Don't stop there. Even the Office, while pulling a solid demo rating for a repeat, was no where near old NBC Thursday shows repeated.

Which is why it will never be the hit other programs are, but it is a decent performer for CBS.

A 2.0 for a displaced repeat, at 8pm, against American idol is Terrible?
It was #2 for the hour.

Just because it doesn't get the "oh so important" demo, it still does better ratings then most programs like Grey's, and is usually around the top 10 in ratings.

Thank you TV-aholic for setting up this Unofficial Daily Game on 'NAPOLEON DYNAMITE'. It is very easy to make an entry at your website.

MyNetworkTV has very high expectations for this movie. For the past month, it has been running about a dozen 10-30 second promo bumpers for 'NAPOLEON DYNAMITE' saturated across their primetime schedule and all affiliate dayparts.


Miss Tina Majorino and Mr. Jon Heder boogie on down in a key scene from 'NAPOLEON DYNAMITE'

These are repeat numbers for NBC comedies vs. originals of CW's top show. Wait at least until originals before you make claims like this. Roll Eyes

I find it humorous that TV-aholic is bashing Earl and bragging about how well Criminal Minds did when Earl only lost to Criminal Minds by 0.2 in the demo.

So just for the record, a 2.0 demo repeat for a show that pulls in high 3 demos isn't terrible, yet a show like MNIE pulls in a 1.8 in repeat out of a mid 2 demo show is terrible? Confused

and Supernatural (Viewers: #5, 3.57 million; A18-49: #5, 1.6/ 4).


I'm very happy to see Supernatural clawing it's way back to fall numbers. Going against repeats definitely helped, but hopefully it can hang on to some of those viewers.

I agree. CBS shows aren't likely to win the demos. Their strength is in overall viewers and the 25 to 54 demo.

That's true. However, it would be hard to find any timeslot (outside if AI) on any network that wouldn't show catastrophic drops from the viewer levels acheived in the 1990s.

I would also be remiss if I didn't point out that the repeat demo for The Office and (SAG award winning/Golden Globe award winning/Emmy award winning) 30 Rock are at the same height of a typical original version of forum favorite Old Christine. Wink

But even with repeat numbers, the Big 4 should be beating the lowly CW, eve if it is there top rated series.

A big 4 network should not have under 4 million viewers on a thursday In January, even if they are repeat episodes.

Ah, I see. This is just one of those CBS 'viewer number' claims to brag. Sheesh, Criminal Minds beat the lowly CW by 0.3 in the demo. If Earl beating CW Network by only 0.1 makes Earl a loser, then CM is a loser as well.
