I think a certain poster who shares a name with a diet is eating a healthy dose of crow now.

The linked article is saying that it pulled 4's and 5's. Aren't the overnights reporting 8+'s? Do they really drop off THAT much from the overnights to the final numbers?

Casey, you're our ratings guru, do you want to speak to this?

Easy. Those are 18-49 numbers. Don't you know they're the only people who count?

Okay, disclaimer: I'm 54.

Now you have to start thinking how to program it (another stunt like this week, maybe over a longer period), or if they give it a regular timeslot, when to put it on....If you do a regular timeslot, I would think Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday at 8 would be the best times. They have time to think about this, but I would imagine they would make a decision before the Olympics (so they can promote it during them)..

Is THAT it. Wow. And they didn't even qualify that in the article, aside from the throwaway "major ratings groups."

Hmm, my initial thought was that they might try to bring it back in Feburary for sweeps, but that shows you what I know...

Yes, because NBC is a mite bit busy in February. Something going on in Italy, I haven't heard very much about it...

Yeah, but, Torino is only a 2 week affair....and NBC still has plenty of dreck to fill the sched for the other 2 weeks of sweeps....
