master_q 0 Posted September 12, 2003 ENT’s Ratings The overnight ratings for "The Xindi", Enterprise's third season premiere, showed no decline over the ratings for "The Expanse" but were down from those for last season's premiere, "Shockwave, Part II." According to Mediaweek.com's Programming Insider, "The Xindi" earned a 4.4 rating/7 share. This means that approximately 4.4% of American households with television sets were tuned in Enterprise, while the season premiere was viewed by 7% of households watching television at the time. UPN placed fourth in the 8-9 p.m. time slot, beating reruns of Smallville on The WB and Ed on NBC. In May, season finale "The Expanse" also earned a 4.4/7 rating. Last year, the numbers for the Enterprise's premiere also matched those of the previous season's finale, with both parts of "Shockwave" scoring a 4.9/8. Last season's "A Night In Sickbay" brought in the highest overnight ratings, a 5.1/8. New series Jake 2.0, the lead-out show for Enterprise, earned a 4.2 rating/6 share, a decline from last season's premiere of The Twilight Zone (4.6/7 on Sept. 18, 2002) but ahead of last night's Angel rerun on the WB.

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted September 12, 2003 The TV Ratings system needs to be revamped I believe it is just so outdated. TV shows have so much competition with so many other shows and movies now and also they have to compete with the Internet too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
master_q 0 Posted September 18, 2003 Anomaly The overnight ratings for "Anomaly", the second episode of Enterprise's third season, showed only a four percent decline from the season opener, "The Xindi." However, according to Mediaweek.com's Programming Insider, UPN was 21 percent off its ratings for the same week a year earlier, when Enterprise's second season premiere brought in much higher numbers than this season's premiere. Much of this network-wide plummet can be attributed to the drop of nearly 21 percent in the audience for Enterprise lead-out series Jake 2.0. "Anomaly" earned a 4.2 rating/7 share. This means that approximately 4.2% of American households with television sets were tuned in to the series, while the episode was viewed by 7% of households watching television at the time. UPN placed fifth in the 8-9 p.m. time slot, one place lower than last week yet ahead of The WB. When The WB begins airing new Smallville episodes in October, however, those placements are likely to reverse. None of Smallville's new episodes in its former Tuesday night timeslot received an overnight rating of less than 4.3.

master_q 0 Posted September 25, 2003 "Extinction" Enterprise's ratings held steady on the first real night of prime-time competition, equalling the overnight numbers for the third season premiere. According to Mediaweek.com's Programming Insider, "Extinction" earned a 4.4 rating/7 share. This means that approximately 4.4% of American households with television sets were tuned to Enterprise, while last night's episode was viewed by 7% of households watching television at the time. Enterprise faced off against season premieres on most of the major networks, including NBC's Ed and ABC's My Wife and Kids. Genre competition Smallville, which has its season premiere on The WB next week, did not air last night. "Extinction" had higher overnight ratings than last week's "Anomaly", which earned a 4.2/7 overnight, though final ratings showed an improvement in the most demographics. Season premiere "The Xindi" had the show's highest rating since Feb. 26, 2003. Enterprise finished fifth in its timeslot, as did UPN for the night, with Jake 2.0's ratings holding steady.

master_q 0 Posted October 2, 2003 'Rajiin' Enterprise's overnight ratings dropped sharply when faced with competition from the Smallville season premiere last night. According to Mediaweek.com's Programming Insider, Enterprise's "Rajiin" earned a 4.0 rating/6 share. This means that approximately 4% of American households with television sets were tuned to Enterprise, while last night's episode was viewed by 6% of households watching television at the time. Last week the show earned a 4.4/7 overnight rating for "Extinction." Smallville, which debuted a new episode in the 8 p.m. timeslot on the WB, opened its third season with a 6.7/11 rating, putting the show in third place for the hour. Smallville outperformed last-place Enterprise by 67 percent, and had ratings 43 percent higher than the Dawson's Creek season premiere in that time slot a year ago. Meanwhile, ABC's My Wife and Kids and the season premiere of It's All Relative earned strong ratings, and even FOX's fading Paradise Island managed a 6.0 rating/9 share.

