Tuesday 20th September 2011 Some stand out ratings last night - very high for EE, The Body Farm retaining a healthy rating - ought time-shift well also. TGBB doing incredible numbers for BBC2. Emmerdale bringing in healthy numbers also. Premiere for Two and a Half Men very decent for a multichannel - Comedy Central ought keep the episodes running weekly from now - to run episodes until the Friends relaunch - if they wait until October as planned ratings will drop more than expected.
BBC One 19:30 - EastEnders: 8.75m (39.2%) 21:00 - The Body Farm: 4.75m (20.3%) BBC Two 20:00 - The Great British Bakeoff: 3.85m (16.3%) ITV1 19:00 - Emmerdale: 6.92m (33.7%) Comedy Central 21:00 - Two and a Half Men: 685k (2.9%) |

Glee is an expensive show due to recording sessions and choreography but I think song sales, merchandise and concerts make up those costs. I do wonder if it has syndication value as a lot of the songs are current and that will date it.

Fantastic for Eastenders last night and the Great British Bake Off last night. It's Very Embarrassing that the main commercial channel is beaten by BBC 2 But i suppose its good that 71 Degrees North didn't fall from Last week.
Tonight Coronation Street should get some very good ratings but it might catch people out as it's out of it's normal slot. |

Very strong rating for EE last night (8.8m). It always seem to get a good share in the Tuesday slot. Emmerdale posted a good rating too. Looks like the soaps are finally climbing back up now.
71DN did OK (up from last week), but its still poor and could do so much better in a decent slot, rather than been lumbered in the Tuesday "flop-zone". TBF did well to retain alot of its viewers from last week, but I predict it will fall further. TGBB also posted a very high figure. As for Shameless, I dread to think how low it will go next week for its 100th episode with a 105 minute run time!

...meaning True Blood is pushed back to the ridiculous time of 11:45pm.
Like the characters in that show, Channel 4 sucks. Still waiting for those chumps to show TBBT finale.

So after the joys of Red or Black earlier this month Simon Cowell will be serving up another show for ratings fans to obsess over tonight - The X Factor US launches on Fox and then on ITV2 Thursday night.
Anyone want to be brave and predict numbers? For reference sake the last season of American Idol (and for some reason that's become the bench mark for this) launched with 9.7 in the demo and 26.2 million viewers. |

US Finals - 20/09/2011
Link (TVbyTN): http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...d-down/104472/ NCIS (4.3) and DWTS: Results (2.9) were adjusted up a tenth. Body of Proof were down a tenth (2.2). Speaking of DWTS, why ABC airs some recap or "meet the cast" at 8pm is very beyond me. ABC must have very little confidence in the new Tuesday comedy block that they are opening up. I'm not sure if that should be worrying for Revenge, which premieres after a one-hour season opener of Modern Family tonight. They promoted the heck out of that show over the summer. Here is the quarterly breakdown of how The New Girl (their last minute ratings also) and Unforgettable did, via Travis Yanan. Quote:
THE New Girl
9:01-9:15 - 10.538 million viewers - 6.2/9 HH - 4.9/13 A18-49 9:15-9:30 - 9.992 million viewers - 5.9/9 HH - 4.7/12 A18-49 9:30-9:31 - 10.989 million viewers - 6.4/10 HH - 5.3/13 A18-49 Unforgettable 10:00-10:15 - 14.843 million viewers - 9.4/15 HH - 3.1/8 A18-49 10:15-10:30 - 14.168 million viewers - 9.1/15 HH - 2.9/7 A18-49 10:30-10:45 - 13.851 million viewers - 8.9/16 HH - 2.8/7 A18-49 10:45-11:00 - 13.479 million viewers - 8.6/15 HH - 2.7/7 A18-49 |

I do wonder whether the next series of Shameless will be the last because its only time before it falls below 1m.
It'll be interesting how Fresh Meat does but I don't have high hopes for it despite it being from the writers of Peep Show. |

Revenge is awful. At least I thought it was. It has some tough competition tonight though. CSI will have increased interest with the new lead and timeslot and SVU has basically an entirely new cast debuting tonight as well. It'll be interesting to see how that works out. |

A quick bit of Christmas TV news that I don't thinks been mentioned - Lenny Henry, Jasper Carrott and Griff Rhys Jones will have one-off specials on BBC One with old characters and star guests. Along the lines of last year's One Ronnie apparently. This is according to the Radio Times.

Having seen season 1 & 2 on E4 reading the snippets on Digital Spy about season 3 and seeing the couple of promos/sneak-peaks doesn't really make me care that it's on Sky now - and even if it does improve in terms of quality this year, I think the decline had already begun last season in terms of how the show is perceived and ultimately ratings will catch up with that.

Shameless hits 100 next week but the extended run time will surely knock off any benefit to be gained from that. It needs a season 4 style reboot (when the Maguires were introduced) next year to have any chance of making 22 hours of watchable TV. It used to be a cut above any UK drama, but now it's as mediocre at best. |

Shameless hits 100 the same night as CSI Miami hits 200 I think. Funny coincidence. Both shows past their peak, of course.

Good return for Rhod Gilbert, but a shame he was dumped in the later and post Lotto show 10.45pm slot. He did really good business on Mondays for series 1, so this is a demotion. It's a really funny and entertaining show, and informative too. Instead of grasping around for new Saturday evening shows, they should be grooming this one for Saturdays. Quote:

Edit: Also info here - http://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2011/0...ns_to_stand-up Seems odd to use "The One.." tag when that was obviously derived from The Two Ronnies. The One Carrott etc doesn't really work (confusingly there was once a BBC1 Carrott Christmas special called "One Jasper Carrott"). |

And for some reason, people have complained to Ofcom about the 'downbeat' sponsorship for Aviva with Downton Abbey: http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/r...032343.article

considering the programme itself showed someone being shot, thats a bit rich.
![]() The demographics are fascinating. I bet even Loose Women doesn't skew as heavily female as Downton does. We now know why ITV was so keen to bag 3 weeks of blanket coverage in the Daily Mail Saturday magazine - most of the audience is made up of Middle Britain retired females, there will be a real drop in the nation's home made jam output on Sundays between now and Christmas I suspect. Looking at those breakdowns, Downton looks like the TV equivalent of Cliff Richard playing to a packed house at the Womens Institute National Convention. |

Maybe it's because the dotty old females from the shires who make up much of the Downton audience can't understand why it has to have ad breaks when no other BBC1 programmes have them....

Will be massive I think, over a 10.0 in the demo. The amount of PR into it will only be justified with a huge number like that.

I see the BBC are going to court over a Strictly rip-off in Italy:

It will be interesting to see how it does on ITV2. I can see it launching with around 1.5m but dropping off quite dramatically. |

Nine can take heart, it isnt Ten
ABC 1 is great. Whatever "Eric Stonestreet's Modern Love" was, it should never have been on TV. |
