The votes are in and the people chose not to watch THE PEOPLES CHOICE AWARDS last night favoring instead a rerun of HOUSE, which looks to be just what the doctor ordered for FOX in the 8 o’clock hour, peaking at 4.1 rating with an 11 share. But it was a double dosing of the [...]

FOX BOWLED over the competition last night as the BCS BOWL scored big when nearl one in four televisions sets turned on last night were tuned into the FOX to watch the pigskin shuffle. But this isnt ESPN.com, this is TVgasm.com so moving on. . . at the Eight oclock hour nearly all shows tied [...]

Bad night for NBC last night. The return of THE APPRENTICE failed to get the job done for the peacock network and the highly hyped and moderately anticipated GREASE: YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I WANT, had a bad opening night as well. While the numbers for each were fairly respectable on the surface, each show [...]

Jennifer Love Hooters scored big on Friday to an ever growing and rigid fan base. The Friday 8pm market is a very hard one to get turned on to a newer show, but GHOST WHISPERER has proven to be the cream of the crop in the top night hour, surely stroking the ego of all [...]

The production company responsible for reality TV, are dipping their toe into the syndicated comedy pool. The company announced today, the greenlit co-pro of LAUGH OFF a stripped half hour competition pinning comics against comics to determine who is the winner of the days LAUGH OFF. From what I understand, it’s a king of the [...]

nearly 20% of all TVs turned on were tuned to CBS to investigate Grissoms fate on Thursdays return of CSI. The ads teased Grissom may leave the series for good, however TVgasm can now report that he is only leaving while he is in his third trimester and it was getting difficult on production to [...]

It’s always fun to discover a new good show. Last year was VH1′s Cant Get A Date this year is Discovery Channel’s It Takes A Thief. I don’t know how long this show has been on or how behind the times I am with this but I just stumbled onto in 3 days ago and [...]

Sugar is sweet for Rupert as the FOX network bent over every other network in key demos last night airing the SUGAR BOWL and SUGAR BOWL PRE-GAME SPECIAL in the prime time. NBC’s FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS fumbled the ball last night coming in next to last even losing to a rerun of TWO AND A [...]

What do you win the person who already has everything else this holiday season? A poster for The Last Kiss autographed by Rachel Bilson of course. THE LAST KISS hits DVD stands on December 26, 2006 and what better way to say, “I’m sorry I cheated on you, take me back baby” than with the [...]

Hi friends. Apologies for the lack of Nielsen ratings as of late. . . Due to the holidays my daily delivery has been delayed but will return in the new year. MYL

A&E acquired the syndication rights to the HBO smash hit THE SOPRANOS and starting in January 10th, 2007 you’ll finally be able to catch the curse filled show in all its censored glory. To promote the launch of the series on the new network, A&E is giving away a suitcase of cash loaded with $100,000. [...]

This week, on an episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, Las Vegas star Vanessa Marcil stopped by the studio and the two shared a wonderfully flirty conversation about … well Im not sure. Much like when I watch my guilty pleasure Las Vegas and Vanessa is on the screen, everything kinda mumbles together as I [...]

Twas some weeks before Christmas and all on tube, reruns rerunning, the networks nail us sans lube. SURVIVOR and THE OFFICE shot up the ratings like guns, easy to do when up against only reruns. At nine o’clock the reruns won the fight, beating out the crappy OC on it’s crappy new night. Ten was [...]

Looking for something to do on New Years? Trying to do New Years on a budget and only have money for a roundtrip ticket to Hawaii hotel stay, food and drink and miscellaneous entertainment? Can’t afford the generally overpriced cost of a Ruben Studdard concert? Do you hate your ears? If you answered yes to [...]

The biggest winner last night was NBC’s BIGGEST LOSER 2 hour finale. The viewership in key demos grew every half hour completely dominating the night even beating out the most amazing, incredibly spectacular, superbly acted CRIMINAL MINDS (not that Im playing favorites) which still showed a strong second pulling in nearly twice the ratings of [...]

People are still watching DEAL OR NO DEAL despite the fact that an all new HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER aired last night. Oh well, I won’t pretend to understand people, I just report on their daily viewing habits. The audience for TWO AND A HALF MEN is growing faster than the half man playing [...]

Surviving a strong showing from MY NAME IS EARL on Thursday was CBS’ SURVIVOR pulling in 15% of the market in major demos. Turns out a rerun of UGLY BETTY is a beautiful thing for the Disney network showing high marks and grabbing 3rd place for the house that Mickey built. One in five Americans [...]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, for the networks with old old old old shows to rerun. CBS fared well this friday with an airing of both RUDOLF THE RED NOSED REINDEER & FROSTY THE SNOWMAN nabbing the top spot in major demos. There is still little JUSTICE in the world, that the [...]

