CBS:
8pm – How I Met Your Mother – 10.11m (3.8) * Superbowl Effect: Up 3% 8.30pm – Accidentally On Purpose – 9.23m (3.4) * Superbowl Effect: Up 10% 9pm – Two and a Half Men – 17.56m (5.7) * Superbowl Effect: Up 12% * Highest rating in 3 years 9.30pm – The Big Bang Theory – 16.20m (6.0) * Superbowl Effect: Up 11% * Highest rating ever 10pm – CSI: Miami – 13.46m (3.9) * Superbowl Effect: Up 8% CBS got a bit of a lift from the Superbowl, mainly at 9pm where it had some great ratings. The Big Bang Theory continues to set series highs, though I doubt that one will be beaten this season. Two and a Half Men still has great ratings and is commissioned through 2011-2012 season but has one little problem: the star faces felony charges. ITV never had an effect after Britain's Got Talent or The X Factor...

Glee is doing brilliantly for E4. Well deserved too.

God knows. I still don't understand why they had a double bill a few weeks ago, other than to put the Channel 4 episodes a confusing 12 days behind E4.
But they've also got a strong primetime line-up, particularly on Thursdays (Big Bang/HIMYM & Skins) and Mondays (Glee & Cleveland Show). Desperate Housewives First Look continues to do well and other shows like 90210, while not setting the world alight, are getting acceptable numbers. Glee really seems to have caught the imagination and have avid fans. They never stop talking about it on Radio 1 and "Don't Stop Believing" has been hugely successful. It's good for E4 to have shows that don't just rate high but also attract attention. |

ITV never had an effect after Britain's Got Talent or The X Factor...Also, relative to normal US ratings, The Superbowl is huge. The X Factor is undoubtedly massive, but even the final was only about 50-60% higher than the next highest rated show on TV that week. The Superbowl will end up about 400-500% higher than other US TV shows. It usually happens that ratings rise. For example, the 3 year high for Two and a Half Men relates to CBS having the Superbowl 3 years ago! |

What is your current ratings estimate for the EastEnders live episode and hour long episodes?
Monday's number will give an early indication of what could occur for the remainder of the week. |

For the FIFA Final, could the put Wimbledon, Grand Prix, Eastenders, Doctor Who and the Final all in one day? Even through in some comedy for afterwards.

Not sure what to expect from EastEnders. On one hand, its airing on its weakest night of the week (figures are usually perhaps 1m or more lower on Friday than Monday). However, the curiosity factor of the live episode should get viewers who watch it on BBC Three or iPlayer to tune in for the first run - and of course, the massive storyline ought to bump it up too. I'd say 12-13m.

No, because Wimbledon finishes on July 4th. The World Cup Final and F1 British GP is on July 11th (both Sundays).

Oh, but my idea kind of stands. They could place an episode of EE and DW in between the GP and WC Finals. It would make for a high ratings day.

Very good figures in the big 9pm battle last night. Both Hustle and Law and Order have shown that two dramas can co-exist on Monday nights and get decent ratings. Hopefully Law and Order has done well enough for ITV to keep faith in it as its the sort of show that the channel should be trying to make more of.

But has it declined as much as it appears?
As I have said over the last two weeks ITV and ratings are completely ignoring the Sky HD audience (as they prefer to deny you can watch ITV HD that way - and seemingly forced Radio Times last year to change its wording in the programme guide back to the claim that only Freesat viewers could watch the channel). There has been a massive rise in HD viewers since Law and Order:UK was on last year and Sky installers are routinely setting up ITV HD for new viewers. So potentially hundreds of thousands of viewers for Law and Order on ITV HD (the Sky viewers who have never tuned to ITV 1 SD beforehand and so are not counted) are being left out of these figures. Quote:
Aside from some weird scheduling, E4 have a pretty strong line-up just now. Their evening (6pm-9pm) schedule is really strong and consistent. Hollyoaks is down a bit but HIMYM is doing great at 7.30pm (300-400k). Scrubs and Friends have always been consistent at 6/8pm.
But they've also got a strong primetime line-up, particularly on Thursdays (Big Bang/HIMYM & Skins) and Mondays (Glee & Cleveland Show). Desperate Housewives First Look continues to do well and other shows like 90210, while not setting the world alight, are getting acceptable numbers. Glee really seems to have caught the imagination and have avid fans. They never stop talking about it on Radio 1 and "Don't Stop Believing" has been hugely successful. It's good for E4 to have shows that don't just rate high but also attract attention. I do wish though they'd chance something else other than Friends in the 5pm/8pm slots. I wouldn't axe them completely, but certainly worth dropping one episode and sticking The Big Bang Theory or My Name is Earl in the 8.30pm slot. |

