Mendes56 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 This is the point where its no longer predictable, it makes it far more exciting. Even though I don't like Dick or Daniele very much, they do make for good television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEDI Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 The odd thing is, it was Sundays episode that did the best and the live show did the worst. Only odd to us internet users. Those TV-only folks just HAD to tune in, since they didn't know who won HoH until they watched Sunday's show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyroneTanic Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 The ratings news is actually much better than you might think, because what's most important to the networks is how a program does in the "demo" -- among 18 to 49-year-olds. More viewers in the demo means the network can sell commercial time for more money. So here are the ratings that CBS considers most important: (As you can see, BB8 held down the #5, #8 and #9 spots .. outrating even an NFL preseason game, which costs MUCH more to produce.)

Joah Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Considering how bad Singing Bee and Don't Forget the Lyrics are.... I think Big Brother is still doing very bad. Out of all the shows I know that are on ....on major networks, BB is at the very bottom. Not a single show I can think of that comes on did worse than BB. Even an old show like Two and a Half Men beat it. Sad to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCS Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 For me this week has finally started to get interesting! I can't wait for Thursday night's show! I have Showtime and BBAD bored me to sleep.

TCS Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I really like Morty's. I'm new to all this forum stuff. I tried the CBS forums and those posters are plain ol mean!!!! So I went hunting and here I am. I don't have the live feeds, Morty's is a great help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfgranny Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Those ratings are bound to be higher for Aug. 6-13 since Dick went mental after his nomination. Don't know how long they'll last since so little of that two hour tirade was shown - must've been a bitch to edit out all the vulgarities. So little was left that Dick's actions didn't even look close to how over the top they were. I remember during the tirade Saturday morning wondering why they all didn't just go into the HOH like the Nerd Herd used to. They sat there and took it for a LONG time - of course what the TV audience saw made it look like they ran for cover immediately because he said boo! If people watched more this week because of all the buzz over his meltdown, I expect the ratings to drop again since they didn't see anything near what we saw on the feeds.

zilchie Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I think watching, and getting deep into, BB, is an acquired taste, and only suffers from having been around so long. When I talk to some of my friends about BB, and getting the feeds, and jawing here about it, their eye's start to glaze over! I think this is the reason for ED being in the house this year, to create buzz. Even negative buzz, is better than no buzz at all. I got pulled in deeper, because of the Sho2 After Dark thing. Being a fly-on-the wall, for free as it were(I am a Showtime subscriber anyway), made me want more. Oh, and then there was Nick...hottest guy since Dr. Will!

surfgranny Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 How in the hell does America's Got Talent beat BB let alone place in the top 100 with the 18-45 demographic? That show is like watching Lawrence Welk. Talk about snoresville! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straykat Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 That show is like watching Lawrence Welk. Oh, it is worse than Welk! Jerry Springer? Hasslehoff? Blech! How could anyone put that over BB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfgranny Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 At risk of being politically incorrect, maybe deaf and blind people??? Other than that, I haven't the foggiest notion how ANYONE under 80 thinks America's got Talent is worth an hour of their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Depeche221 Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Anyone with legitimate ratings info should post it here First of all Subtle, please feel free to post the wikipedia ratings in this thread each week as they are updated. I actually considered posting those as well, but since they can be edited by anyone and everyone (that is what makes Wiki what it is ), I decided to go with just the Nielsons. Not perfect by any means, but the trusted source for ratings in the "Biz". But I like to see what the difference is so please look for this post each week (Tues or Wed ) and post your link to the wiki site. will be interesting to see if they stay the same or differ. Also, TyroneTanic. EXCELLENT post. The 18 - 49 demo is definately the one they are looking at. I tyried posting that info a couple years back and wound up with hate mail for age discrimination (even though I didn;t create the ratings). So I just started posting the basic top 20 Nielsons. But since you have a finger on that one, please, please PLEASE post how that changes each week as well. If we all contribute our individual rankings, no one can say we are in a secret alliance If you do not see the post on the front page, try looking at page 2 as it drops off as the week goes on. If all els fails, start a new topic with same headline and the fabulous mods willl move it where it needs to be. Thanks mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCS Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Sorry Dep....I'm new to all this forum stuff....I thought this thread was for discussions..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Depeche221 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Ummmm, just to clarify, the show is NOT getting GREAT ratings. It is doing ok, but not really better than any other season at this point. It has has never been a huge ratings hit, but it does ok and is consistent. You can see that reruns, or really lame reality shows like Americas got Talent and So you Think You Can Dance rank among the top week after week. BB flounders in the 15 - 20 range until the last couple weeks when nothing else is on and then it usually cracks the top 10 a few times. It is predictable and stable, but not a huge hit. That could change if the current folks in charge were booted. Even after 8 seasons, the show could be bigger than ever if done right, unfortunately, that is not gonna happen with the current crew involved.

Yana Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Thank you Dep, but that's the point really... BB is right on target this season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerSnaps Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I know people who watch every reality show on tv, yet when you ask them about BB they get this glazed over look--not many know about it. On the other hand, I basically just watch this one, I've tried a few others but never keep up... So, my point is how can it be a huge ratings show if most don't know about it. How come they don't run it in the Fall - because it would probably be gone by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
