I don’t think anything could have beat CSI last night with Justin Beiber on it.
I enjoyed the episode, specially Jim and Pam. Really looking forward to the rest of the season.
I loved it and had a great time on the OTCR. So fun!
[from tanster: awesome!]
[from tanster: thanks!]
What do TO usually get ratings wise? I’m rubbish with these. Best episode in FOREVER!!
These ratings are incorrect. TO rose in the finals to a 4.4, very good for a 5 1/2 year old show! Compare that to last year’s finale which has a 3.3 in the valued 18-49 demo. It also rose 4 points from last year’s premiere. Compare that to:
30 Rock: 2.6
Community: 2.2
Big Bang Theory: 4.8
[from tanster: saw that, thanks! :) ]
Tough to get good rating when you go against baseball playoffs. This happens every October.
Very glad to see a nice increase in number of viewers, especially on a night when the episode was so great!
I find it hard to believe Grey’s has more viewers than the Office. I didn’t even know that show was still on and I don’t know anyone who even watches it.
Season high 18-49! It was a great episode too, so maybe the ratings will stay that high. They might even climb as we get closer to Steve’s final episodes. :(
All of the shows seem to be down this week. It’s too bad since TLM was so good.
Wow, I’m surprised that The Office was behind Bones. It’s funny though because I know many, many people (like me!) who love both The Office and Bones.
I love The Office and Bones too, but I always watch The Office. I catch Bones online.
I like Bones as well. But The Office always takes first priority. I’m surprised it came in 3rd.
I truly think that if the Office didn’t go on such long hiatuses it would have about another million viewers. I know many people who didn’t watch last night because they didn’t know it was a new episode. I don’t watch a lot of network tv but i’m guessing a lot of shows do this?
5th-highest audience total of the season for Training Day = a bump but not a flood of new viewers who tuned in for 1 reason (Will Ferrell’s debut). Probably the case that the viewers who love both Ferrell and this show were already watching or DVRing. I’m curious what the 50-minute super-Carell-finale’s ratings will be. I hope it cracks eight figures.
The Office was adjusted upwards in the final ratings — 4.0 A18-49 and 7.87 million viewers!
Also, Bones was adjusted down to a 3.5 A18-49, giving The Office first place in the timeslot in the key demo!
[from tanster: saw that. awesome!]
Woohoo! First place! We win! (and we only had to sacrifice the show’s main character to do it…) Oh, well. “It just feels good to win one.”
It amazes me how some of the funniest episodes, like Dwight K. Schrute Acting Manager, and Michael’s Last Dundies, get low ratings, yet unfunny episodes like Training Day get high ones. I think The Inner Circle ruined DKSAM from getting higher ratings.