^Good idea actually. They should try pairing up Friends with something else and see if it would benefit. If it doesn't work they can always go back to the double-bills.

E4 in a much stronger position now than a year or so ago, and their strategy of aiming for quality over quantity with regard to original programmes is clearly paying off pver the throw enough shit and something will stick approach of BBC3.
Misfits did OK last autumn without being a major hit but The Inbetweeners looks like it could be coming to an end after this series while Skins faces the challenge of reinventing itself again. I'd like to see them have a new sitcom at 10.30pm after The Inbetweeners this year so as they have another comedy hit in case it ends. ITV2 could really use some of E4's success with scripted content (both UK and imported) and E4 could maybe use some of ITV2's success in entertainment/reality formats (E4 haven't even bothered in the past few years) to fill up some of the hours of repeats. All they really have just now is Fonejacker and Rude Tube. On the subject of multi-channel, I think it's a huge coup for Living to have Elle Macpherson hosting Britain's Next Top Model. They should really get her "out there" to promote the show (she has the kind of profile that could even get her on Jonathan Ross). Quote:

I think in the long-run, that's something they might want to do. But for now (while TBBT still only has about 50 eps), I think one of the reasons why Friends does well is because everyone knows where it is at a regular time. I don't watch often, but if there's not much on you always know that E4 has Friends! Maybe in a few years when TBBT has built up more episodes they could move it into the 8pm hour. But when they do that, it has to be a permanent move rather than just trying it out.

Very good night for BBC One and also ITV1 with Hustle and Law and Order doing well, BBC Two did good with UC and Delia Through the Decades who is still attracting an audience even after 40 years, Channel 4 had a good night with Dispatches and Tower Block of Commons and Five also a good night with The Gadget Show holding up against Dispatches while Paul Merton kept its audience from last week.
Interesting to see how Chinese Food in Minutes does for Five, it was interesting to watch although it only had one ad break and that was for Sharwood who are also sponsoring the show in the same way that Sage sponsors The Krypton Factor. |

Also regarding FIVE I notice they have given up on the plan to stop CSI:NY and Casualty clashing as it airs against it on Saturday, but with a head start. Can't do any worse than the 1.7m for last week which is poor imo! The show should be getting at least 1 million more and deservcs the Tuesday 9pm slot I think. |

Wouldn't flag up the Jordan Channel as an example of entertainment/reality formats - glad E4 have stayed well clear of that sort of show. A Glee spin-off wouldn't be a bad idea - some kind of Show Choir comp - certainly not something anyone would have suggested for E4 a year ago! With Big Brother going though would like to more some non-scripted E4 content - shame Beauty and the Geek from a few years ago never got a second season as that was rather good, mainly thanks to David Mitchell's couldn't care less commentary. Would be nice to see a few shows which are just pointless entertainment too - TV takes itself way too seriously at the moment! On to other matters and ITV3 get to Hair by Mr Bean of London next week. I know when that was released it was exclusive to video but has it been shown on TV since. I can't recall it being aired. |

Seems like a show which could do well and should be given a better slot imo, perhaps an 8pm slot with episodes doubled up? Or even Wednesday at 7.30pm where competition is fairly weak many weeks?
The problem with scheduling after Casualty is that CSI: NY has ended up after 10pm so a 9-9.30pm slot is preferably and it would attract over 2m. |

ITV never had an effect after Britain's Got Talent or The X Factor...
