What's Up with All the Low TV Ratings?
It's been a tough spring for television, with shows hitting their season-low ratings left and right. The latest casualty is "Heroes," which plunged to third place in its time slot this week with its worst ratings ever. "24" wasn't far off its own season low.
NBC's Thursday Ratings Hit All-Time Low
I've always thought of NBC's Thursday night lineup as the most dominant group of shows on TV, from the Must See TV days with "Seinfeld" and "Friends" to the current Comedy Night Done Right block with "The Office" and "Scrubs." But something's gone horribly wrong: Last week's shows drew NBC's lowest Thursday ratings since at least 1987, according to Mediaweek.
I'm baffled, considering that last week was the first time all four comedies plus "ER" were all new since Feb.
JT Helps Slimey Awards Clean Up in the Ratings
Can you believe Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards have been around for 20 years? What's more, this year's ceremony, held Saturday night in Los Angeles, earned the highest ratings in KCA history, Reuters reports.
According to the Nielsen numbers, the program averaged more than 6.1 million viewers, a 3 percent increase over last year.
"American Idol": No Match for Daylight

To what do we owe the 15 percent drop?

Buzz In: How Many Hours of TV Do You Watch Per Day?
When I asked my co-workers to guess how many hours of TV the average American watches per day, most guessed in the 2-3 range. I have to admit — I thought I watched a lot more TV than the average bear, but as it turns out, the rest of the country is just as glued to the tube as I am. According to a recent report on Nielson ratings, the average American watches 4 hours and 49 minutes a day!
