For this post, I read an article online about the ratings of all the shows that premiered last week on TV. I learned that ABC had the most viewers during the opening week of shows and it aired 3 of the top 4 shows for the premiere week. I found it interesting that over the course of its 3 night premiere, “Dancing With The Stars” was the most watched show during that time. Another interesting fact about “Dancing With The Stars” is that on the results show last Wednesday, that show was the most viewed during the 8:00-9:00 hour since last November. Although that is not surprising, since performing on the results show that night were popular bands/singers such as Jesse McCartney, and my personal favorite, the Jonas Brothers!! “Ugly Betty”, “Desperate Housewives” and “Grey’s Anatomy” had its biggest amount of viewers in almost a year. What I find even more amazing about the number of people that watched this, is that most people record shows on DVR or TiVo and just watch it on their time. But all these records were from live TV, which to me seems pretty incredible since more and more people are using devices such as DVR.
