Summer Week 17 Sitcom Ratings (Last Week of Summer!)
Last Sunday Sitcoms (counts for week of Sept 7-13)
- The Simpsons (Fox) - preempted.
- King of the Hill (Fox) 2 episodes - The final two episodes on Fox did 6.26 and 6.04 million after NFL. Not bad, could be better. 18-49 rating was decent of a 3.0 and 2.9.
- Family Guy (Fox) - Repeat only did 4.98 million and a below normal 2.4 18-49 rating.
- American Dad! (Fox) - Repeat only did 4.02 million and a 1.9 18-49 rating.
Monday Sitcoms
- How I Met Your Mother
- Two and a Half Men (CBS) - Only 6.62 million for a repeat on at a delayed time of 9:41pm in the east/central. Season premiere is tomorrow for this show as well!
- The Big Bang Theory (CBS) - 6.64 million for a repeat at a delayed time of 10:12pm in the east/central. 2.2 18-49 rating is below normal, but the weird time in the east/central is the reason for that. Season premiere is tomorrow. Can it do a series high of a 5.0 or more in 18-49? We shall see.
- None.
- Old Christine (CBS) - Only 4.2 million for a repeat. The season premiere is this Wednesday but it will have a tough time vs. a special Dancing with the Stars: The Results Show on a special night and time.
- Gary Unmarried (CBS) - 4.01 million for a repeat of this sitcom. I am not sure why this show was brought back.
- Parks & Recreation (NBC) - The season premiere did only 4.89 million, that is down 29% from its series premiere in April. It was also down 30% in 18-49 from its series premiere. This show is going to have a tough time.
- The Office (NBC) - A solid season premiere doing 8.21 million and a 4.1 18-49 rating, but that also was down from last year's season premiere of 9.39 million and a much better 4.9 18-49 rating. I think the show has peaked.
- Community (NBC) - The series premiere got off to a promising start with 7.91 million and a 3.8 18-49 rating, holding a good portion of its lead-in. If it can maintain these numbers for the next few weeks, NBC will take it...but the competition gets much much harder this week. This premiere however was down from 30 Rock's season premiere of 8.73 million last year, but that was Sarah Palin affected.
Friday Sitcoms
- None.
- The Office (NBC) - Encore of Thursday's season premiere only did a prelim 1.9 million, not good.
- Community (NBC) - Encore of Thursday's premiere only did 1.64 million...also not good.
See you next week for the new season!