master_q 0 Posted October 3, 2003 'Rajiin' Total Numbers Show Positive Trends "Rajiin" posted final ratings that represent a significant rebound from its low overnight numbers, yet UPN remained firmly in last place for Wednesday night. According to Mediaweek.com's Programming Insider, Enterprise earned a 2.7 rating/4 share in the final household ratings this week. These numbers mean that approximately 2.7% of American households with television sets were tuned to "Rajiin", while the episode was viewed by 4% of households watching television at the time. These numbers represent Enterprise's highest total rating of its third season, though the share is one point lower than the first two episodes of the 2003-2004 broadcast year. "Rajiin" brought in 4.52 million viewers, compared to the 4 million viewers who watched "Extinction." This makes it Enterprise's most-watched episode of this season and the third-most-watched episode of the 2003 calendar year. Despite these improvements, Enterprise remained in last place for the 8 p.m. time slot. Smallville achieved a 4.2 rating/7 share, bringing in 6.83 million viewers. It also had a larger share of the adults 18-49 demographic. NBC's Ed brought in disappointing numbers compared to its ratings last year at this time. Next week the baseball playoffs will affect all other shows in the 8 p.m. time slot. The Programming Insider's Mark Berman gave "Rajiin" a grade of C and noted, "Too bad Scott Bakula can't leap back into an older - and better - edition of Star Trek. And too bad Jake 2.0 isn't reaching a 2.0."

master_q 0 Posted October 10, 2003 (edited) "Impulse" For the second week in a row, Enterprise's overnight ratings have declined. According to Mediaweek.com's Programming Insider, Enterprise's "Impulse" earned a 3.9 rating/6 share. This means that approximately 3.9% of American households with television sets were tuned to Enterprise, while last night's episode was viewed by 6% of households watching television at the time. Last week the show earned a 4.0/6 overnight rating. The last week in September, before it had competition from Smallville, Enterprise earned a 4.4/7. Major League Baseball playoffs made FOX a winner last night, putting it far ahead of second-place NBC whose Law & Order was the single highest-rated show of the night. In Enterprise's hour, ABC and NBC comedies finished ahead of Smallville, which earned a 6.4/10 overnight rating, a slight decline over last week's season premiere which earned a 6.7/11. "Smallville was up a hefty 45 percent over former time period occupant Dawson's Creek on the year ago night," wrote Marc Berman. "Star Trek: Enterprise, in contrast, is off by 28 percent year-to-year (5.4/8 to 3.9/6). Yes - Enterprise is inching closer to the loser's circle." As it did last week, the picture may change when full ratings are available later in the week. The complete overnight ratings are available at Mediaweek.com. --TrekToday http://www.trektoday.com/news/091003_01.shtml Star Trek: Enterprise attracted 4.17 million viewers this week. The latest episode, "Impulse", scored a 2.8 national rating / 4 share, Mediaweek's Marc Berman reported. >These numbers mean that approximately 2.8 percent of American households with television sets were tuned to Enterprise while the episode was viewed by 4 percent of households watching television at the time. "Impulse" scored a higher final rating than last week's "Rajiin", which nabbed a 2.7/4, making the T'Pol-centric outing the highest-rated Enterprise episode this season. The last episode to manage a 2.8 was last year's season finale, "The Expanse", which in turn was the highest-rated episode since "Canamar" in February. However, "Rajiin" was watched by 4.52 million people, 0.35 million more than "Impulse" (story). This can be attributed to the fact that the ratings represent the percentage of households watching Enterprise, and thus fluctuate from week to week according to the total number of households who watch television on Wednesday nights. Therefore, although "Rajiin" attracted more viewers, "Impulse" was seen by a greater percentage of households. In the key demographic of adults 18-49, "Impulse" scored a 1.9 rating / 6 share, Enterprise's highest rating this season with the exception of "Rajiin". However, the series still came last overall in the Wednesday 8:00 p.m. timeslot, beaten by programmes on all other networks, including UPN's closest rival, the WB. Media analyst Marc Berman gave Enterprise's Wednesday night performance a C grade. "Springing a ratings leak in the Wednesday 8 p.m. hour with Star Trek: Enterprise is one additional problem UPN did not need," he said. "Early into season three, it doesn't look like Enterprise has the typical seven-year life span." Freshman action-adventure series Jake 2.0, which serves as Enterprise's 9:00 p.m. lead-out, fared worse with an F grade. The show attracted 2.65 million viewers this week, which represents a retention of 64 percent of Enterprise's viewership.

