Nielsen Fast Nationals From Wednesday, June 13, 2007

FOX comes in first with So You Think You Can Dance having 4.0/12. Also, FOX comes in second with So You Think You Can Dance having 3.5/12 in the 8 o’clock hour. NBC comes in third with Last Comic Standing (premiere) having 3.2/9.

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

Why can’t things be like the old days when you could rip something off without someone bitching about it. I guess those days never really existed and I’m actually still the only one bitching. OK. As some of you know, we are no longer allowed to display the charts of the Nielsen ratings, but we can display them in a form of analysis, which I’m pretty sure that’s what I’ve been doing for the first section and no one has bitched about that. We’ll they’ve bitched, but it wasn’t because I was doing something that I wasn’t supposed to do. Anyways!

What was I doing again? Oh yeah! Seven of nine has the most perfect set of colar bones — no, that’s not what I was doing. Nielsen! Yes, I have it now. That’s right, Nielsen stuff.

Remember this is not a chart that you are seeing below, just a list. No, it’s not the same thing and hopefully no one will see this.

See it wasn’t really a table, but that’s who came in forth. God, just thinking of NY makes want to start cursing at someone. I love that town. I didn’t even have to try to pick up women, they did all the work. I kind felt like a slave toy/dog — rollover. No, I will not comment on my political stances concerning the way NYC government was run. Uhm

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.
