Tripper Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 First indications just out from Marc Berman - a TV reviewer and ratings analyst. The sense is that the show got relatively disappointing numbers but it did manage to get better ratings than How I Met Your Mother which preceded it. The only metrics out now are the rank and the share, it was the 3rd placed show in its time slot and the share/percent was 6.2/9. To explain these: 6.2% of American households watched The Big Bang Theory, 9% of all American households who were actually watching TV watched this show. Its worth noting How I Met Your Mother was down in the ratings, a lot, so that negatively effected Big Bang but essentially also made the "it built on the lead-in" statement a little less valuable. Two and a Half Men got 9.1/13 and was second place, its the most popular comedy, but it was down year-on-year (a whopping 11%), CBS Monday is down on the whole ... Two and a Half Men got 47% more viewers than Big Bang. Rules of Engagement was actually very strong, keeping 88% of Two and a Half Men audience - unless it looses steam quickly, don't expect CBS to can that and put Big Bang there ... ---- Its worth remembering new shows typically loose a lot viewers from their first week over the next airings, its likely by the fourth episode, the ratings will be down 10-20%. The Big Bang Theory was mentioned as disappointing by Marc Berman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripper Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 The fast affiliate ratings are out. The Big Bang Theory was watched by 9.57 million people, was ranked 3 in its time slot and improved 16% on its lead-in (How I Met Your Mother). Marc Berman upped the show from disappointing to "Noticeable Growth from Lead-in". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuocofan Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Well it was on at the same time as Dancing With The Stars so it did pretty well. Now next week will tell us how the ratings are gonna look for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripper Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Did anybody notice that Penny's clothes changed before and after her shower? She entered the geeks room in blue (Example) and after the shower she was in pink (Example). She could have gone back to her apartment (wearing what? ) but why would she go back to the geeks room? To hang out with Wolowitz and Koothrappali? She could have been waiting for Leonard & Sheldon I guess, but it seems a little far fetched that she: 1. Took a shower in their room 2. Left their room, returned to hers, changed clothes 3. Went back to their room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now next week will tell us how the ratings are gonna look for the rest of the season. Yes, we'll have to see how much of the audience of this week it manages to keep. Back to You, one of the only new comedies, lost about 2 million from the premiere to the second episode, we need Big Bang to do a bit better than that.

CharmedOne Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Good ratings, I wonder if that played a part in CTV choosing to put it on A-Channel right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmedOne Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 That is funny ... its odd nobody would have noticed, is it possible one of the scenes with her in different clothes was re shot? I heard they redid a few scenes ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Interesting ... she did shower in their room, which is pretty far fetched, so maybe she ran across the hall, back to her room, naked and returned with new clothes :D A nice thought!

awrus Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 The Big Bang Theory 0x00 Unaired Pilot Sheldon-------Jim Parsons Leonard-------Johnny Galecki Katie---------Amanda Walsh Gilda---------Iris Bahr The show's initial pilot, developed for the 2006–07 television season, was substantially different from its current form. Only Johnny Galecki and Jim Parsons were in the cast, and the female lead, Katie, was envisioned as "a street-hardened, tough-as-nails woman with a vulnerable interior". Katie was played by actress Amanda Walsh They also had a female friend called Gilda (played by Iris Bahr). The show's original theme music was also different, using Thomas Dolby's hit "She Blinded Me With Science". The show was not picked up, but the creators were given an opportunity to revise the show, bringing in the remaining leading cast and retooling the show to its current format. The original unaired pilot has never been released on any official format, but copies of it are floating around the internet with various collectors. On the evolution of the show, Lorre bluntly admitted "We did the 'Big Bang Pilot' about two and a half years ago, and it sucked... but there were two remarkable things that worked perfectly, and that was Johnny and Jim. We rewrote the thing entirely, and then we were blessed with Kaley and Simon and Kunal." As to whether the world will ever see that original pilot, maybe on a DVD, Lorre said "Wow that would be something, we will see.

BillF63 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I have seen one scene from the un-aired pilot and I agree that the current cast and show are much superior even though that one scene did contain some funny moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
