probably the only time i am interested in the ratings
but i gotta agree if they dont make 3.5+ then they should be worried

I don't know much about ratings, so I have to ask: would Undertaker's SURPRISE return have affected ratings? It was just 7 minutes long, how can that much time be enough to boost ratings? Sorry if that sounds stupid.

January 30th, 2012
Hour 1 - 5.318m (last week: 4.667m)
* last year - 5.231m
Hour 2 - 5.124m (last week: 4.568m)
* last year - 5.338m

Source: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...h-more/118084/

Last Week
- Hour 1 - 1.8 18-49 rating
- Hour 2 - 1.7 18-49 rating

This Week
- Hour 1 - 2.1 18-49 rating
- Hour 2 - 2.1 18-49 rating

Obviously really good numbers for all concerned. Last year, the numbers went back under 5m, but with them bringing 'Taker back last night, one has to wonder if the ratings will increase next week.

Also, just because hour 2 is lower than hour 1, the overrun will probably still be near ~6m.

Great numbers.

dont know a lot about ratings but yes it should boost the ratings
the overrun will have a high rating which then affects the average rating of the show

[The Cynical Miracle]

And Vince thows a party.

So they are above 5mio
still a decline in the second hour
quarter hours should be interesting

[Mister Excitement]

Damn good numbers. Too bad it still decreased in the 2nd hour.

[A-C-P]

Over 5 million no panic needed (not that there was any reason to panic anyways)

Ah... Thanks.

Nice, an increase of 600,000 from last week.
