Huge increase in ratings on March 4th episode - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

David · 03-06-2003, 10:47 AM

4. Dateline (NBC)- 7.8/13
4. "J.A.G." (R, CBS) - 7.9/12
6. "A.U.S.A." (NBC) - 7.5/11
7. "Eight Simple Rules..." (R, ABC) - 7.3/11
8. "Let's Make a Deal" (NBC) - 7.0/10

AUSA had a humungous increase this past Tuesday!

Last week, it had a 5.1/8, and dropped all the way to number 70 in the ratings. Interesting enough, AUSA scored a 7.5/11 on it's debut episode...

WHAT?! it did better than 8SR??? what's this world coming to?

callmetootie · 03-06-2003, 10:56 AM

This was ONLY because Smallville was a rerun, IACGMOOH was on ABC, and Salem Witch Trials was on CBS. AUSA ranked at #2 in it's timeslot, but it'll drop to #4 or #5 again, when Guardian and Less Than Perfect come back. Trust me. No one likes this crap.

It didn't. Those are overnights. A.U.S.A. got a 6.5/10 in Nielsen Fast Nationals. 8 Simple Rules did better with a rerun even at a 7.1/11.

However, A.U.S.A. did do better than week ago when it had a 5.1, it was up to a 6.5 this week, mainly because other networks didn't have regular programming or reruns.

SomersCompany, next time say if they are overnights or fast nationals, it causes confusion.

Yeah...7.5 seems a bit high for a show that has generated possibly ZERO good notices.

David · 03-06-2003, 03:40 PM

Oh sorry

...but just wondering, what's the difference between fast nationals and overnights?

callmetootie · 03-06-2003, 04:00 PM

Fast Nationals are usually more accurate. The Overnights are usually .5 less than the FN ratings.

Fast Nationals are measured in every market. Overnights are for the top markets.

Remember I think "Leap of Faith" was #3 last season and that was cancelled so you never know.

AUSA cancelled. Watching Ellie goes into 930 slot in April.

A.U.S.A. is not canceled. It's season order is done after April 8, that's why Watching Ellie returns April 15.
