US: Ratings compared to last season

Hmmmmm, I dont think those breaks are doing them any favours

Ouch! :eek:

Ratings were pretty good but episode 15 is just dire.. where'd you get this chart, PullMyFinger? Would be interested in seeing how official it is?

Those 15 - 19 ratings just look a bit too fishy to me.

It looks pretty kosher from what Ive read on ratings so far. Think I found it on a thread over at thefulselage Basq.

wasn't ep15 the ep of the recap of claire? coz that was probably the best episode of both series...what the hell?

Yep... but the answer to the poor ratings for that episodes is simple:

2X14 15 Feb 06 One of Them
2X15 1 Mar 06 Maternity Leave
2X16 22 Mar 06 The Whole Truth

3 weeks gap between new episodes before and after 'Maternity Leave'

god the schedulers must be trying real hard to make this happen

hopefully this will give both the writers and schedulers the much needed kick up the hole they badly need to make them go on to deliver the full potential this storyline has to offer.

I remember being pissed at I think it was episode 11 this series, and then felt that ep 12 (the one where charlie has the religious visions?) was just about the last straw and I posted here at the time that that episode would cost them viewers...I keep giving the show second and fifth chances, but IF these ratings are correct it seems plenty of others voted with their feet.

this must happen to most shows every year if there all run spread along with gaps like this

Regardless of dips and peaks it remains in the Nielson Top Ten which is what matters.

Basq

Yeah.. American's feckin' lap up 'American Idol'

But Jesus... there is no justice in the world when both 'Two And a Half Men' and 'Desperate Housewives' are making the top 10! :eek:

The breaks are killing it, they really are.
I remember watching episode 9 before Christmas and that was only 10 episodes ago.
