They had a messy divorce years after the series ended.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very young people nowadays very seldom watch broadcast TV, they prefer to watch their favourite shows on other media which are not detected with the present ratings system, that's one of the reasons why that particular demo is the most valuable for advertisers. Then I’m guessing the United States has different preferences when it comes to teens. I’m assuming most of this is due to te popularity Netflix shows have gained, but for what I know most sitcom viewers in Spain are mostly people my age (17 year olds). Shows like Mom, Modern family and two and a half men are widely acclaimed between teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyceraye Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Aren't we all twelve years older than we were when TBBT started ? Or is it just me ?

If I tried to watch those shows weekly on broadcast TV in my Country, I would be facing a delay of more than one year with respect to USA schedule, most likely they would air at ungodly hours or in the early afternoon, and the schedule itself would be very erratic. So I just watch them at my convenience on Netflix or on some other streaming sites. Those ratings are not detected in any way.

Tensor Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 4 hours ago, BigBang15 said: The "older crowd" is spending less money (on advertised products) than the younger demo. Actually that's not true. It really has nothing to do with who is spending what. It has to do with who is watching. Those over 50 have much more disposable income than those 18-49. Older groups watch more television. If they miss an ad on one channel, they may very well see it on another, so why pay more for a show older people watch a lot. The reason the 18-49 group has, historically, be so prized by advertisers, is because they are harder to reach with ads than those 50 and over. A good example involves TBBT. Both TBBT and NCIS have around 12 million viewers. The reason TBBT pulls in more per ad spot than NCIS ($285,000 vs $137,000) is that last year, the 18-49 demo for TBBT was 2.7, while the demo for NCIS was 1.4. That translates to around 3 million 18-49 viewers for TBBT, and only 1.5 million 18-49 viewers for NCIS. Advertisers will pay more for shows that have a higher 18-49 demo, simply because that group is harder to reach than the over 50 group. In recent years, the 18-34 demo has been even harder to reach, as they watch the least television (and those that do, are more likely to be cord cutting). Shows that pull in more 18-34 viewers will get more for their ad spots, even if the 18-49 are equal. Again, TBBT is a good example. TBBT and This is Us have a 2.7 demo for the 18-49, While TBBT pulls in 12 million viewers, and This is Us pulls in only 10.5. So why does This is Us get over $400,000 for an ad spot? The answer is in the 18-34 ratings for each of the show's second episode. TBBT had a 1.0 rating for the 18-34 demo, while This is Us had a 1.6 rating in the 18-34 demo, over a half a point higher.

If I am not mistaken, CBS is the most popular network among older viewers (over 50) and the American middle/working class Viewersv. That is their base audience and who they appeal to the most. In the 1990s they got a reputation for for being the "old People" Network. Edited October 4, 2018 by MTBigBangTheoryFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joyceraye Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 TBBT is shown in England (don't know about the rest of the UK) in pairs of episodes at different times of day. Products advertised vary. We get ads for baby food, funeral plans, stair lifts, walk-in baths, absorbent underwear, careers the government would like young people to take up, toys and medicines for toddlers, sex toys,contraceptives, toilet rolls, tampons and fast cars.They obviously think different demographics view the episodes at certain times. The late night versions of the show are unbowdlerised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfm Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Here the setellite companies airs the new episodes, on a channel with no commercials (profits are from people joining the company's service amd paying for the channel). I think they start airing the season some weeks after in starts and then with the gaps in the USA airing schedule it eventually becomes a one week delay. The cable company has seasons 1-8 on its VOD (video on demand) service. There are other smaller services, I think some of them may have episodes but maybe not the new one, unless they made some deal with the settelite company (which I doubt, this company has been using TBBT to draw people for years, although not so much now that streaming became so popular and TBBT has "aged").
