Damn, thats awesome for a first show.

4.2m saw the most exciting part of the show.

still mediocre numbers. re-runs for a lot of mediocre shows get better numbers than that. and it's only going to get worse because a debut usually will have its strongest numbers and then it goes down after that.

Ok but what does that mean? Is that good or bad?

How many viewers is an average primetime broadcast?

That kind of information would be helpful.

this is 3 times as many people that would have seen this if it were a BAD card and 4 times as many if it were a SCB card.

Its a good start. Obviously not a homerun. President of NBC sports is happy, so thats really all you need to know.

They dominated the most important demo. You win the Demo during a time slot, the advertisers are going to come to you.

no i'm being realistic. thsoe numbers still aren't good or where it needs to be. and like i said a debut show on network televsion will usually draw it's best numbers because people are interested so they check it out, but after they have got a taste they usually decide whether to stick around or leave come the next episode (and many times people leave). so with that understanding you can assume 3.4 million average is about the highest it will go.

plus the matchups aren't very appealing for a lot of hardcore fans.
