Well, that puts to rest all the "Lost is the most DVRed show" stuff.

Here are the Live +7 Numbers for Lost's Premiere on Jan 31
Any info on which 2 shows did better in the timeshift than Lost? Is there a timeshift list somewhere?
There is a list, of top 20, but tvbythenumbers has not published the list yet. I did post the question on Lost on their board and they did pass along the info above. I wouls suspect a full list will be out Monday. Seems the person in charge is out on vacation this past week.

Don't be fooled ... the Super Bowl and Academy Awards were both moved into February for sweeps.
Sure...and how much more did the networks all agree to pay in order to air the Superbowl one week later?
The Super Bowl was moved back a week for 2 reasons. 1) The NFL wants to have the two weeks between the Conference Championship games and the Super Bowl. 2) The NFL does not Kick off the Season until the sunday AFTER Labor Day. With both of those points needed, it places the Super Bowl back a week from what was the "Normal" last sunday of January date from the past.

While the ratings have yet to impress us here, looks like NBC isn't ready to give up on Lipstick Jungle just yet. NBC orders 6 more scripts for Lipstick Junglequote: After three segs, “Lipstick” has averaged a 2.6 rating/7 share among adults 18-49. Show is tops in its Thursday night 10 p.m. slot with women 18-49 and women 18-34.

I wonder were NBC will place it once ER comes back. A little surprised at the addtional episodes given the poor ratings the series has gotten so far. quote: Originally posted by Holly: While the ratings have yet to impress us here, looks like NBC isn't ready to give up on Lipstick Jungle just yet.

The viewer numbers are low, but the demo numbers are better than about half of the shows NBC had this season. And I suppose it makes more sense to add on a couple more episodes of LJ than try to restart Life or Chuck for a month. Of course, if the numbers keep dropping like they have been, there's no guarantee those episodes will see the light of day. |

The SB used to be in the last week of January, and the first Feb SB was in 2002, but in 2003, in was Jan. 26, but after that the last 5 have been in February. So I wonder if they asked to push it back into Feb so it would be included into the sweeps period.
I think the move to a Feb. Superbowl had more to do with the NFL breaking each conference into 4 divisions, rather than 3 (and adding the bye week so that each team had some mid-season rest). It may have benefitted TV, but it was not done for TV. Just like adding extra playoff teams in football or baseball, it is done to make the league/teams money, not to benefit TV.
Yeah, right. Just like the Academy's justification for moving the Oscar Awards to the last Sunday in February was a response to the proliferation of award shows and an effort to tighten up the period between nominations announced and awards given. It really had nothing to do with helping out longtime broadcaster ABC with their February Sweep numbers.
If I were ABC, I'd be fighting for that Thur.-Sat. night package later in the season that's being wasted on the NFL network, that about 40% of the country can get.
Mushu, we keep having the same ideas-- I've thought that ABC should have gone after the Thurs-Sat NFL package ever since it was announced that they'd start providing it. However, I agree with the other poster that it would be extremely difficult for the NFL to part with it, because they created it almost exclusively to draw viewers to their NFL Network. But I'm sure if they were creative they'd come up with a way to convince the NFL it would work for the good of the league. If they can't get these, I recommend they go after either the AFC or NFC Sunday afternoon games, whenever those contracts are up for renewal with CBS and FOX respectively. |

As long as the main part of the ABC schedule is geared towards the Women 18-49 demo, you will not see then go for an NFL Package. If anything, they would go back after the MNF/SNF package. But, they are out of the NFL business for a while, espcially since they also have ESPN in the corporate family.

I agree that if they stick to W18-49 they won't try to go after the NFL package. But they already seem to be realizing they targeted too narrowly, as their development slate seems to have broader appeal, with only a couple of shows targeted mainly for women (Cupid and Leap), and several of their most buzzworthy shows being broader or even male-skewing: Life on Mars and Section 8. Like NBC, CBS, and FOX before them, they have or will realize that you can't be a successful Big-4 network without some sort of NFL package. |

Sorry I missed out on the fun--well, actually I was having a lot more fun. Had Friday off from work due to the snow.  Eli Stone has 'stabilized' below the numbers it needs to get renewed. Glad to see we're all on the same page about this. Sorry some people still don't see what a contrived colorless cliche piece of cheese this show is. DIE ELI DIE!!!  |

That's because they keep putting crap behind Lost. And in fact, Eli Stone is posting lower ratings than many other Lost lead-outs of the past. Dead show walking! |
