TV By The Numbers(TVBTN) is a web site run by Bill Gorman and Robert Seidman. They track the ratings for television show and based on those, prognosticate about the shelf life of various shows. The focus is on network shows because hard data is available due to the Neilsen Ratings. For further explanations of what the site is all about head over to the site where they explain everything.
In regards to Chuck, Mel interviewed Robert Seidman which you can listen to in Podcast 34. In that interview Robert answered some common ratings questions and talked about what kind of numbers Chuck needs to go past the third season.
Leading up to the premiere of Chuck, TVBTN has gotten its hands on some pretty cool Chuck swag. As per the site the prizes are most excellent:
There are the season one and two comic books, which are probably pretty rare collectibles since each are autographed by all nine of the principal actors. Then there’s an authentic Chuck tie and Buy More pocket protector (with a couple of pens, natch).
So head over to this link at TVBTN and join in on the fun and a chance to win some Chuck memorabilia!
So if I understand the simple jest of it the ratings live plus same day DVR viewing is still only the Neilson (sp) pollsters. If I watched the show again on DVR before 3:00am it wouldn’t count. Is that correct ? It was a very entertaining podcast thanks for sharing
So the jest of it is the rating numbers are live plus same day DVR viewing before 3:00am same day by Neilsen (sp) pollsters. If I watched the episode on DVR before 3:00am would not count correct ? (I’m not in the family)
It was a very informative podcast thanks for sharing 🙂
