TV in Numbers

Here are some interesting TV statistics for this season, courtesy of TV Guide. I LOVE TV and entertainment statistics. Kinda like how Jorge loves baseball statistics. Idk, do you love baseball statistics, Jorge??

$73,000: The median income of homes that watch NBC's the Office. That is the highest of all network television shows. Scrubs is $68,000, ABC's Dirty Sexy Money, Big Shots, and Private Practice are $63,000.

24.1%: The lift in viewership for the Office when DVR playback is added into the number of people who watch it live the night of its airing (within the same week of its original airing). Heroes is 22%, Reaper is 18.7%, Grey's Anatomy is 18%, House is 17.6%, and Friday Night Lights is 17.1%.

45.2: The median age of people who watch NBC prime time, which makes it the youngest of the four major networks (NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX). CBS is the oldest, with a median age being 52.6 and up.

17%: The increase in viewers of FOX's Family Guy in the Sunday 9PM slot. Kinda amazing since the show has been on since 1999, but then again, they've had a kinda amazing and bumpy ride so far. Not any show can claim that they've been cancelled and then resurrected. This unheard of increase is probably due to its multiple syndication airings, which just went into effect this TV season.
