2006/2007 TV Season Ratings Report – Week 21 (2/5/07-2/11/07)

News

This past week A LOT of people were watching TV. This is probably the first week where all of the top ten shows of the week pulled in a three-digit rating. In fact, there were 12 shows like that. Meaning that there was not enough room to go around for some shows. Would we see an upset this week or more of the same? Find out as we “sweep” our way through February…

CBS DOMINATES this week as usual, minus Tuesday and Wednesday, which belong to American Idol and FOX. That’s good enough to keep FOX in second. But only barely as ABC was able to come up and tie NBC for third place this week. I’ve heard that UNIVISION may be beating The CW for fifth place overall as well.

Top shows look just the same. CBS got extra help from the Grammy Awards this week, but it wasn’t needed. In fact, if CBS didn’t even try to air any shows on two nights this past week, it would have STILL won the week. That’s how much they dominated this week. Stay tuned to see if anything changes next week…

I'm not embarrassed to say that my favorite television show of all-time is The O.C. I live by the motto "you can't fight fate!" More importantly, I watch WAY too much television, but I do so for the benefit of everyone reading this now. So to my mom and my wife, I say thanks for reading! To everyone else that might stumble across this, remember TiVo should be your best friend!
