overall rating / overall share / 18-49 year-olds rating

December 1, 1999

So what does that prove? Well, it proves that Dharma and Spin City compliment each other. Their ratings numbers were close to each other in both hour solts. They varied quite a bit when you compare 8pm to 9pm, but as a team they seem pretty compatible. The question for next week is how will Oh Grow Up fit into their little family? If we can hold on to 90% of Spin City's audience, then we have a good chance. The further we fall below that magic number, the greater our chance of not surviving into January. Other notable occurances... That 70s Show turned in a killer performance at 8pm, winning the half-hour in adults 18-49. That's a little frightening. That makes the competition stiff all around. 3rd Rock and 70s will fight for the 18-49 year-olds and over on CBS, JAG is the easy weekly winner in households. This move to Tuesdays was a good thing, right?


Industry analysis...

December 8, 1999

"FOX's sizzling sophomore That 70s Show led 8-9pm in adults 18-49 and CBS' high-flying JAG was a close second, as ABC and NBC's comedies crashed to third and fourth, respectively, that hour. Just Shoot Me was fourth at 8pm, though a rerun rose to first at 9:30. That 70s Show is the first FOX series ever to win the Tuesday 8-8:30 half-hour in adults 18-49 during the regular season."
