CBS Renews TAR for 2014-15 season (so quit worrying!)

<< < (4/4)

theschnauzers:
To counter, CBS itself is internally using plus 30 days data, as well as alternative platforms. Moonves has clearly said as much in speeches over the past two years, and he's also pushed for advertisers to move to that measurement.

People are engaging in binge viewing of shows, and TAR actually lends well to that sort of viewing, although trying to do an entire season in a day is a challenge. But a month's worth at a time is quite doable.

The DVR numbers come out a week or two after because, like you just said, they are measuring the +3 or +7.  So it doesn't matter whether or not TAR is on Sunday because they still measure DVR viewing 3 or 7 days later from the original airdate. 

And even with the DVR numbers factored in, TAR (this season and last) is still down in both the all-important demo and total viewers from the season and the year before. 

Pointing out TAR's dwindling ratings or Emmy losing isn't just for the sake of being negative or pessimistic, it's to point out that TAR needs to do better.  It's a sentiment shared by many TAR fans and even past Racers.  What TAR fan doesn't want the show to do well?  The ratings are an example that it is not.

I completely agree with you on this. TAR does need to make itself more fresh. The real trick is to make it more like what it was in the past - focused on ordinary people (instead of all the semi-celebrities), with an interesting route and creative tasks.

Sometimes it just seems like the producers don't even care, and are simply running on cruise control. For example, they didn't even remember that Joey & Meghan's last season was Season 22 (they put Season 18 in the caption on Episode 3). Also, I wasn't at all thrilled to see that this season they had the audacity to take the intro sequence out of every episode that is not the first! I want to see the montage of the teams! :groan:
