Ratings for Moonlight's rebroadcast of The Mortal Cure (#1x12) ~ April 18th, 2008

Last night's ratings were not very kind to any of the networks. Friday is not a big tv night to begin with, but especially low on viewers when many of the shows are repeats. The numbers for Moonlight's rebroadcast of The Mortal Cure (episode #1x12) were a bit lower than the reruns in February. Dateline was the winner of our time slot with the first of their two hours. We still took second place versus new programming on the other networks.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned contacting CBS to let them know we watch Moolight every week (as well as online, TIVO, etc) but we are not counted in the ratings because we don't have the Nielsen box. Many of you have sent me messages to say you have been doing this. Thank you!

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.

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

Fast Nationals : 5.53 million viewers (2nd), 18 to 49 demo share 1.5/ 4 (3rd)

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 season finale ~ The Mortal Cure (episode #1x12)

We needed to go out on a high note. Moonlight won its time slot and the all important demo (again) with its final new show! Number one! *cheer* Now, lets hope the reruns have decent numbers to show CBS that it also repeats well.

Moonlight's ratings from 2nd episode shown in Australia last night

Moonlight's second episode ~ Out of the Past #1x02 ~ was broadcast last night (Wednesday, December 19th, 2007) in Australia. Wednesday was last night for them and tonight for us! I always feel like I'm time traveling when I go to the Aussie web sites and they have tomorrow's date already. *grin*

According to the Australian television ratings chart, Moonlight had 664,000 viewers and was in 16th place. That is down from the number of premiere watchers last week ~ 696,000. However, our show did build on its lead in show, ER, again this time out. ER attracted 629,000 viewers & was number 18. The number of people who tuned in for it was also down from last week's 658,000.

Vicar of Dibley won the night's ratings race this week too with 1,469,000 viewers on ABC.

Here are a few more numbers for American programs, in case you are interested. :)

10. That 70's Show Seven 887,000
12. The Starter Wife Ten 774,000
13. The King of Queens Nine 773,000
17. Men In Trees Nine 638,000
20. Friends Ten 616,000
24. Cane Ten 504,000
33. 30 Rock Seven 353,000

Moonlight airs in Australia on Wednesday nights at 9:30 on Channel Nine!

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!!!

Moonlight's ratings from last night's Australian television debut

Moonlight premiered last night in Australia on Channel Nine. Its ratings ~ 696,000 viewers. The network paired it with ER (weird match) which rated 658,000 watchers. Since Moonlight grabbed more viewers than its lead-in, people must have switched channels just to watch it! Let's hope that is a good sign.

Another CBS show, Cane, was also on Australian television last night (Channel Ten) ~ 586,000 tuned in. NBC's 30 Rock (Network 7) only had 353,000 viewers. The top program was Vicar of Dibley (ABC) with 1,377,000.

I wanna urge all of our Aussie friends to watch Moonlight every week, and spread the word! :) It airs Wednesday nights at 9:30 on Channel Nine.
