Last Night's Episode Ratings

[Caesis]

~1.8

If we get back to 2.0, I think we're shoe-in. 2.0 through the season woulda been nicer, but this way it looks like we are gaining an audience :P

[SteelyGal]

Actually, I think the ratings for last night is a positive thing.

At the 9:00 half hour, V was at 1.8 and 5.278 viewers.
At the 9:30 half hour, V grew to a 1.9 and 5.498 viewers.

While NOF and Detroit dropped in their second half hours, V grew in both the viewers and demo. The 2nd half hour of "Siege" was freaking fantastic and had one of the most fist-pumping endings I've ever seen on TV, so I'm not surprised it went up. Glad to see it.

Thanks for that perspective. The way the article was worded "Yesterday Losers" made me worry. But with what everyone has said about the ratings, I feeling more positive.

Pretty much anyone show that isn't an NCIS or Biggest Loser franchise or Glee is a "loser" on Tuesdays

If we get back to 2.0, I think we're shoe-in. 2.0 through the season woulda been nicer, but this way it looks like we are gaining an audience :P

I would definitely feel better if we got back to a 2.0, but things are looking up. Hope we can keep it going.

Hoping for a 2.0 or a bit more too!

ABC Spins Better Than Any Network...

here is the press release info for last night, as posted on TVBytheNumbers. Where are the female sci-fi fans?

ABC‘s “V” Delivers its 2nd Week of Gains in Adults 18-49,

“V” (9:00-10:00 p.m.)

Building on its Total Viewer and young adult lead-in for the 3rd week running, ABC’s “V” posted its 2nd consecutive week of gains in Adults 18-49 (1.9/5 vs. 1.8/5), Men 18-49 (2.0/6 vs. 1.9/5) and Men 25-54 (2.5/6 vs. 2.4/6).In fact, “V” stood as the only program on the major nets to build week to week in the key young adult demo.

• In the 9 o’clock hour, “V” beat out Fox’s “Glee”-led comedies (“Raising Hope”/”Traffic Light”) by 33% in Men 18-49 (2.0/6 vs. 1.5/4) and by a resounding 56% in Men 25-54 (2.5/6 vs. 1.6/4).

Impressive, V will be back, Iam almost certain ☺ Keep watching everyone, wow the Siege episode was sooooo good. And Erica is now the Fifth Column world leader, things are going to get interesting ☺

[protector91]

This show has a bullseye on regardless of the ratings being consistent. I can feel it and it'll be sad when ABC cancels it and we all know its going to get canceled. It feels like sci-fi shows don't stand a chance anymore on T.V.

[Resistance84]

Final Numbers...

- 5.430 million viewers
- 3.3/5 HH
- 1.9/5 A18-49

These were the final numbers for ABC's other two series:

No Ordinary Family
- 5.033 million viewers
- 3.0/5 HH
- 1.5/4 A18-49

Detroit 187
- 5.199 million viewers
- 3.4/6 HH
- 1.2/3 A18-49

[Caesis]

Well, we got a better shot than Detroit or Family.

If we stay around ~1.9 while the others continue to fail, I say we got this

Then again, they could pull a tscc/Dollhouse. Cancel the show with the higher ratings and assume the ratings will spike 300% next season for dollhouse even though they slipped all season ...

[protector91]

I hope we don't have to pull a Jericho here people.

[Glove]

The ratings are remaining steady.
Everyone that I know that saw 'Siege' has said it was a good episode-no complaints.
Keep pushing the show.
I'd like to see more Marc Singer in Season Three.

Well I suck at math, but don't those numbers look really really good???

We need to get more of a 2.0+ situation happening to really feel safe, but V is getting back up, which is progress.

[Caesis]

I hope we don't have to pull a Jericho here people.

We'll do what has to be done

But more realistically, pulling a Jericho is something that will only happen once I think, especially by CBS, the current leader in viewers (according to Nielson).

EDIT: And just noticed this, but a whole lotta old people watch NCIS (and its spinoff). For the most watched show on TV, a huge chunk of them are older than 49 or younger than 18. Glee does better in the young-middle-aged audience, and gets like half the total viewers.

[MannaBanana]

Why does it matter what age the viewers are? People are watching the show isnt that all that matters? Why do the ratings need to go up for ages 18-49?

Sorry I just dont understand the ratings system at all. So if somebody could explain it that would be great! Thanks
