TV By The Numbers - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Duster76 · 02-04-2020, 10:04 PM

I just found out the TV BY The Numbers site has shut down, the quality of the site had gone way down, here's the announcement:

The End
TV By The NumbersJanuary 31, 2020

For over a decade, TV by the Numbers has covered television ratings in a way no other site on the internet ever has. We have provided our readers with the necessary ratings information and analysis to help them better understand the state of their favorite shows. Sadly, due to the ever-changing nature of the online publishing business, today is the last day that TV by the Numbers will be active.
We want to take this moment to thank everyone who has ever watched over this site, managed it, contributed to it, and most importantly, read it. Your dedication to this site has kept it going over the years, and TV by the Numbers would never have become what it has, if it hadn’t been for your support.
So, as we say goodbye, we want to thank you, our readers, for keeping us around as long as you have. And we hope that you may continue to discuss TV ratings and the industry-at-large in the years to come, no matter where those discussions may take place.
Best regards,

TV by the Numbers went downhill when Alex Welch became the main writer, he couldn't care less.

Ouch.... Im sad TVBythenumbers site is ending, although not surprising since they haven't posted top 100 ratings of show/reruns since few years..

Oh well, at least there is still programming insider site, but only post rerun ratings for primetime 8PM-11PM.

I have started getting my primetime ratings from Spotted Ratings since TV by the Numbers ended last week. In that farewell thread a lot of the posters were recommending Spotted Ratings and Spoiler TV, I haven't checked out Spoiler yet.

Oops. Sorry about that.

I'm not familiar with this site, haven't heard of it before but for those who used it it's unfortunate that it shut down.

tenter · 02-12-2020, 12:25 PM

I remember tvbythenumbers used to post the daily ratings, top 100, ordering from top to bottom grouped by adult demos, with total viewers. But that was few years ago

A site that I like which has a great historical database as well as plenty of news and charts about current shows is:

The TV Ratings Guide

I’ll definitely miss the site. I’ve been visiting since I had webTV and it was known as ultimate TV...then zap2it and then finally tvbythenumbers. I’ve been checking this site since around 1999 so to me it is the end of an era.
