With Neil Patrick Harris from the popular CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" as host, the Emmys rebounded in the ratings last night. Still, the numbers are not particularly robust.
According to a statement released by CBS:
“The Emmy Awards” was second in households (8.7/14), viewers (13.32 million), adults 25-54 (4.9/11), adults 18-49 (4.2/11) and adults 18-34 (3.4/10) – all behind NBC’s coverage of the New York Giants at the Dallas Cowboys at the new Cowboys Stadium.
Compared to last year’s ceremony, “The Emmy Awards” was up 6% in both households (from 8.2/13) and adults 18-34 (from 3.2/08), up 9% in adults 25-54 (from 4.5/10), up 11% in adults 18-49 (from 3.8/09).”
The show was seen by 13.3 million viewers, up almost a million viewers from last year.
Last year’s show, broadcast by Fox and hosted by five reality show hosts, was the lowest-rated Emmys in history in the 18-49 demo. Other numbers last year were about par with 1990 numbers. So while the show did better this year, it’s still having problems drawing a significant mass audience.
CBS also said that “This is “The Emmy Awards” best delivery in households and viewers since 2006 (when it did not air against football), in key demos since 2007.”
The data is from preliminary national numbers measured by Nielsen Media Research and released by CBS.

“How I Met My Mother”… That’s on right in between the “Little Bang Theory” and “2 1/2 Women”, right? Fact-check much?
I would like to see the difference in ratings between the east coast/midwest (where the show is live) and the rest of the country. I might actually watch if they aired it live on the west coast. Can’t be bothered if I can get the results 3 hours ahead of time.
I am extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it’s rare to see a nice blog like this one these days.. 🙂
