Ex-TGIFer's big pull with 9-14s on Nick at Nite

In looking to the future at the upcoming upfront, ABC may want to take a look at its past.
In the late ‘80s, “Full House” was a cornerstone of ABC’s TGIF programming, drawing big audiences to the Friday block of family shows.
Nearly two decades later, “Full House” continues to draw the young viewers.
“House” has become a huge draw for young viewers on Nick at Nite. The show averaged 1.02 million viewers in the 9-14 demo last week, taking five spots among the top 30 programs on broadcast and cable with a top rating of 4.6.
Even the wee ones are not immune. Among 2-11s, “House” drew an average of 2.3 million viewers last week, with a 4.5 rating that landed it at No. 15 among top programs in that demo.
Since debuting on Nick at Night in 2003, the family sitcom has been a big draw while airing at 9 p.m. most weekdays, with some 9:30 and 10 p.m. appearances. It has averaged 1.84 million total viewers this year.
That today’s tweens still respond to a wholesome family comedy that was slightly cheesy even during its initial run is surprising. But with cute kids and lesson-oriented plots, it is the classic family comedy that has long been missing in ABC’s TGIF line-up.
For older audiences, “Full House” harkens back to the past as viewers remember being kids during its height in the ‘80s and ‘90s. The show is averaging a .52 rating among 18-24s, up 8 percent from a year ago, with an average of 500,000 viewers last week.
Among younger audiences, there is also another draw. Call it the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen effect. It seems younger kids who are fans of the twins now are also fans of the girls as they were before, when as adorable little tikes they shared the role of Michelle in “Full House.”
The millionaire celebrity twins’ constant presence in tabloids and gossip rags, even that much talked-about anorexia episode for one, has added to the reincarnated show’s popularity as well.

For the week ending April 10, TOP 30 PROGRAMS - BROADCAST & BASIC CABLE TV FOR Kids 9-14, Full House came in #5, 15, 16, 19, and #24.

Those three do VERY well in the adults 18-49 demo. But since most network shows do, you never see them in the top 30 list, but if you just include top 30 for basic cable, they'd be in there for sure. Especially Fresh Prince and Roseanne.

Well i'll be dang. This show is still proving all the critics wrong. Thats really good that its continuing to get more fans. I hope that means season 2 dvd will ocme soon and hopefully a reunion. Since Johns new show is pretty much a bust maybe he'll figure out he will never be able to get away from bieng known as Uncle Jessie. And decide to do the reunion.

Pav any idea on how the ABC Family ratings for Full House are doing?

Is FH doing huge ratings on ABC Family as well? or just N@N?

[Pavan]

I don't know how well it is doing on ABC Family, but they renewed it when it wasn't even close to expiring last year. It doesn't do well as it does on Nick@Nite among kids 2-14, but still good.

Kudos to Nick at Nite for bringing "Full House" the best show ever.

[Coory]

It is the best show ever isnt it?

[Mr. Television]

Full House is the Brady Bunch of the 1990's. Critics hate it but it seems like it will go on forever.

Heres the story...the story of a man named tanner

ABC Family's timeslot is also during the day... 4pm hour is the latest, right? On the East Coast(and Pacific)... most kids have only been home for less than an hour, and are not let home in Central or Mountain time zones.

They seem to have started airing it at 6:00p.m. on Saturdays now.
