Ratings

Ever since Veronica Mars went on a hiatus, the ratings have dropped significantly. We went from an average of like 2.7 to an average of 1.7. Where did those million people go? And how can we get them back? The last thing this show needs is a drop in the ratings. We need to figure out a way to get more people to watch!

The first episode back, I thought ok maybe people don't know that the show is back on, but that was a couple episodes ago. People know it's on.

Suggestions on what we can do to help.

Now there talking about not showing it until April 5th! That's like 7 weeks! The last break was bas enough...Ugh What is going on?

Hey look what I found!


Holding off on Veronica Mars until March seems to agree with VM's overnight ratings, as they were way up from the last new episode, despite big competition from American Idol.

Here's the overnight ratings breakdown:

YAY!! Let's get those numbers back up!! I feel bad because I can't watch VM, I have to download the episodes because I only have cable and in Canada there is not UPN or another network that runs it =(.

Well hopefully the ratings can stay high like that or go even higher, now Lost was a rerun but still did well. American Idol is just on for the first half hour of 9pm. Lets see how the ratings do for tonights show.

Well luckily the rating only went down .2 We went from 2.2, to 2.0. Now average is about 2.6, so were not doing to bad from the 1.8 from before. Hopefully we can get it to stay this way

Well not that if it moves to Tuesdays at 9pm how you think the ratings will do there/?

Well when they were there originally, they were doing fine. Having like 2.7 million viewers. So hopefully it'll continue to work. I don't know why they changed dates anyway.

"Plan B" Ratings
As the mysteries of Veronica Mars are now unraveling, the ratings are holding steady.

Meanwhile, it looks like Veronica at least has a much better chance than the Bedford Diaries of landing on The CW this fall. Bedford's second airing was worst than its first.

Here's the overnight ratings breakdown for the April 6 airing of "Plan B." Remember that next week, Veronica Mars will be moving to Tuesdays at 9.

Timeslot Rank Show Network Overnight Rating (Last week's rating in parentheses)
#1 American Idol Wednesday
(9-9:30) FOX 16.4/24 (16.4/24)
#2 Lost ABC 10.3/15 (10.6/16)
#3 Unanimous
(9:30-10) FOX 8.4/12 (9.0/13)
#4 Criminal Minds CBS 7.4/11 ® (8.2/12)
#5 Heist NBC 4.7/7 (N/A)
#6 Veronica Mars UPN 2.1/3 (2.0/3)
#7 Bedford Diaries WB 1.4/2 (1.5/2)

Now that we saw some LoVe, AND it's moving back to Tuesdays, I think the ratings will jump even more!

Let's hope so!! I know I'm dying to see more and finally have the mystery solved!

Unfortunately, ratings went down. It could be attributed to the fact, that I'm sure a bunch of ANTM fans stuck around to see Furonda (spelling?) in her guest spot. Hopefully though, ratings will still go up. There's always time.

It's sad though, I was talking to my friend Nalani about VM, and she actually sounded rather interested. She went home from musical rehearsal on Tuesday, with the intention of watching it. I guess when she got home, she sadly discovered, that her satellite provider doesn't have UPN. So that's one more potential-ratings-raiser in the toilet. But there's nothing I can do to control that one...

once the UPN and WB merge into the super-network of CW, hopefully the ratings will bounce back due to one less show to watch. its a nice plus that its not up against Lost but aren't we still up against Idol? there is also news of Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars going back-to-back on CW if VM makes it. Lets cross our fingers and cross our toes...

Yes lets pray that it will be Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars back to back. That would be awesome. And yes lets hope its not up against American Idol.

Yes ratings were not good maybe alot were watching the 10 commendments. But still if fans else where can't see the show cuz of there provider or they put on different times that is not right.
With the merge they dont really have alot of shows to put in the slots. I think couple more shows are beeing canceled. And Smallville isnt doing that well either. But i would like it with GG atfer. Its no matter where they put Vm or any show its gonna be hard to get higher ratings.
I like this show and its not fare if they dont give it more of a chance.
im just rambling.....

I can't believe a lot of people aren't watching this anymore. Where did all the people from last season and the beginning of this season go? I wonder why ratings are dropping? It's just sad knowing theres nothing we can do to help get the ratings back up besides word of mouth.