master_q 0 Posted October 17, 2003 "Exile" Enterprise's "Exile" earned the show's lowest overnight ratings of the season last night as many television viewers tuned in the final game of a Major League Baseball championship game. According to Mediaweek.com's Programming Insider, "Exile" earned a 3.6 rating/5 share. This means that approximately 3.6% of American households with television sets were tuned to Enterprise, while the episode was viewed by 5% of households watching television at the time. Last week the show earned a 3.9/6 overnight rating. FOX's ratings improved a very impressive 398 percent over their ratings on the night a year before. In primetime, the network brought in an average 20.4/29 score. NBC pulled The West Wing from its schedule, repeating two Law & Order shows to moderately high ratings. Smallville brought in ratings certain to please The WB, earning a 6.0/9, a 38 percent increase over Dawson's Creek in the same timeslot a year ago. Marc Berman of MediaWeek called Smallville one of the night's winners, while adding, "Enterprise is inching closer to the loser's list."

master_q 0 Posted October 18, 2003 "Fox Hits Ratings Home Run, UPN Suffers" As FOX swept the ratings for households, total viewers and adults 18-49 with its coverage of the seventh game of the Major League Baseball championship series, UPN and Enterprise suffered declining ratings and viewership. According to Mediaweek.com's Programming Insider, this week's Enterprise episode, "Exile", earned a 2.3 total rating/4 share. This means that approximately 2.3% of American households with television sets were tuned to Enterprise, while "Exile" was viewed by 4% of households watching television at the time. 3.46 million viewers watched the episode, the lowest numbers for the series this season. The show finished in last place in the rankings for the hour. Nearest rival Smallville on the WB brought in a 3.9/6 household rating and 6.47 million viewers. The total ratings earned by "Exile" is marginally above low point "Horizon" but marks a decline from last week's "Impulse", which finished with a 2.8/4 rating, the highest numbers since February sweeps. "Exile" was also lost more than half a million viewers who had tuned in the week before. The total ratings for Wednesday night are available here.

master_q 0 Posted November 1, 2003 'The Shipment' Lifts 'Enterprise' To Pre-Baseball Numbers Star Trek: Enterprise saw an increase in overnight ratings last night over "Exile" two weeks ago when the baseball playoffs crushed the show's numbers. According to Mediaweek.com's Programming Insider, this week's Enterprise episode, "The Shipment", earned a 3.9 total rating/6 share. This means that approximately 3.9% of American households with television sets were tuned to Enterprise, while "Exile" was viewed by 6% of households watching television at the time. These overnight ratings are identical to those for "Impulse", which aired the week before "Exile." Last week UPN opted to show a rerun rather than try to compete with the World Series. Over on the WB, genre rival Smallville brought in a 5.9/9 rating, a 51% improvement on Enterprise which columnist Marc Berman described as "fading" since 22% of its audience on the night from last year has evaporated. UPN remains in sixth place out of the six ranked networks for Enterprise's hour. Total ratings for this week will be available tomorrow. The overnight ratings for Wednesday night are here. --TrekToday http://www.trektoday.com/news/301003_03.shtml 3.7 Million Watch 'The Shipment' 3.7 million viewers tuned in to watch Captain Archer's struggle with the Xindi in "The Shipment". This Wednesday's Star Trek: Enterprise episode scored a 2.5 national rating / 4 share, Mediaweek reported. This means approximately 2.5 percent of American households with television sets were tuned into Enterprise, while the episode was viewed by 4 percent of households watching television at the time. Ratings showed a rebound from the previous first-run episode of Enterprise, "Exile", which was the least-watched outing of the season with 3.46 million viewers (story). However, "The Shipment" turned out to be the second least-watched instalment this season, with the first five episodes from "The Xindi" through to "Impulse" attracting 4 million viewers or more. In the coveted adults 18-49 demographic, "The Shipment" achieved a 1.6 rating / 4 share, an improvement on "Exile's" 1.5/4. But Enterprise was signficantly behind the WB's Smallville in this demographic, with the Superman series notching up a 2.9/8. Media analyst Marc Berman, who awarded Enterprise a C grade for its ratings performance, suggested warping the show to another night in order to improve its chances this season. "If UPN really wants to keep Star Trekalive on the network, they are going to have to move it away from the WB's Smallville," he said. "Given they have no audience on Friday and there is no other science fiction programming on the night, that could be an option." But Enterprise fared better than its lead-out show, Jake 2.0, which was awarded an F grade. The action adventure series was only watched by 2.4 million viewers, far behind its nearest competitor, the WB's Angel, which attracted 4.72 million. Next week's "Twilight" will be the first Enterprise episode to air during November sweeps. This key ratings period determines advertising rates for the coming months, and networks usually pull out all the stops to make sure they have their best episodes on offer.

