DVR Viewers STILL Love Desperate Housewives - And The Office Too!

Started by Robert Seidman · 1 year ago

Once again, the most popular show after both airings of American Idol was Desperate Housewives.  The Office was fourth that week, with a little less DVR viewing than normal because it was not up against a new CSI or a new Grey’s Anatomy (as a result, you’ll notice neither of those shows is on the […] ...

    Yea! for New Amsterdam! It's 8-ep. run had a consistant and high-level of DVR viewing and it continues to be the most viewed series on Fox.com. It's been overshadowed in the "bubble" talk by shows like Eli Stone, Moonlight and Women's Murder Club, but it has really held its own. Please renew, super pronto!

    Lots of folks ask us if network executives look at DVR numbers when deciding on series renewal. My guess is if they don't consider them directly, we can be pretty sure that many highly DVR'd shows are an indicator of relatively young, affluent viewing groups.

    While we don't have income viewing statistics ourselves, be certain that the networks do and that they are very important to them.

    Just a general question: Why do you post C7 instead of C3? Are the C3 stats confidential?

    We do not post C anything because we don't get the commercial data. We do get the LIVE+7 data. There is no LIVE+3 provided by Nielsen (to us, anyway) so we can't post it.

    The Office is also number one this week. (and all weeks it airs a new episode) on HULU

    But 30 Rock is #5 and BSG is #6 on Hulu for the week. Without the raw numbers, and some similar "average use" (vs. number of streams launched) it's all pretty meaningless.

    I have no problem with people continuing to chime in with "it's #1 on iTunes and/or Hulu" but without the actual numbers, there's not much to make of it. My theory on why they publish no numbers is this: they aren't very big (relative to TV audience). I'll continue to speculate that's the case until they start publishing the numbers!

    Robert, I'm sure you're right on the hulu/itunes numbers. If they were big, they'd brag. I read that at the end of the beta that hulu had 5 million unique users. I'm sure that number is bigger now and doesn't include the network sites. Online usage is signficant
