LOL. Well, they made you look. :lol: I'll check it out at some point, but I'm not in a very big hurry. It looks a little out there, and then some.
Found this on CBS Express CSI was #6 in viewers and #9 in Adults 18-49 in the DVR 7-Day Playback Lift during Premiere Week
Well, that's pretty disappointing. But I have to admit, I like Revenge. And TR Knight guested on SVU, and then there was baseball on FOX; so the competition was a little stiffer in my household last night. Here are the finals for Maid Man: Revenge 2.7 (18-49 demo)/ 7.900 million viewers CSI 2.6/ 10.930 Law & Order: SVU 2.1/ 7.340
Maybe some viewers tuned out last night due to the mob related storyline. A lot of viewers don't like that sort of thing. I don't usually, but last night's didn't bother me.
Thanks for the info Blackflag! No Sookie, they were actually up. I can see where that title is a bit confusing when discussing ratings though! :lol: Glad to see the numbers up! When the World Series is over and the next repeat is out of the way, hopefully they will rise further
The article on the news page says ratings were down from last week. This is all so confusing. :sigh: lol.
Just an FYI posting. I found a chart of the cost of a 30 second ad for current tv shows. I've listed CBS's shows in descending order: 1) Two and a Half Men $252,418 2) The Big Bang Theory 198,348 3) Mike and Molly 196,497 4) Person of Interest 174,574 5) How I Met Your Mother 168,829 6) Two Broke Girls 166,678 7) NCIS 154,646 8) The Mentalist 154,781 9) Survivor 144,478 10) The Good WIfe 137,457 11) Criminal Minds 137,347 12) CSI 135,350 13) NCIS:LA 133,204 14) Unforgettable 131,815 15) Hawaii 5-0 130,514 16) The Amazing Race 124,091 17) 60 Minutes 122,075 18) CSI:Miami 98,027 19) Blue Bloods 76,133 20) CSI:NY 71,909 21) A Gifted Man 63,827 I can't remember exactly, but I think CSI's ad revenue last season was a little higher than what POI is currently getting, but less than Grey's Anatomy. CSI is in decent shape on Wednesday and is in line with Criminal Minds, but I'm pretty shocked at Miami and NY's ad revenue. For those discounting budget cuts as a valid reason for cutting screen time for actors, think again. Veteran casts and crews are expensive to maintain, and dramas in general are much more expensive to produce than sitcoms, especially if they have any fancy camera work or special effects. I would venture a guess and say that the CSI's are the costliest shows for CBS right now, yet they are in the lower end of ad revenue for the network. Which means they have to make money in other ways. Syndication and international popularity are helping a lot to keep the shows going, I suspect. The full chart can be found here, and includes the other networks. It's pretty interesting stuff. http://adage.com/article/mediaworks/chart-american-idol-nfl-duke-priciest-tv-spot/230547/#sun
Thanks Boo Moon very interesting Wow I too though Miami and NY would be higher, I guess it's their timeslot
