Season 3 Ratings
May 15, 2009
To check out ratings for the entire series check here. 3.22 – Kidney Now: 5.695 million viewers (3.4/5 Share. 2.8/7 in the demo.) FINAL. [322] 30 Rock and The Office got crushed during last nights Season finale extravaganza. (The Office was below 7 million!) I’m sure they’ll get a huge boost up in the DVRs, but still we need to get these numbers higher next season! We don’t want Jack’s prediction that TGS only has two more seasons to come true! 3.21 – Mama Mia: 6.13 million viewers (3.8/6 Share. 2.9/8 in the demo.) FINAL. Older Season 3 ratings under the break: 3.20 – The Natural Order: 5.95 million viewers (3.6/6 Share. 2.9/7 in the demo.) FINAL. [321] Ok back up a little bit, but still not great. I guess there was a big wedding on Greys Anatomy that could have hurt. Hope the finale goes up some more so we can end the season on a positive note. [320] – Another drop in the ratings. Not great… Thank goodness we already have a 4th season! But we’re gonna need to rally the viewers next year. Hopefully the ratings go up for the last couple episodes. [319] Ratings fell again. But everything was down Thursday. From The Office to Greys to CSI. [318] 30 Rock kicked butt last night. Not only did it score it’s best numbers since February (though it’s demo was beaten back in March) but it fell less than 1 million viewers behind The Office. That was it’s best retention since November. Hopefully 30 Rock can keep up the good numbers to finish out its season! [317] Ratings fell a bit this week. Weird considering the promotion for Parks and Rec. But the office lead in was at an all time low too. Hope it goes back to 7 million. [316] Ratings up a tad bit again. I’m loving these numbers. NBC’s 2nd rated show in the demo for yet another week! Hopefully it’ll be a bit higher in 2 weeks with Parks and Rec. [315] Pretty sold numbers with a new Office lead in. Viewers were up, but the demos were down a little, probably because of the big Greys Anatomy episode and the NCAA Tourney. [314] Down almost a million this week. This is possibly because of the NCAA Conference Tournaments. In fact all shows in the 9-10 PM spots got hit pretty bad. Office was down over a million, which hurt the most. CSI was down 4 million from last week and Grey’s Anatomy was down almost 2 million from their last new episode. I expect a rebound (pun) next week! Pages: 1 2 Posted in Season 3 |

Yay! Way to go 30 rock!!
i saw The Office last night, and I too realized that the feud between Dwight and Andy was similar to Frank and Toofer’s identiy confusion.
hopefully 30 rock’s ratings keep going up

Finally, 30 Rock get’s (1/10th) of the audience it deserves!
Good job Liz, and may the power of TGS be with you.
Also, I think they should air a fresh new episode of 30 Rock (or even the Oprah one) right after the Super Bowl (since it’s on NBC this year)–think of the exposure!
October 31st, 2008 at 11:45 pm
Yaaay!
And, ohmygosh, it beat Heroes? I feel bad for that show.
November 1st, 2008 at 2:46 pm
thank god. i was stressin out.

NBC said it’s already going with a special Office episode after the Superbowl.

I think an average viewership of 7mil for season 3 would be a really great number. That would mean a steady increase over the last three years [season 1 - 5.8, season 2 - 6.4]
And NBC shows with 7 million viewers get renewed, and that’s not considering 30 Rock’s award hardware.
We can’t have another Arrested Development situation. [rip]

This show is no way in any trouble. NBC loves it and wouldn’t have renewed it even after a first season if they didn’t believe in it. The fact that its audience has grown year-to-year is a strong enough reason to keep it. Take its awards and genuine creativity into account, and you’ve got a great show story.

As long as 30rock keeps getting a variety of new viewers then I’m fine. Hopefully they will all show up for the season 4 premier
I think that NBC should go with 30 rock for the after super bowl spot. The office is semi serialized, so I don’t think a lot of people will start watching it after the Super Bowl. Maybe they’re start with the first season and move on. Plus, 30 rock has more self contained episodes so it will bring in more people and while they might not watch is religiously like some of us, they might become a casual viewer and slowly…they will get sucked in.
Who else thinks that it would be perfect to have the winning team on TGS? They could film the scenes with both teams and air the one with the winners.

I agree with Eric. I bet we have at least two more guaranteed seasons of 30 rock. Tina Fey is hot now, the show has critical buzz, wins awards, various guest stars, SNL is popular thanks to Tina and Micheal Lourdes (who is an executive producer on 30 rock). Plus, NBC wants a solid comedy block, who knows how long the office will be on the air, and it took the office a while to get some steam going.

NBC decided to go with an hour Office special after the Superbowl. I guess that’s ok since it will bring attention to NBC’s Thursday night, but I wish they had went with half an hour of The Office and half an hour of 30 Rock.

Oh man, the 1/8 episode was so great. That just stinks about the ratings. Maybe if those clowns Silverman and Zuckerman weren’t so busy promoting all their crap reality shows they’d promote and schedule 30 Rock in the way it deserves.

I think Liz Lemon sitting on the toilet got everyone to tune in!!!
February 13th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Agreed, Thirdheat!

What the what?! Craziness. I love that the top 3 viewed episodes are Do-Over, Believe in the Stars, and Valentine’s Day, since I consider two of them to be iffy episodes. Believe in the Stars deserves to be up there of course.

Solid numbers! I’m glad it’s able to stay in the 7 million-range.

Re: The Natural Order–There was a pretty crucial NBA playoff game (Celtics vs. Bulls) going on at the same time. I bet that affected 30 Rock’s numbers for the week.
May 5th, 2009 at 6:47 am
I think LGA is absolutely right. The awful ratings with The Natural Order were due to the playoff games. In saying that, this show’s ratings are never really that great and that is such a disappointment – it gets nowhere near the viewership it deserves, but gets all the awards it deserves. I hope that if the ratings stay this shallow that at least if the show keeps winning awards, it’ll stick around for awhile. Also, I think promoting it has some to do with the not so great ratings. NBC constantly promotes The Office like crazy and even it’s two new Thursday night shows, Parks and Southland, more than 30 Rock. At least in my opinion. I hope there’s at least two more season – I can’t imagine it ending next year =/

We have to get to season 6! Syndication! Do it for Alice, NBC!

Maybe Palin will do something crazy at the end of the summer, giving another ratings boost after another Tina SNL appearance. It’s the only thing Palin is good for.

its the best series invented.
