Hawaii Five-0 once again had a sizable ratings boost from DVR viewers in week 8 of the TV season, enough to earn it the No. 1 spot for the week ending Nov. 14, beating out fellow strong performers Grey’s Anatomy and The Mentalist. The freshman show failed to maintain the same momentum in the 18-49 age bracket, however, earning the No. 5 spot in that demo behind Grey’s (which topped with 1.5 million viewers gained), House, The Office, and Glee.
Here’s a look at the top ten:
1) Hawaii Five-0 (CBS): 3.50 million gained from DVRs*
2) The Mentalist (CBS): 3.07 million
3) Grey’s Anatomy (ABC): 3.02 million
4) House (FOX): 2.79 million
5) Criminal Minds (CBS): 2.61 million
6) Glee (FOX): 2.60 million
7) NCIS (CBS): 2.52 million
8 ) Castle (ABC): 2.51 million
9) The Good Wife (CBS): 2.51 million
10) CSI (CBS): 2.29 million
Five-0‘s consistent performance in DVR ratings also helped boost its season-to-date ranking — it sits at No. 1, averaging 3.2 million.
* DVR playback is measured by the number of viewers who watch their recordings within seven days of the show’s airing
I can not believe the Fringe didn’t make the list.
Agreed. Fringe is the best show currently airing on TV.
You guys dont know what you’re missing
Maybe it’s a case of they don’t care what they’re missing as it’s not up their alley. Not everyone is a sci-fi fan.
It usually tops the list in increased demo numbers which is what actually counts, not total viewers.
I have to DVR Hawaii 5-0, comes on too late for me. I like the show, campy, and fun.
I want to know how they know when I watch what I’ve recorded …
missmiggles…”They” know everything!!!
Glad to see they are using DVR numbers, as I only watch TV with my DVR, and felt guilty that I wasn’t helping my favorite shows (some who got cancelled, i.e., Better off Ted) Also glad to see 2-1/2 Men is not on the list. Maybe with the DVR counting we can finally push this awful show out of contention for anything. Charlie Sheen is a d****e.
Love Hawaii 50,and 2 1/2 Men, Criminal Minds and all the CSI’s – CBS you rock with the shows lately
