Thread: Chuck Versus the Ratings

The initial results are in for the first regular episode (Mondays @ 8)

Here’s what NBC PR had to say about Chuck:

◦At 8 p.m. ET, the regular-slot season premiere of “Chuck” (2.6 rating, 7 share in adults 18-49, 7.3 million viewers overall) scored the show’s highest regular-slot results in 18-49 and total viewers since the special 3-D telecast on February 2, 2009, the night after the Super Bowl. It was also the biggest total-viewer average for NBC in this time period with regular programming since that February 2 “Chuck.” In a time slot that last night included competition from Fox’s “House,” ABC’s “The Bachelor” and CBS’s comedies, “Chuck” generated growth from its first half-hour to its second of 8 percent in adults 18-49 (to a 2.7 from a 2.5) and 16 percent in adults 18-34 (2.2 vs. 1.9).

◦Compared with NBC’s average in the time-period last season, last night’s “Chuck” is up 18 percent in 18-49 rating (2.6 vs. 2.2, live plus same day) and up 14% in total viewers (7.322 million vs. 6.409 million).

Chuck got a 2.5 a 18-49 rating the first half hour and a 2.7 the last half hour.

great!! hope it stays the course!!!

For week 2

Chuck averaged a 2.5/6 adults 18-49 rating and 6.66 million viewers

Sounds like they should have ordered more episodes instead of cutting it short this season.

They did order new episodes - thats why it started now, instead of after the Olympics. I think they ordered 20 instead of 10 episodes.

I think it is 19 episodes total.

I stated that because I had heard that they did not order as many this season as they did the last season, they did not fill the whole order.

For week 3

Chuck was steady versus last week’s 2.5 adults 18-49 rating and up a bit with overall viewers

here are the numbers:
Show 8-49 Rating/Share Viewers (Millons)
Chuck 2.5/6 6.94

In the Renew index this is posted:
"Chuck scored another 2.5 rating last night. I think that’s just on the good side of renewal for the show. If it can keep that ratings level up, I am confident it will be back"

That's good. I think NBC needs to keep this show.
