Simpsons Ratings 2009/10

[Jesse Pinkman]

Well i'm happy to say I never watched the Cleveland Show

not a lot of people on here do

[BartSimpsonfan17]

unless the writing takes a major overhaul {becomes actually humorous} i pray this is the final season

If things don't change after the last episode than I think I hope for that as well

[D'ohmer]

I hope the show never ends because I think it's currently great, but that will never happen because all good things have to come to an end.

[Jesse Pinkman]

it's looking as if next season could be last, if ratings are like this. the only thing i want is a GOOD finale, i don't want them to be unexpectedly canceled and the final episode be Homer getting another job or something, i want the whole family to have big roles

[D'ohmer]

Didn't that happen with King of the Hill?

[Jesse Pinkman]

it might have been similar ya. the only thing in the king of the hill finale that made it feel like a finale was like the last scene or two, and i hope simpsons don't do that

[D'ohmer]

So they might tack on something quick if they ever had to abruptly cancel it.

[Jesse Pinkman]

which is precisely what i don't want. i see a lot of people disliking it {besides the "True Fans!" who say "Yes the only sign this was the finale was the last minute, but it was damn good!"}. of course it's too early to tell...

[D'ohmer]

I would never say that. I think the finale will be better than that.

[BartSimpsonfan17]

If there ever was a finale season, I'd want Bart to defeat Bob once and for all They've done so many ideas for Bart V.S Bob but I'm hopping for a more darker episode for the finale Bob/Bart episode. But yah, if ratings keep dipping than who knows. Fox could randomly decide to end it.

[BartSimpsonfan17]

Ouch, that wasn't even past a couple of episodes.

[Squeaky Voiced Teen]

good that show sucks

[biffwestwood]

The Sunday night schedule on FOX is now getting retooled.

[Jesse Pinkman]

i never gave sons a chance, but it didn't look very good...

[apbuitron]

It seems unlikely that Fox would send the show off with anything less than a giant promotional bang.

[biffwestwood]

The futon critic has the following news on Sundays schedule

http://thefutoncritic.com/news/2010/...s-sunday/8606/

It suggests that for the next seven weeks we will get two back-to-back episodes of The Simpsons (One repeat followed by one new episode)

During the summer we will get reruns only of animation and probably a mixture of originals and reruns of live action sitcoms.

For someone residing in Zürich, you care an awful lot for American ratings.
So how does that work anyway? What means 3.40? 3 400 000 viewers I guess.
And that 1.4/5 is that some sort of appreciation scale from the viewers?

1.4 is the percentage of 18-49 year old Americans with a Tv that were watching the episode and and the 5 is the percentage of 18-49 year-old Americans watching TV at that time that watched the show. 3.4 means 3 million and 400,000 viewers, yes.

I never realised FG outnumbered the Simpsons in viewership in such a big way.

[Fox Executive]

what matters to advertisers is the 18-49 audience and there, FG is beating the fucking shit out of the Simpsons.

Last Sunday's ratings:

3:00 - Simpsons (r) - 3.40 (#4) - 1.4/5 (#4)
8:30 - Cleveland (r) - 3.69 (#4) - 1.7/5 (#4)
9:00 - FamGuy (r) - 4.61 (#4) - 2.2/6 (#4)
9:30 - Tucson - 3.13 (#4) - 1.4/4 (#4)

Why were the ratings so low? Is it just because they're all repeats, so Fox didn't advertise?

[Real Melvin]

repeats + Easter Sunday

[Capt Hammer]

SIMPSONS characters sing along to Ke$ha’s smash hit “TiK ToK.”

Where's that smilie that commits suicide? Oh well, this will do:

[Agent Polar]

Easter Sunday

Oh, yeah.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

How's the advertising for this week's episode?

[Fox Executive]

yeah, i would also like to know that.

[Fox Executive]

Last Sunday's results:

7:30 - Simpsons (r) - 2.491 (#4) - 1.1/4 (#3)
8:00 - Simpsons - 5.649 (#3) - 2.7/8 (#2)
8:30 - Cleveland - 5.454 (#3) - 2.6/8 (#2)
9:00 - FamGuy - 6.920 (#3) - 3.4/9 (#2)
9:30 - American Dad - 5.078 (#4) - 2.4/6 (#3)

Fox didn’t have much good news on Sunday night either, as The Simpsons was flat from its last original episode (3/28) with a 2.7 adults 18-49 rating, and The Cleveland Show was down 7% from its last original (3/28) to a 2.6 rating. Family Guy was down 11% from its last original (3/28) to a 3.4 rating. In its return to Sunday night, American Dad was down 14% from its last original (2/21) to a 2.4 rating, but that was about 25% better than the now canceled Sons Of Tucson in the timeslot.

Well, at least for OFF, that was pretty good news.

[biffwestwood]

Fortunately FOX decided to burn off episodes of that sitcom zombie (I mean living impaired) known as 'Til Death one episode at a time instead of two and instead show a Simpsons repeat before the new Simpsons episode.

Despite "American History X-cellent" being the fourth lowest watched episode of all time, maybe those Simpsons repeats will keep ratings from crashing.
