COLD CASE RATINGS!

[Naj]

Folks! ;D

It appears as though Cold Case is still going strong in the ratings:

Date: 03-14-2004
Text:
Note: Fast affiliate ratings for Sunday were not available at press time.

Sunday's Ratings Winners:
60 Minutes (CBS), Cold Case (CBS), Law & Order: Criminal Intent (NBC), Crossing Jordan (NBC)

-Sunday's Ratings Losers:
High School Reunion (WB)

-Was It Really Worth the Wait?:
As I struggled (again) to get through HBO's The Sopranos, it occurred to me that other than the expected whacking (who was that guy, anyway?), nothing of note happened.

-Ratings Breakdown:
In another typical Sunday of seesaw leadership, CBS' older skewing combination 60 Minutes (10.3/17) and Cold Case (#1 for the evening: 11.8/17) won the 7-9 p.m. block in the overnights while NBC's Law & Order: Criminal Intent (10.4/15) and Crossing Jordan (9.5/15) were first from 9-11 p.m. Also worthy of positive mention opposite the NBC dramas was CBS made-for Family Sins at an 8.8/13.

2 American Idol , Fox (Tuesday)
3 Survivor: All-Stars, CBS
4 American Idol, Fox (Wednesday)
5 Without a Trace, CBS
6 The Apprentice, NBC
7 Everybody Loves Raymond, CBS

It's amazing that all four of JB's shows are in the Top 15!

It's Wednesday, so last week's ratings were posted in USAToday. It was not in the Top 20, but no repeats of any series were. Here's the mention they give Cold Case in the article about the weekly ratings:

"New dramas score: A repeat of unsung hit Cold Case was the week's top drama, while NBC's Las Vegas, the top newcomer among young adults, cracked the top 10 among that group.

Hoops du jour: Early NCAA basketball playoffs were up sharply — from 30% to 40% each night — vs. last year. They also gave Sunday's prime time a push, boosting 60 Minutes and Cold Case."

Thanks, tvfan.

Now I'm looking forward to see how this week's new ep will do.

Thanks for posting this. Not too shabby.

I haven't been able to get the info on this. I was looking at my sources today and it skips Sunday for some reason.

I don't watch shows for their ratings (after all, the Suits don't always recognize a truly brilliant show)... but thanks for posting how others are viewing "our" show!!! I feel like I got in on the 'ground floor' of this spectacular Sunday drama!

I got my mom taping and watching now!!!

Just saw this article on Zap2it.com. Looks like CC had another successful night.

Nothing's 'Plain' About CBS Sunday Win

Fast National ratings for Sunday, April 25, 2004.

CBS got a strong performance out of the Hallmark movie "Plainsong" and swept all of the night's primetime hours, but ABC snuck in for a rare demographic win.

Overall, CBS averaged a 9.4 rating/15 share, easily beating second place NBC's 6.7/11. ABC was third with a 5.5/9, beating FOX's 4.4/7 and The WB's 1.5/2.

Among adults 18-49, though, ABC had a 3.5 rating, edging FOX and NBC's 3.2 ratings in the coveted demographic. CBS had a 2.8 rating for the night, with The WB's 1.1 rating trailing.

CBS began the night in front with the 7.6/14 for "60 Minutes." ABC was second with the 5.1/10 for "America's Funniest Home Videos." Third place went to NBC's "Dateline," while FOX got a 3.6/7 out of two episodes of "King of the Hill." The WB was fifth with a reairing of "High School Reunion."

Freshman drama "Cold Case" scored a 9.5/15 for the 8 p.m. win. ABC got a 5.9/10 out of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," basically tied with NBC's "Dateline," though the ABC show had many more viewers. Actually NBC's newsmagazine also finished behind FOX's two episodes of "The Simpsons" in total viewers as well. On The WB, "Charmed" had a 1.9/3.

At 9 p.m., the first hour of "Plainsong" had a 9.7/15, with NBC's "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" in second with an 8.1/12. ABC's "Alias" was a distant third, while FOX was fourth with "Malcolm in the Middle" (4.4/7) and "Arrested Development" (3.6/5). The WB got a 1.8/3 out of a new "High School Reunion."

CBS closed the night with "Plainsong" still in first. NBC held onto second with the 7.9/13 for "Crossing Jordan," while ABC got a 5.8/9 out of "The Practice."
