Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

American Idol got about 26 last night, House got 20.5 or so.

So CSI and GA are likely the best contenders for the third overall spot (and number-one scripted), unless they manage to knock each other down, and I really don't want to see CSI the third-highest scripted show of the week, so fingers crossed for good ratings tomorrow night.

Hee. Oh, theories. Anything I say with regards to CSI itself will sound tainted by my own personal ship preferences, but I will say this: every single show from Thursday was down from its usual averages. 30 Rock, Ugly Betty, CSI, Grey's Anatomy, Survivor, Scrubs, The Office, Supernatural, Smallville...

So... I guess my theory is that it has nothing to do with any show individually, but that people are simply watching less TV?

Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

I'm reading through some old Entertainment Weekly magazines from 1997 while on vacation (don't judge me), and do you know what? There were 12 shows with over 20 million viewers in the premiere week of September. If I can find an April issue, I'll let you know what those are - but still: 1 show with over 40 million, 2 shows with 30-40, and 9 shows with 20-30.

People are watching less live TV. *shrugs* Once they overhaul the ratings system to include DVR numbers & computer downloads, I think we'll find out that the audiences haven't disappeared at all; they're just viewing the shows through new mediums that give them more flexibility. God knows I'd be using downloading (if I were American) or DVR (if I had money).
 
Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

Ok I won't argue. Go CSI though. 1 of every 3 episodes CSI pulls off a win over Grey's. I'm satisfied with that.
 
Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

I don't want to disappoint, but I have a very strong feeling that when the finals come out, GA will be the winner. Their following show gets much lower viewers than CSI's follower, Shark.

But in any case, the fact that it's so close is good enough.

I agree, Dee, on both counts. I would also suggest that a. people are having fewer children now, and b. fewer and fewer shows are being made for the whole family.

Can you picture watching GA or CSI with your kids?

I think TV has so much to offer that it begins to polarize everyone.

Family Ties used to get one-third of the viewing audience when it was on.

There is also a lot more to watch now with satellite and everything else.

My feeling is this: if CBS was concerned by their numbers, they would be advertising the hell out of CSI. They aren't. I think they know what their free download numbers are, and what their iTunes numbers are, and they can look at that and it lets them sort of shrug.

ABC... ABC seems to be trying harder, but they may just have more money to do it.
 
Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

If they were really concerned about their rating numbers - they wouldn't have started Innertube, or anything.
 
Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

An interesting little sidenote, NBC had their worst Thursday ratings in 20 years.

American Idol, even with their extra special telethon, was down 36.6% from their premiere numbers, and down about 7% from their numbers last season.
 
Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

Well a lot more people DVR and Tivo shows too and those results are not immediate. I know a ton of people that watch the shows online too at their convenience.
 
Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

I'm not sure if you posted AIs ratings, but what were their numbers?

I think a lot of people just got a life last night, and recorded the show/DVR.
 
Re: CSI Ratings versus Grey's Anatomy

After two hours, GA had about 26 million. In their first half-hour, they had around 21.

They got around 28 million consistently last season, and went up hugely for premieres and finales (they opened this season with 41 million).

I agree with the TiVo'ing and the DVRs. I mean, if CSI was the only one who went down, that would be one thing. But EVERYTHING is down. It speaks to a trend, not an inherant storyline flaw in any one show.
