Big Bang Theory was flat with last week and tied its lowest-rated telecast this season but still scored an impressive 4.1/12 in the demo and averaged 12.8 million viewers. Each 18-49 ratings point equals 1.3 million viewres. $#*! My Dad Says earned a 3.1/9 and 10.8 million, followed by CSI (3.3/9, 14 million) and The Mentalist (3.2/9, 14.5 million). Interesting sidenote about CSI: It actually built in viewers from half-hour to half-hour (13.6 million to 14.5 million). Are people tired of following the mystery and just want to learn about the culprit?
ABC finished the night in third place (2.9/8, 10.9 million) by airing It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (2.2/6, 6.9 million), Grey’s Anatomy (3.8/10, 10.6 million), and Private Practice (2.7/8, 7.7 million). NBC was fourth (2.4/7, 5.9 million) thanks to the special Scared Shrekless (2.5/8, 8.1 million), Community (2.4/7, 5.6 million), The Office (3.9/10, 8.0 million), Outsourced (2.7/7, 5.9 million), and The Apprentice (which was actually up one-tenth from last week with a 1.4/4). It averaged 3.8 million.
Honestly, OUTSOURCED is doing better than Community??
CHANGE ITS FREAKING TIMESLOT TO AFTER THE OFFICE
my thoughts exactly
I love Shatner, but I can’t last even 10 minutes into that show.
The Shat did not score, he benefited from his time slot….again.
How do people tune out for Community and then come back for The Office? Why not just enjoy the NBC comedies in a block? They play fine that way. And when is Parks and Recreation coming back?
I really wish they would change Community’s time slot as well. Too many people I know watch BBT and Community. I tried to watch Sh*t because I love William Shatner, but I didn’t laugh once during the three episodes I gave it.
I just don’t get the Shat success. How can a show like that succeed but something like Better Off Ted failed?
Because we live in a society that favors stupidity.
Why do you think 15% of media coverage is on the Jersey Shore?
I am seriously starting to believe that there are a whole bunch of Nielsen viewers out there that only have CBS on their t.v. sets – it is so frustrating to see these CBS shows dominating the ratings week after week.
Or there are viewers, such as myself, who just don’t like the same shows as you….and that’s fine.
If Community gets cancelled and Outsourced stays on the air, well……I will be very disapointed.
What else can I say, I can’t stop watching the channel. I love Chuck too much, which is the opposite of how NBC feels about this underrated show.
Community did one awesome Halloween episode yesterday. It better not get canceled.
Just got done watching it again on On Demand – Community is one show that always gets better with a second viewing to catch all the references.
I was so looking forward to Community this week, but my local station in my city preempted it to air some nonsense about local Halloween events and how to make Halloween treats. I was very frustrated. Now I’ll have to watch it on Hulu.
