RATINGS RAT RACE: ‘Extreme Makeover’, ‘Secret Millionaire’ Up, ‘Dateline’ Down

That was followed by a two-hour Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition (1.5/4) which was also up 25% from the previous week.

RATINGS RAT RACE: Olympic Trials Hit Decade High, ‘Extreme Makeover’ & ‘Secret Millionaire’ Fall To New Lows
It was all Olympics all night Sunday and NBC earned a gold. The live athletics started off with the U.S. Olympic Team Trials: Track and Field Finals (1.4/5) at 7 PM, which was down 7% from the track and field trials on July 6, 2008. Then it was the Swimming Finals (2.1/7), which was up 5% from the July 6, 2008 edition. In fast nationals, Sunday’s swimming trials were the second-most-watched Olympic trials telecast since August 20, 2000, with an estimated 7.7 million overall viewers. The U.S. Olympic Team Trials: Gymnastics Women’s Final (3.2/9) from San Jose, CA ran from 9-11:05 PM and pulled in 9.9 million viewers overall last night, according to fast national estimates. This year’s gymnastics finals were up 60% from the one that ran from 7-9 PM on June 22, 2008. NBC won the night in adults 18-49 and total viewers. Read More »
RATINGS RAT RACE: Olympic Trials Down From 2008, ‘Dateline’ Flat
It wasn’t the NBA Finals or golf’s U.S. Open, but there was world-class sports in primetime on Sunday. NBC had the second day of the U.S. Olympic Trials: Track & Field (1.2/4) from Eugene, Ore.’s Hayward Field. Though they pulled in 4.5 million viewers overall, this year’s Sunday night trials were down 20% from 2008′s comparable coverage. A new Dateline (1.2/4) followed, mostly flat with the news magazine’s show two weeks ago. The rest of NBC’s night was dual America’s Got Talent repeats at 9 PM (1.2/3) and 10 PM (1.2/3). On ABC, there was a different kind of exertion, with a two-hour Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition (0.9/2) repeat. ABC began the night with repeats of America’s Funniest Home Videos (1.0/4) at 7 PM and Secret Millionaire (1.1/3) at 8 PM. NBC took the night among adults 18-49; CBS won in overall viewers.

RATINGS RAT RACE: ‘Secret Millionaire’ & ‘Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss’ Premieres Down; ‘Miss USA’ Falls
ABC’s dual premieres and the Miss USA pageant all took a hit Sunday night. The 8 PM Season 3 debut of Secret Millionaire (1.5/5) on ABC was down 56% from last year’s in-season premiere.

Broadcast live, Miss USA drew in just more than 6.1 million viewers. NBC took the night among adults 18-49.

Another Summer To Forget For The Broadcast Networks
What do American Idol, Dancing With the Stars, Survivor, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, Hell’s Kitchen, Big Brother, So You Think You Can Dance, America’s Got Talent and Wipeout have in common? They are broadcast TV’s biggest reality franchises of the past decade. And they all launched in the summer. Summer used to be a time for the networks to try out innovative reality formats that had never been done on the Big 4 broadcast nets (ballroom dancing or singing competitions, shows about castaways on an island or strangers locked in a house) or had been gone from primetime for a long time (game shows). Now the broadcast networks are throwing on retreads of over-exposed formats from June through August, so it’s no surprise that nothing has stuck since Wipeout launched on ABC in June 2008. A slew of newcomers came and went over the past three months: ABC’s Expedition Impossible, Take the Money & Run, Karaoke Battle USA and 101 Ways To Leave a Game Show; CBS’ Same Name, NBC’s Love In the Wild and the similar It’s Worth What?; and Buried Treasure on Fox. The only new offering on broadcast to show a pulse this summer was ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition, helped by a solid lead-in and the fact that it is an offshoot of a popular franchise. Things looked as bleak on the scripted side, with ABC’s Combat Hospital, Fox’s sketch comedy In the Flow With Affion Crockett and NBC’s burnoff Love Bites barely registering. Read More »
