Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

And yet Grey's get's to run around touting itself as Thursday's #1 show. LAME.

But does this mean that Nielson will consider CSI #1 this year (if things don't change the rest of the season)?

It will likely end up being the number one scripted show, yeah.

What Grey's does is rather interesting. For instance, in their first episode, they were not simply content with beating CSI - they had to add together their Thursday and Friday numbers and said that "32 million people agreed".

They then said that they were the highest-rated 18-49 show. True, but still misleading people into thinking they were just plain number one because of the importance of that demographic.

Now having said all of this, Nielsen deals in the business of ratings. I never chose to post ratings here because I think it's a little false to say that one group of people are worth more than others when it comes to being a fan of the show. Demographics and so on are important for advertisers, not for fans.

So in terms of ratings, I have no doubt that Grey's is currently the number one scripted show. So for CSI to regain that title, they will have to pull further ahead than they're doing now.

But purely audience-wise, yes, if CSI continues down this path they will be the number one scripted show for 2006-2007.

Personally, I love Grey's, and I'm not afraid to admit it. But CSI is still my #1

I could never totally abandon Izzie and George, and I did love Grey's, but I think it's gone downhill this season simply from going in circles, and it looks like a lot of the fans, according to the ratings, kind of feel the same. Whereas with CSI, the fans who chose not to watch the premiere have, on average, continued to stay away, while at the same time it seems that the fans who DID are satisfied. No way I can prove that, but it's what averages might infer.
 
Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

LOL at the Nielsen. LOL we simply rule, yo.

Interesting is not the word I would've used, but ok ;)

Meanwhile, I hope I lose ROYALLY tonight. Then we can break that tigh. Hee.

I think the mutiny clips should be a big draw...I hardly ever watch TV other than CSI. Have they have been airing promos for the episode?
 
Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

I know they were airing a ton on CTV, but I don't know about CBS. No word on fast nationals yet.
 
Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

I just want CSI to smash Grey's into the ground. I have a feeling CSI did good this week though, a lot of people I talked too watched it. Hopefully when I return from lunch the fast nationals will be out.

From TV Guide online news blog:

Grey's Anatomy bested CSI at 9 pm, 21.4 million viewers to 20.96.
 
Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

And this is from Zap2It

"Grey's Anatomy" beat out "CSI" in Thursday's ratings, but the rest of CBS' lineup was strong enough to give the Eye a ratings win for the night.

CBS averaged a 10.2 rating/16 share in primetime to top ABC's 9.5/15 (CBS had about 1.7 million more viewers as well). Airing a full night of repeats, NBC was a distant third at 3.6/6. FOX's 2.9/4 was good for fourth, edging The CW's 2.5/4.

ABC, however, won the adults 18-49 demographic with a 5.3 rating. CBS took second with a 4.6. NBC, 2.7, came in third, and FOX and The CW tied for fourth at 1.7.

A "CSI: Miami" rerun, 8.0/13, put CBS on top at 8 p.m. ABC got a 6.8/11 from a repeat of "Ugly Betty," while NBC was third with encores of "My Name Is Earl," 5.3/8, and "The Office," 4.8/7. "'Til Death" and "The War at Home" were fourth for FOX, edging out "Smallville," 2.9/4, on The CW.

"Grey's Anatomy," 14.0/21, won the 9 p.m. hour for ABC and was the night's most-watched show. "CSI" was close behind, drawing a 13.1/19 for CBS. NBC held onto third with repeats of "Scrubs" and "30 Rock," averaging a mere 2.9/4. "The O.C.," 2.5/4, kept FOX ahead of The CW and "Supernatural."

CBS regained the lead at 10 p.m. as a "Shark" repeat earned a 9.3/16. ABC's "Men in Trees" posted a 7.7/13, while an hour of "The Office" came in at 2.9/5 for NBC.
 
Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

Well, that's a bummer. Isn't Survivor coming back soon? Maybe that will give a boost. Obviously some folks have no problem switching channels in the middle of the lineup. I know a lot of people I work with watch Grey's and TiVo CSI for later. I have no idea how that figures into the ratings.

Well, although TiVo'ing counts, it only counts if they watched it the same day.

It is a bummer, but I imagine that the continued controvercy for Grey's might have brought people back, whereas with CSI their most popular actor is gone, and while I'm really liking Keppler, Liev isn't that big a name.

Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

well, well, well. i think i won the bet. MWAHA

did i?
 
Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

Question. I'm Canadian - do the ratings only come from the States or all of North America or what?

Anyway, I'd like to pitch a bet for this week's episode, Meet Market. I say 22.4 mil.
 
Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

The ratings are based on 30,000 people within the states.

Anyways, CSI will get free advertising on the biggest stage of them all next Sunday, as the Super Bowl returns to CBS for the first time since the Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake fiasco. Hopefully the CSI episode scheduled for that week puts together a good promo because that will be the week to get viewers back with Grissom returning the week after and have some viewer momentum going towards the end of the season.