It was a night of repeats last night for CBS last night which generally means bottom slot of the ratings. Fortunately for the Chenbot network, the BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS sucked so hard or the FOX network, that CBS still managed the number three slot of the night with a solid 3.4/8 pulled in by the [...]

I hate people. Ok, that’s kind of a strong start to a daily ratings, true, but there is certainly a ratings injustice when an all new JUSTICE just barely edges out FIGURE SKATING ICE WARS. Right on track for ratings success was ABC with the network premier of THE POLAR BEAR EXPRESS taking the number [...]

SURVIVOR: COOK ISLANDS out rated the competition last night as it fell into the number one slot for the 8 o’clock hour peaking at a whopping 5.8 rating with a 14 share! All but dead is ‘TIL DEATH which, despite the humor and charm of Brad Garret can escape the lackluster lameness of Shitbreak. Making [...]

“Shhoooooowwww MEeeeeee The Moneeeeeyyyyy. Hello? Anyone there?” No Mr. Shitner, no one is there and no one is watching as last night you and your dancing girls plummeted into last place even behind the CW. THE C freakin’ W. Thats like hearing the fat kid in band got a to the prom and you didn’t. [...]

For those of you who haven’t had a chance to board the HEROES fan train and want to know what all the hubbub is about, tonight SCI FI will air the first 6 episodes back to back starting at 6/5C. Give it 2 episodes, if you aren’t hooked by then… then you want puppies to [...]

Who is watching NCIS? Is this the JAG audience, or the EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND crowd? It seems these shows ratings are so big and yet I have never met anyone in person who actually watches them. NCIS had a huge showing last night, but was kept at bay in the second place spot by A [...]

Oh what a Monday it was last night, shows were aired, people watched and when all was said and done there were few surprises. DEAL OR NO DEAL won its time slot, though THE CLASS which everyone gives me $#!t for watching pulled an impressive 3.1/9 despite going up against DOD & PRISON BREAK. HEROES [...]

GHOSTs whispered, NUMB3RS counted SATURDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL scored big and once again the botox laden thin skins of Wisteria Lane grabbed the eyes of the masses this weekend. Making for a heavily watched holiday weekend of TV. Also worth mentioning about these ratings….Reba is still on the air? Seriously? Wow. Like, Reba n stuff. Catch [...]

Survivor was cooking up viewers last week as people, clearly thankful for a heaping portion of Probst, tuned in to watch two tribes become one and all the such and such crappedy crap that followed. Despite the surge in ratings for UGLY BETTY since it went on the air, when pinned up against hot chicks [...]

Last week, a lot of folk were traveling and very few stood by their TV sets as shown by the overall low numbers on Wednesday night. The alphabet scored decent ratings for such a low numbered night with their Shitner helmed SHOW ME THE MONEY, but was still edged out by the circular story telling [...]

Last nights big winner of the AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS was the show itself and music was certainly in the air for ABC who walked away with the top spot of the 8 o’clock hour, but was not able to bring down the HOUSE, which beat out the AMAs for leading show at 9 o’clock and [...]

Dealing out the top spot in the 8pm hour was peacock employee and germaphobe Howie Mandel and the ladies of Deal or No Deal escaping the lead of former break out FOX hit Prison Break, which has stumbled to the number two slot. Saving the day for NBC in the 9 o’clock, HEROES, which promised [...]

With all the hubbub surrounding the Michael Richards’ rant at The Laugh Factory, it was only a matter of time before Jesus Christ chimed in. This isn’t the first time TVgasm has received word from Jesus on current events but it is a first that he appears before us in video form to ensure nothing [...]

The only story from Saturday night was that Saturday Night College Football reigned supreme, as ABC sacked the competition in every hour of prime-time. Sunday night showed a little more competition for the alphabet network, but building a strong audience in the second half hour last night was ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition with CBS, [...]

Friday proved to be a big DEAL for the NBC folk as Deal or no deal just barely edged out Jennifer Love Breastststs in the 18-49 Neilsen demographic. Las Vegas’ friday night gamble is paying off well this season, grabbing the number one spot in its time slot and the verdict is in on LAW [...]

Remember back in the day when The OC was a show people cared about? I admit, I never really got into it but it seems to me the death of Mischa Barton may not have been the best thing for the survival of the show in the ratings which last night nearly lost to The [...]

How do I read the ratings? A Nielson rating may look like this: 8pm – NBC – TVgasm The TV Show – 10.0/18 Focus on the 10.0/18. The RATING, 10.0, on the left represents the actual number of households that watched a show. One rating point equals 1,102,000 households. The SHARE, 18, on the right [...]

Tis the month of Tenacious D. The Jack Black & Kyle Gass project, which found its following on its short lived HBO Series of the same name, invades November with a killer soundtrack, and a so-so movie. To help get the word out, TVgasm will be giving away 2 Tenacious D prize packs including the [...]
