The third week of October came to an end, marking the completion of the pilot phase of the 'broadcast season' and the official start of the first 'cleaning month'.

Nielsen Data began to collect and organize data statistics on a large scale, and Nielsen Data distributed up to 5 million viewership surveys to all regions of the United States every month, and viewers were asked to fill in the specific time they watched the TV station each day, what programs they watched, and what family members watched each program.

At the same time, Nielsen Data has provided a free 'TV data logger' to one million households in the United States, which is available free of charge by voluntary application.

As the nation's largest data collection and statistics company, Nielsen provides clients with a variety of viewership data surveys each month. Most of these customers are TV stations and TV media peripheral service companies.

After a few days of collation, on Monday morning of week four, Nielsen officially released the results of the ratings survey.

The results showed that NBC's "Friends" ranked first in the ratings, with an average viewership of 12 million people and a peak rating of 15 million. The 18-49rating data is 3.6, accounting for 30.7% of the total ratings.

This result was almost everyone's expectation.

As the highest-rated sitcom of all time, almost everyone was optimistic about it from the beginning. "Friends" has no suspense and has become the biggest winner of the first "Cleaning Month".

NBC TV subsequently announced that due to the excellent ratings of "Friends", "Friends", which was originally decided to end the eighth season, will continue to be renewed for two more seasons, officially ending the tenth season in 2003.

NBC's announcement of the decision immediately hit the headlines. Major print media have used the titles of 'the longest-lived sitcom' and 'the highest-rated sitcom king of all time'.

With such a terrifying profit, it's no wonder that NBC TV will announce that it will be ordered until the tenth season.

In second and third place are the second season of CBS TV's "CSI Investigation/CSI", with an average rating of 9.65 million and a maximum rating of 10.37 million.

and the fourth season of Fox TV's classic column "The 70s Show", with an average rating of 9.51 million people and a maximum rating of 11 million.

As soon as this data was announced, "Crime Scene Investigation/CSI" also suddenly made a big splash, occupying the second place in the ratings with the new drama of the second season, CBS TV was also very excited, and was very optimistic about this crime type of American drama, CBS TV directly announced that it would directly order the third season for the whole season.

The fourth season of "The 70s Show", which is the third runner-up, has seen a drop in ratings compared to last year, but its average rating of 9.51 million viewers per episode still qualifies it for continued renewal.

Some people are happy and some are worried, the popular 'medical drama' in the past few years has planted a big heel in this 'broadcast season', ABC TV has almost been wiped out, and the first three episodes of the five medical dramas have dismal ratings, with an average rating of less than 2 million people, and it has been announced that it has been 'cut'.

Only "Funny Family", which took the last train of the sitcom, had poor ratings, ranking fourth in average ratings. But since the first episode aired, the ratings of each episode have been on a downward trend, leaving ABC TV's top brass anxious.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the final data was summarized, and the top four were no longer in suspense, and they were occupied by the four major TV stations.

People pay attention to the profit rankings for longs!

"Friends" is the undisputed number one, with a subscription price of nearly $8 million per episode, advertising revenue of up to $12 million for half-hour airtime, and nearly $4 million per episode (30 minutes).

CSI/CSI has a subscription price of $6.5 million per episode, $10.4 million in advertising revenue for half-hour airtime, and $5.8 million per episode (60 minutes).

"The '70s Show" has a subscription price of $6.5 million per episode, $9.2 million in advertising revenue for half-hour airtime, and $5.4 million per episode (60 minutes).

The first season of "Funny Family" was priced at $3.5 million per episode, with $5.5 million in advertising revenue for half-hour airtime and $2 million in advertising revenue per episode (30 minutes).

When they saw the fourth place in the 'profit list', almost everyone couldn't believe it, because the fourth place was "The Big Bang Theory"!

The fourth place "The Big Bang Theory" first season was $50,000 per episode, $1.85 million in half-hour advertising revenue, and $1.8 million in advertising revenue per episode (30 minutes).

$50,000 per episode?

When they saw this number, countless people thought that the Nielsen data was wrong.

When hundreds of calls were received, Nielsen Data responded.

A Nielsen Data spokesperson responded, "All of our data collection and collection efforts are completely scientific and credible, and I vouch for the credibility of Nielsen for more than half a century, and there are no problems with all the data." ”

Nielsen Data was founded in the United States in 1923, and after nearly 80 years of development, Nielsen Data has become a symbol of 'authority'.

Since the Nielsen data is not wrong, it proves that "The Big Bang Theory" was really made for $50,000.

Fifty thousand! $50,000 can't even hire a big star's hair, is $50,000 enough for a well-known editor to write a script?

Almost all media people went crazy and began to try to dig into the truth of the whole incident.

When people finally found "The Big Bang Theory" on the 'ratings charts', the entire media industry was shocked and couldn't say a word.

When I saw "The Big Bang Theory", which had an average rating of only 3.15 million people, the highest rating was as high as 9.13 million, and the lowest rating was only 187,000.

How scary is this?

The well-known media person 'Haimo' even posted: "It's really a hell of a life, I'm afraid the world can't find such a terrible thing!" It only took six weeks, from the 187,000 viewers of the first episode to the 9.13 million viewers of the sixth episode, it really only took six weeks! Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on? Even if someone told me now that God leaked nude photos, I would believe it! ”

As a well-known media person in the United States, the words of 'Haimer' suddenly added fuel to the fire, and countless media people began to chase and dig frantically.

Everyone wants to know how an American drama with an episode of $50,000 managed to dominate the fourth place in the 'profit list', second only to the four major TV stations.

Since the last boycott, American Television News has shown much more 'closeness' to Link and CAA TV in order to save sales.

And ATC also saw the opportunity, because ATC had done in-depth coverage of CAA TV and The Big Bang Theory, and they would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The latest issue of American Television 'exclusively' revealed the filming of The Big Bang Theory.

When readers see the unfamiliar names in the cast, countless people are asking, who are they? Why do they work 'miracles'?

That's right, it's a miracle!

'Hemmer' has begun to use the word 'miracle' to describe how he feels now.

Especially when people see that the producer, director, and screenwriter are the same person, countless people suddenly realize!

Link, it turned out to be him!