master_q 0 Posted November 29, 2003 "Carpenter Street" The final night of November sweeps went to CBS yesterday as many networks shuffled their lineups to accomodate for traditionally low viewership the night before the Thanksgiving holiday. According to Zap2It's fast national ratings, Star Trek: Enterprise's "Carpenter Street" episode earned a 2.3 rating/4 share. This means that approximately 2.3% of American households with television sets were tuned to UPN, while Enterprise was viewed by 4% of households watching television at the time. In last week's fast nationals, "Similitude" earned a 2.8/4 fast national rating which rose to a 3.0/5 total rating. These should not be confused with Nielsen's overnight ratings, measured by metered markets in large urban areas, which were not available by 3 p.m. EST today. The WB chose not to air Smallville, instead showing the film Josie and the (I'm trying to say a bad word but can't)cats which finished last for the 8 p.m. hour. Thus, despite lower ratings, Enterprise finished fifth instead of sixth for the first time in weeks. UPN's WWE special The Stone Cold Truth at 9 in Jake 2.0's usual slot kept the network in fifth place for the night. CBS, which is owned by Viacom as is UPN, is expected to be declared the victor for November sweeps when total ratings become available for the period. The fast national ratings for Wednesday night are available at Zap2It.

master_q 0 Posted December 26, 2003 TrekToday - "UPN's Faith In 'Enterprise' Paying Off" Star Trek: Enterprise is showing gains in the ratings as the third season progresses, improving in total viewers and the 18-49 and 18-34 demographics. According to Zap2It, the show rallied after facing stiff competition from post-season baseball playoffs. "Similitude", which aired November 19th, drew an audience of 4.6 million viewers, significantly higher than season 2's average of 4.03 million viewers per episode. Executive producer Rick Berman says he is happy with the results of the changes to third season, which include a season-long arc and a new villain, the Xindi. "We're pleased that the ratings have been holding on, and we're pleased that the shows have been terrific. A lot of fans seem to agree," Berman said. "We made a decision to develop a unique, season-long arc, which we are nearly half-done with, as far as shows that have been completed, and two-thirds done with, in terms of shows conceived and written." Executive producer Brannon Braga also expressed his pleasure at the direction Enterprise is taking. "There are two things that are really working for us creatively and, it appears, for the fans. There are strong science-fiction components to this arc--the mystery of the spheres, the five-species Xindi, great time travel--and also, the emotional stakes have been raised quite a bit," Braga commented. The producers also hinted at what was ahead for the characters. Though not much has happened thus far with the rumored Trip (Connor Trinneer)/T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) pairing, Braga revealed that "there's a lot of really tantalizing stuff happening between Trip and T'Pol, though not quite the way you would expect. So yes, that dynamic is going to go somewhere, but it's not going to end up in a wedding or anything predictable." Berman promised further development for T'Pol in the coming months. "We're also going to find out, in episode 19, I believe, that there's a specific reason why T'Pol's behavior might be a little bit different than we would expect it to be," he said. "I can't tell you any more than that." Braga added, "Real shocking things are going to happen in that arc." Enterprise's creators also spoke about Trip, whose character changed greatly after his sister was killed in the Xindi attack on Earth at the end of season 2. Trip's demeanor became more serious and focused, and his joking, lighthearted attitude was toned down somewhat. "That was something that we did intentionally, that we talked to Connor about," Berman commented. "As soon as Trip's sister was killed and this new mission began, we pulled that back extensively." When they addressed the issue of the show's name adjustment, from Enterprise to Star Trek: Enterprise, neither saw it as a major change for the show. "Brannon and I both believe that it has made absolutely no difference," Berman said about UPN's desire to add "Star Trek" to the name. "They've been very supportive, so I didn't feel it was worthwhile to object. Anybody who had any interest in Star Trek knew that Enterprise was a Star Trek series, so putting the name Star Trek in front of it to seemingly attract potential Trek fans, I think, didn't serve much of a purpose."

