Nielsen Fast Nationals From Monday, July 9, 2007

Monday night’s ratings. FOX comes in first with Hell’s Kitchen having 3.8/10. Not far behind in second was CBS’s Two and a Half Men having 2.6/7. Coming in third was NBC’s Dateline NBC having 2.5/7. And coming in forth was ABC’s Wife Swap having 2.2/7. You could consider CBS’s CSI:Miami as coming in forth with 2.4/7, but it was a repeat.

Catch around after the jump, with a bunch of info, but remember, they are not charts and you are getting sleepy, very sleepy — Why don’t hypnotists have their patients/victims sign over the deeds to their property? Is it because they’re really not under and are just waiting for the hypnotist to attempt to fondle them? Hmm? I ponder these cosmic questions everyday. . .

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.
