thanks for the numbers sarah. well, it's understandable that their repeats don't get as much attention as CSI. on the other hand, when i was addicted to a soap, (yes i was once but ONLY b/c the lead guy was to die for and i shipped him with the girl he ended up with in the end) i watched all the repeats. i mean, the whole thing had 187 20-minute episodes and i've seen every single one of them like 5 times, lol. so if you love a show a lot, you're gonna watch it no matter if it's a soap with a continuing storyline or not. gotta remember though, that most of the people just don't get SO addicted to a show. another thing is that CSI had a drop in ratings this season, due to the competition with Grey's. many people just didn't see those eps at all, so they are catching up with the repeats over the summer.
Which is a reasonable theory, except that their ratings are pretty much identical to what they were last season. I think that there's just a core group of 10 million people who watch CSI rain or shine, and it's the 10 or 20 or so extras who have tuned it at some point who decide whether they'll watch in September or not. With Grey's Anatomy, their repeat numbers have been cut almost exactly in half. Last season they got about 7-8 million over the summer. Now they're getting about 3-4. From what I've heard from die-hard GA fans, even they aren't sure they'll be watching the new season. I think GA is just finding itself on the same path as Desperate Housewives and Lost - if their storylines don't get better, their ratings are going to fall hard this season. Lost used to get about 20 million viewers. Not it gets about 11. Desperate Housewives used to get, like, 22 - now it's lucky if it gets 16 or 17. Maybe it is just TiVo, because all three CSIs have fallen in the ratings as well. *shrug* But I do think that repeat numbers say something about viewer loyalty - CSI and GA get roughly the same number of viewers when their shows are new. Yet almost three times as many people actually want to go back and re-watch an episode of CSI than an episode of GA.
