Nielson Ratings Overnights -- May 1, 2007

Ratings-Tm-3-56 Tuesday night and you should know by now who has won. FOX comes in first with American Idol having 10.6/28. Final 6, so what would you expect?

FOX also takes second place with House having 9.0/23. Third place was CBS’s Law and Order SVU having 4.2/12. And rounding out forth place was ABC’s Dancing With the Stars: Results having 4.1/10

My Two Cents:

Sorry to all those who love American Idol, but I find it difficult to believe that these are the six best entertainers in America. They're OK, but come on! They're like good Karaoke singers at best.

For the complete ratings from last night and who won the night (in key demos), stick around after the jump. . .

How do I read these ratings?

A Nielsen 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 represents the show's proportion of the total households watching television at that time.

For example, TVgasms TV Show has a 10 rating/18 share. That means 11,020,000 households are tuned in to the show and 18% of all the households with a TV turned on are watching that show.

Ratings and Share are customarily broken down for various DEMOs -- a demographic grouping of viewers, like 18-49 adults or 2-12 children or 18-34 women, etc. Advertisers, and therefore networks, covet the 18-49 adult demo, and so tend to concentrate on that number.

You're halfway there. You fixed "Neil" so it's "Niel", now just make "son" into "sen" and you'll have it. You can do it, kronus, you can do it!
