Compelling Television: Ratings and Scheduling
USA has another House marathon coming up. Episodes to be determined. Friday, 8/24 @ 11pm - House Training Friday, 8/31 @ 11pm - Family Friday, 9/7 @ 11 - Resignation Thursday, 9/13 @ - tbd Saturday, 9/15 @ 6pm-midnight - 6 episode marathon

Don't forget, if you're in the UK - next Thursday, we get the least 2 episodes in a row. W00t. Not that I'll actually be in the country, but that's entirely beside the point.

The review in The Guardian of the last two eps of the season, which were on last night (SEE how long we have to wait for this in this country, bah) mildly amused me on my way to work this morning: http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv_and_radio/story/0,,2155433,00.html 'House then rants at Boreman' heh

Very funny! I especially liked Chase's T shirt.

Loved this dyspeptic view of the show, especially "it's the organ-slicer we want, not his monkeys." How hilarious, how true!

That is hilarious, thanks for sharing. Loved the Boreman & Chase's t-shirt comments (:aww: pets the wombat, I'm sure one of us will be happy to make sure he gets home).

Aww, poor Chase! Boreman was great, and very true :).

USANETWORK has just announced a INTERNS PUSHED TOO FAR MARATHON SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 15 6PM/5C Now that House won't have Cameron, Chase and Forman to kick around anymore, go back in time to see the beginnings of the rift. USA presents the six-hour "Interns Pushed Too Far" Marathon on Saturday, September 15, beginning at 6PM/5C. They haven't announced which episodes will be shown, but 6 hours of House back-to-back? - works for me :P

INTERNS PUSHED TOO FAR MARATHON, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 15 6PM/5C Now that House won't have Cameron, Chase and Forman to kick around anymore, go back in time to see the beginnings of the rift. USA presents the six-hour "Interns Pushed Too Far" Marathon on Saturday, September 15, beginning at 6PM/5C. Here's the schedule: DNR Acceptance Heavy Son of a Coma Guy The Jerk Human Error

Bumping this up to remind folks the USA Network marathon is on right now (Acceptance just started - oh, season 2, be still my heart....).

REMINDER - House is scheduled for an hour earlier than normal i.e. 8 pm EST/7 pm CST on Tuesday 18th (Human Error is airing) per fox.com

Lines in the Sand is the USA repeat tonight...watch the first 50 minutes or so, and then switch over to Leno!

3 days until the premier! Yay!

Fast affiliate ratings, from The Programming Insider: Lead-out House rose to first overall from 9-10 p.m., with a hefty 18.13 million viewers and a 7.7/19 among adults 18-49. Comparably, House opened last season (on Sept. 5, 2006) with a similar 19.65 million viewers and a 7.2/20 in the demo. I don't think last year's premiere had DwtS to contend with though...DwtS Monday had 21.2M viewers, Tuesday had 18.34M - but they are much lower in A18-49. For comparison, last season's finale had about 17M viewers and a 6.6 rating in A18-49. The year-ago episode (304) had 14.5M viewers and a 6.1 A18-49 rating.

FOX, ABC Split Tuesday Honors 'House' afire in 18-49; 'Cane,' 'Reaper' do OK September 26, 2007 ----------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to "House," FOX grabbed the top spot among adults 18-49 with a 5.4 rating. ABC and NBC tied for second at 3.6. CBS drew a 2.9 for fourth, and The CW came in at 1.5. FOX moved in front at 9 p.m. with the "House" season premiere, 10.7/16 (it was also the night's No. 1 show in the 18-49 demo). "Dancing," 13.0/19, and "Boston Legal," 7.1/11, put ABC in second. The premiere of "The Unit" on CBS was a fairly distant third, but still finished two points ahead of "The Biggest Loser," 4.7/7 on NBC. The debut of "Reaper" scored a 2.1/3, building slightly on its lead-in. http://www.zap2it.com/tv/ratings/zap-ratings092507,0,3498638.story?coll=zap-tv-ratings-headlines
