Season 9 Ratings Thread

Remember it is the 18-49 number they look at. This number went up from last week, 2.5 to 2.6. These aren't final numbers yet anyway. There was also two football games and a World Series game on at the same time. We are holding up well considering. CBS will give them a grace period during football season, and will only start looking seriously at the numbers in the spring.
 
What time did The Walking Dead air? I have a feeling that may have poached some viewers.
 
Yeh, it was on at the same time. I don't know how long the appeal of zombies is going to last. Now this weekend we have to contend with double football games and the time change. So when it comes on at 10:30-11 or so, it will actually feel like 11:30-12. We sure have alot of obstacles this season. They are really pushing the loyalty of the fans.

The Walking Dead has gotten mostly positive reviews and it actually has a much deeper story than most of the zombie stuff that has come out recently so it could hurt Miami as well

And I say the above as someone who isn't into Zombies

Football needs to end now. I mean Miami has done very well despite the low ratings. It's the pushing back that is killing the show right now. But Theresa is right, they won't start seriously looking at the numbers till the spring. But part of me just wishes they put them back on Monday nights.

They may not seriously start looking at the numbers until spring, but how many will have given up by then because of this constant push back?

Surely those who've become frustrated and have given up will be reflected in decreased ratings when it's time to truly pay attention. :(

And no ... I didn't watch last night. Just couldn't stay up that late. And my DVR didn't pick it up either. I'll try to watch it online in the next couple of days.
 
Ratings will be down for sure as it really is late for you guys on Sunday night. If they will be looking at numbers from spring on, how many episodes it will be left? I mean, season ends in May, that's still spring.
 
it didn't air at all so there will be no ratings for a new episode last night,how does that work as far as the ratings,does the show get a pass or N/A for the week?
 
Interesting, Undercover Boss, which aired in our timeslot last night, declined significantly and got the same low ratings we did last week. So apparently there is some credibility to the theory that 10 p.m. is a very difficult timeslot.

I think that the show's ratings will be announced tomorrow but I'm not sure that the numbers that CSI:Miami pulled last night will be adjusted in the season average because it aired on a different timeslot..
 
Now they are reporting that The Walking Dead is a bonifide hit and it has been renewed already. Great, now another excuse not to watch our show. The hits just keep coming.
 
CSI:Miami slipped to a new series low in the key demo last night.Reality Kills brought 10.44 million viewers and a 2.4 in the 18/49 rating.
 
Probably because all of those people caught it online... :rolleyes: LOL.

Viewers are slightly up, though! I know demo is more important, just saying.
 
From TV Guide (Nov. 15):
Question: Can you please tell me why in the world did CBS put CSI: Miami on Sunday nights? I look forward to this show every week. Football went over last Sunday so they didn't even show it. I think it is terrible what they did. CBS needs to move it back to a weeknight. It is almost like CBS wants to cancel it. All the CSI's are great and CSI: Miami is one of the best. They need to put something on after football that nobody cares about. — Susan
Matt Roush: We've tackled this issue before, but I figured it would come up again — vociferously — given the extreme situation of last Sunday, when an hour-plus football overrun caused CBS to pull the show entirely from the Eastern and Central time zones. (Ironically, the following week CBS didn't carry the late-afternoon game and, blissfully, the prime-time lineup went on uninterrupted.) While CSI: Miami fans have every right to be annoyed by this — I was as well that Sunday, as the reality-TV angle made it an episode I was curious to see for myself — there is a very peculiar logic in suggesting CBS should put a show "nobody cares about" in the 10/et slot, which is unquestionably the most vulnerable hour when football goes way long. From CBS' point of view, it makes more sense — and makes affiliates happy — to put a show viewers do care about in that time period. Even with the overruns, die-hard fans are more likely to try to stay tuned to a show like Miami, and that's a win for CBS. Putting a loser show there (not that CBS has many of those) makes no sense whatsoever for the bottom line.
To address the question of why CSI: Miami drew the short straw: The answer has less to do with the show itself than with the network's desire to open up the Monday time period with a new show and try to create a new hit for CBS. Which, more or less, is what happened. (Ditto with moving CSI: NY to Friday to launch The Defenders on Wednesday.) The industry generally sees these as bold moves that look to the network's future as opposed to staying complacent with long-running shows that don't pack the heat they used to.
