Ratings: The Best Burger In New York

This post will be updated with more information as it becomes available. The ratings post for 401 has been updated with end-of-week analysis from CBS.

Viewers: 8.8 million. Down about a million from last week, but drop-off after a premiere is typical. This week also had the added competition of the premiere of NBC’s Chuck: last week, NBC aired a Heroes clip show.

Adults 18-49: 3.7/9

Adults 25-54: 4.2/10

Households: 5.6/8

Compared to other networks: HIMYM placed second (in all categories - viewers, households, 18-49, and 25-54) in its timeslot - behind Dancing with the Stars, but ahead of Chuck, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Gossip Girl. CBS came second to ABC in all categories except adults 18-49, where it just barely beat ABC out.

Compared to the other CBS comedies: HIMYM was third in viewers (Two and a Half: 13.76, Worst Week: 9.31, HIMYM: 8.8, TBBT: 8.71). HIMYM was second in 18-49 (Two and a Half: 4.7/11, HIMYM: 3.7/9, TBBT: 3.3/9, Worst Week: 3.1/7), second in 25-54 (Two: 6.1/13, HIMYM: 4.2/10, TBBT: 4.0/10, Worst Week: 4.0/9), and last in households (Two and a Half: 8.6/12, Worst Week: 5.8/9, TBBT: 5.5/9, HIMYM: 5.6/8), which is unsurprising given that HIMYM skews young.

Thanks heaps for that, I really like to know how HIMYM is doing in the ratings so we can predict the likelihood of its renewal. It’s probably a little early to specualte already, but I would die if HIMYM was axed and so far things are up from last season. According to Wikipedia the show is still up in viewers from the same time last season.

With the syndications deal, and its solid, if not unspectacular ratings for a sitcom, I really don’t see how it cannot renewed. Anyway, we’ll see.
