Why? Are you saying you don't buy into the excuse that it is the result of the debate coverage? Fans of CSI should be glad for fewer in season reruns. At least, fewer airing on Thursdays. There will likely still be plenty on Saturday.
And on Tuesday and Sunday once the curse takes out Without a Trace and the Unit bombs after the incompatible Cold Case.
All Are Welcome to Play the July Sweep Prediction Game
Summer is well under way and that means the July Sweep Prediction Game is just days away from starting. For many, the July Sweep is the forgotten Sweep as it comes during the sleepy days of summer. Nevertheless, the networks always ratchet up their game a bit in July, fixing problem timeslots and bringing in specials to help their numbers. This year, the July Sweep runs from Thursday July 3rd to Wednesday July 30th.
You may be wondering how did the networks fare in the July Sweep last season? Here are the results from last season:
2007 July Sweep Results
Ranked on A18-49 (000,000's of 2+ Viewers)
-------------------
FOX 2.2 (5.721)
CBS 1.8 (6.342)
NBC 1.8 (5.639)
ABC 1.5 (4.613)
CW 0.7 (1.942)
MNT 0.4 (0.997)
So now it's your turn to predict the outcome of the July Sweep.
Using the template within the pifeedback folder at the link above, all you have to do is state your predicted viewer and A18-49 averages for each of the six networks.
As the Sweep progresses, check under last nights results for my nightly Sweep reporting to see how you are faring with your prediction.
When the sweep is over, the game will be scored so that the person who was closest at predicting the 12 Sweep result numbers will join Zedman2 (February Sweep winner) and Dumont (May Sweep winner) in the Sweep Master Club.
My 2008 July Sweep Prediction is:
