Syndicated Ratings

[Tensor]

I still follow the ratings and when the new syndicated ratings came out today, I looked a bit deeper.  TBBT is the only syndicated scripted show in the top ten.  Every other show in the top ten, from game shows, to court shows, to entertainment shows produce new content every day. 

in addition to being the only scripted show in the top ten, it is also the only scripted, syndicated show above a 2.0 household rating.  And one of three shows that are at or above a 1.0.  Last Man Standing (1.4) and Young Sheldon (1.0) are the other two. 
 

Here is the top ten and their household ratings:

Jeopardy                   6.3

Wheel of Fortune    5.8

Family Feud             5.8

Judge Judy                5.3

Inside Edition          2.5

TBBT                         2.3*

Entertain Tonight   2.3*

Dr Phil.                     1.8

Kelly and Ryan.       1.8

Hot Bench.              1.6

*While they appeared tied, TBBT is rounded down to a 2.3 while Entertainment tonight is rounded up. 
 

on TBS, TBBT  can still pull in an occasional 0.7 or 0.8 for the 18-49 demo. (Note demo is different than the Household rating above).  This is on par ( or better)  than the current ratings for most network shows.

Guess TBBT is still popular with the tv audience  It probably could have gone on for another year or two with these ratings

Well, I watch the reruns just about every night that it is on TBS. 

The show makes me laugh and not much else does these days. I've noticed if my cat is laying on my chest when I'm in my recliner she does not like it when I laugh and gets mad and runs off.😺

Look at it this way.  Over the last three years, broadcast television, overall, has lost about 18% of of ratings from the previous year.  Over it's last few years, TBBT generally fell at the same rate as broadcast television.  Now trends can't alway be extrapolated, but if the show had lost 18% of its ratings, for each year since it went of, it would finish this year at a 1.25 rating.  To give you an idea, there are no entertainment shows that are averaging over a 1.0 this year.  The highest was the Fall, Survivor at 0.95.   It would have taken TBBT losing over 25% of its audience, each year for all three years to drop below a 1.0.

Or, we can go with Young Sheldon as an example.  It has averaged about 21% lost per year, since TBBT went off the air.   That would give TBBT a rating of 1.10, still over one, and still the highest rated entertainment show.  For those who are curious, Young Sheldon has a 0.69 rating this year.  And, as bad as that sounds, it is still the highest rated live action sitcom on broadcast television this season. It's in 15th place.  I say live action as The Simpsons in in fifth place, with an 0.83 rating.

 Call Me Kat has a 0.46 rating and is currently in 45 place, right in the middle of all 90 shows.
