The Ex List is no longer on the CBS schedule

Already........... CBS has pulled The Ex-List from its television schedule. Only four episodes have been shown thus far. All entertainment outlets are reporting that the action was caused by "lackluster" ratings. I do hate that this means more people ~ crew, cast & so on ~ are out of work.

Last Friday's episode finished in second place behind NBC's Crusoe (5.92 million) again. It also was 2nd in the demo. ABC's Supernanny was #1 in the demo with a 1.7/5 rating.

Ratings for The Ex-List episode on Friday, October 17th

For those who have asked, here are the Nielsen ratings for The Ex-List episode last night. The show was second in its time slot again this week. Over on NBC, the television premiere of the new series, Crusoe took 1st place. The Ex List was #1 in the demo for that time period.

CBS won the night with Ghost Whisperer & Numb3rs, as usual.

The Ex-List ratings for 2nd episode decline from premiere

I've received several emails asking how The Ex List did in the ratings last night. The numbers for its second episode actually declined from the premiere.... by over a million viewers. It also was in 2nd place during the time period, which was won by NBC's Deal or No Deal (with 6.52 million viewers). However, The Ex-List did take 1st place in the 18 to 49 demographic category.

TV By The Numbers ~ the Ex-List disappoints

Friday Night Ratings: Ex-List disappoints
by Robert Seidman

Things keep getting worse for Friday nights. CBS won the night overall, but both the premiere of The Ex List and the return of Numb3rs must have been a little disappointing for the EYE network. The Ex List was down off the premiere of Moonlight a year ago, but Numb3rs was also down noticeably.

Despite the woes, CBS was the only network to have two shows place over 8 million viewers.

Moonlight Fans — I’m not sure this info is gloat-worthy, but I’m not sure it isn’t. There is no denying that Moonlight did have 8 million viewers in its premiere last year and that The Ex List didn’t. And although The Ex-List had slightly more 18-49 year old viewers than Moonlight’s finale, even in the finale, Moonlight drew 7.47 million. You can see last year’s numbers for Moonlight’s first-run airings here.

CBS network won the night.

CBS won Friday night with its lineup. Another May Sweeps victory. It is the only network to have shows above 2.0 in the important demo. Our vamps continue their consistent performance. We have much the same numbers week to week, and won our time period again.

Ratings for Moonlight's Fated to Pretend (episode #1x13) ~ April 25th

Ratings race for 4/25/08 ~ CBS won the night, which happens to be the first Friday of May sweeps. Moonlight was the winner of its time slot ~ both in viewers & the important demo! Out of the ten shows airing on Friday night, Moonlight took 3rd place :) YEA! However, we need to get the ratings up. We want to have numbers that CBS just can not ignore.

Also, as we have been discussing, please continue sending feedback to the network. Let them know that we watch Moonlight but don't count in the numbers because we are not Nielsen families.

When Love Lasts Forever (episode #1x11) & The Mortal Cure (episode #1x12) originally aired in January, they grabbed 8.32 million demo 3 & 8.17 million demo 3.13 respectively. Our goal is to meet and BEST those numbers. Keep spreading the word about our show!

Ratings for Moonlight's Arrested Development episode (#1x05) on Friday, February 8th, 2008

As you can expect on a February Sweeps' Friday night of reruns, the ratings were low across the networks. Moonlight's repeat held steady, ranking #2 with over 5 million viewers and with exactly the same demo numbers again this week.

A few other numbers from the night.....

House won our time slot again for Fox with 8.20 million viewers. On NBC, Friday Night Lights had 5.22 million viewers in 3rd place. ABC's Desperate Housewives finished in last place with 3.79 million viewers. Ouch! It just wasn't a very good night for ABC at all.... The rebroadcast of Grey's Anatomy in the 7:00pm/8:00pm period only had 3.95 million. At least, the network's night finished better when 20/20 in the 9:00pm/10:00pm slot grabbed 6.29 million eyes and 3rd place.

Ratings for Moonlight's Fever episode (#1x04) on Friday, February 1st, 2008

Friday night shows do not usually have huge numbers under normal circumstances. Even though this is the February sweeps period, most networks only have reruns to show due to the writer's strike. Sooooo.... that means last Friday's ratings were especially low across the board for all the television networks.

Ratings for Moonlight's Fever episode (#1x04) on Friday, February 1st, 2008 ~

Fast Nationals : 5.91 million viewers (2nd), 18 to 49 demo share 1.5/ 4 (3rd)

In my opinion, those are not bad numbers for a repeat episode. Comparing Moonlight to the other shows that night, none had high ratings. For example ~

In Moonlight's time slot (8:00 PM CST/9:00 PM Eastern), on Fox, House won with 7.83 million viewers.... NBC's Friday Night Lights got 5.64 million.... ABC's Desperate Housewives had a very low 3.64 million.

7:00 PM CST/8:00 PM Eastern

Ghost Whisperer (CBS) 7.31 million viewers.

Bones (Fox) 5.59 million viewers.

Grey's Anatomy (ABC) 4.13 million viewers.

9:00 PM CST/10:00 PM Eastern

Numb3rs (CBS) 6.89 million viewers.

Las Vegas (NBC) 6.86 million viewers.

20/20 (ABC) 6.75 million viewers.

Moonlight's ratings for Friday, December 14th

The ratings for Moonlight have not been officially announced yet. BOO! Good news ~ we do know that Moonlight won its time slot!!! In fact, CBS did win the night in every time period.

According to Fast Nationals, Moonlight had a 4.9/9 share.

Speculation is that we had about 7.5 to 7.6 million viewers. I looked back through our previous ratings. The B.C. episode (#1x06) also had a 4.9/9 which translated to 7.55 million. Of course, I will let you know as soon as the final results are in for our show. :)

Another thing I noticed in old ratings info.... the episode before Sleeping Beauty was Fleur De Lis (#1x09). It had 4.7/8 share, 7.32 million. That means, we were UP from the last episode even with the holidays and the lousy 3 week break. YEA!!!