master_q 0 Posted January 17, 2004 "'Enterprise' Starts 2004 With Low Metered Ratings" Star Trek: Enterprise's first new episode of 2004 brought in one of its lowest scores of the season in the overnight ratings. According to Mediaweek.com'sProgramming Insider, "Chosen Realm" earned a 3.5 total rating/5 share. This means that approximately 3.5% of American households with television sets were tuned to UPN for the hour, while "Chosen Realm" was viewed by 5% of households watching television at the time. "ThisClose to the Loser's List," remarked MediaWeek Programming Insider Marc Berman of the series, noting that fifth-place Smallville, which earned a 5.1/8 in the 8 p.m. time slot, finished 46 percent above sixth-and-last-place Enterprise. These ratings are particularly unfortunate because other low-rated episodes of Enterprise this season were up against tough competition from baseball and from the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. "Exile", which aired during the baseball playoffs, earned a 3.6/5 in October, while "Carpenter Street", the lowest-rated episode of the season, earned a 2.9/4 on the evening before Thanksgiving. But a rerun of "Cold Case" won the 8 p.m. hour last night for CBS. Preemptions for sports in major cities that lowered the overnight ratings may alter the final ratings. Berman's analysis and the numbers may be found at Mediaweek.com. --TrekToday http://www.trektoday.com/news/150104_02.shtml Fast Nationals Bolster 'Chosen Realm' "Chosen Realm," this week's episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, scored poorly in the overnight ratings, but the fast national data shows more encouraging trends. Fast national ratings, which are reported by Zap2It (as opposed to the metered market ratings used to determine overnight ratings, reported at MediaWeek) indicate that "Chosen Realm" finished with a 2.7 rating/4 share. The numbers mean that on Wednesday night, approximately 2.7% of households with television sets were tuned to this week's episode, and 4% of households watching television at the time had Enterprise onscreen. These are high numbers for Enterprise, whose highest total ratings this season came from "Similitude" which brought in a 3.0/5. "Rajiin" earned a 2.7/4 in the fall. After putting Enterprise "thisclose" to the Loser's List yesterday, MediaWeek Programming Insider Marc Berman answered a reader comment in his column today. saying that he does not believe UPN can promote Enterprise's improved storytelling this season. "That would imply the show initially was a bust," Berman wrote, adding that he did not believe the show could be moved to a time slot out of competition with Smallville because there isn't one available. "Because UPN got on the map thanks to the Star Trek franchise, there is still every reason to believe the series will continue past this season," he added, stating that if the quality this season continues, there could be resurgence of popularity for the show: "Not likely, but a possibility." Total ratings have not yet been released for Wednesday night. When they are available, audience numbers for "Chosen Realm" will indicate how many viewers may actually have watched the show. --TrekToday http://www.trektoday.com/news/160104_03.shtml Master Q StarTrek_Master_Q@yahoo.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
master_q 0 Posted January 24, 2004 "Defying Predictions, UPN's Wednesday Ratings Rise" UPN saw an increase in both ratings and total viewers this week despite competition from the launch of American Idol 3. According to Mediaweek.com's Programming Insider, UPN earned a 2.4 total rating/4 share for the night of Wednesday, January 21st. This means that approximately 2.4% of American households with television sets were tuned to UPN, while the network was watched by 4% of households with televisions on at the time. Though Programming Insider Marc Berman did not provide numbers for each hour of primetime and fast national ratings indicated that America's Next Top Model in the 9 p.m. slot would outrank Star Trek: Enterprise at 8 p.m., these numbers show an improvement upon the 2.1/3 rating UPN posted on January 14th. UPN also had more viewers this week, 3.69 million to last week's 3.14 million. All the other networks competing with FOX and American Idol 3 had declining ratings. Unfortunately The Futon Critic has removed its show-by-show ratings comparison charts at the request of Nielsen Media Research, so the total ratings for "Proving Ground" are not yet available.
