I’m sort of a numbers nerd so this stuff is pretty interesting to me… Anyways I was pretty bored so I thought I’d share.
Here’s a look at the DVR numbers for “30 Rock” so far:
Guide: Live +7 is the total viewers who watch the episode live plus up to seven days after on DVR. “DVR Viewers” is the number of people who watch the episode on DVR. “Rank” is the place 30 Rock came in that week amongst other primetime shows for DVR viewers. “Percentage” is the % of people who watch it on DVR.

It looks as if 2 million people a week (or about a quarter of 30 Rock’s audience) are too busy on Thursday nights watching “Grey’s Anatomy” or “CSI” or maybe having actual lives that they watch later in the week.
Sure DVR numbers don’t mean too much (advertisers don’t pay for DVR viewers since they fast forward comercials) but it’s pretty significant that 50th-odd ranked show places in the top 15 for DVR viewers. I’m just glad more people are watching this show!
