and advertising generates a good profit for the cable provider and the cable channel providing that program.

This is how Daniel Feinberg at Hitfix described the preliminary overnight ratings with the 43 minute NCAA overrun pushing the CBS schedule back (CBS average just under 10 million for that 7pm ET hour):
--- Quote ---8 p.m. - CBS stayed in first overall with the 10.58 million viewers for "The Amazing Race" (and a big chunk of "60 Minutes" for much of the country), but slipped to second with a 2.6 rating among adults 18-49. ABC's "Once Upon a Time" slipped to 8.585, but actually ticked up from last week in the key demo with a 2.9 rating. NBC's "Harry's Law" averaged 7.62 million viewers for third, but finished fourth with a 1.1 key demo rating. FOX was fourth overall and third in the key demo with "The Simpsons" (5.235 million and a 2.4 key demo rating) and "Bob's Burgers" (4.39 million and a 2.1 key demo).
9 p.m. - "The Good Wife" (and "The Amazing Race" for much of the country) averaged 9.2 million viewers to win the 9 p.m. hour, coming in third with a 2.2 rating among adults 18-49. ABC's "Desperate Housewives" averaged 8.99 million viewers for second and tied for first on the hour with a 2.5 key demo rating. NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" averaged 5.21 million viewers and a 1.6 key demo rating. FOX was tied for first in the demo and finished fourth overall with "Family Guy" (5.68 million viewers and a 2.8 key demo) and "American Dad" (4.64 million viewers and a 2.2 key demo).

Hopefully the final weekly number tomorrow will get it sorted out, but it looks to me like TAR will be on par with last week, including besting their time slot(s) in the demos, barely.
