Nielsen Fast Nationals From Fri-Sun, June 29-31, 2007

ABC comes in first with 20/20 having 2.0/7. CW’s WWE Friday Night Smackdown comes in second with 1.5/6. CBS’s Numbers comes in third with 1.5/5.

For Saturday, ABC comes in first with America’s Funniest Home Videos (premiere) having 1.6/6. FOX comes in second & third with Cops having 1.5/7 and America’s Most Wanted having 1.4/6. Do you think that Nielsen accounts for the fact that some of these viewers are just making sure that they’re not being raided?

For Sunday, FOX comes in first and second with two of my favorite shows on air Family Guy having 2.7/8 and Simpsons having 2.4/8. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I finally win. Now, if they could make a 3D animated version of Star Trek — heck, they could edit out all of Shatner’s pauses, but there’s something about thoses pauses that I love. Ok, back to work — slave. Coming in third was NBC with Concert for Diana (special) having 2.3/7. And coming in forth, ABC with America’s funniest Home Videos having 1.9/7.

I’ve been giving you guys more information than ever but in word format rather than charts. However, still no comments — c’ya on 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.
