According to Zap2it.com, Nielsen Ratings from 56 "metered markets" report Conan On TBS at a 2.8 household rating share, while The Tonight Show With Jay Leno has a 2.7 ratings share.
The question is will that hold? It's logical to expect Conan to do better than The Tonight Show With Jay Leno because Monday was Conan's much hyped debut. But what happens later in the week? What about next week?
Conan Gets Good and Bad Reviews
The Tonight Show With Jay Leno's ratings aside, Conan's quirky humor returns to the screen with mostly good reviews for his first show. Still, it's great to see Conan, who was treated horribly by NBC when Jay Leno decided he wanted his Tonight Show gig back, return to late night television.
By the way, Leno's not invited on Conan on TBS.
I DVRed both Jay & Conan. To me, they are both good, but not great.
ReplyDeleteBut I predict Conan will have big problems. After the lead-in & monologue, he wasn’t very funny. He is making some of the same mistakes he made on his Tonight Show such as moving left/right on the stage so much the camera has trouble following him. It’s hard on the eyes. And he does other things wrong also.
Good luck to you Conan, but my prediction is a mediocre show. Conan’s lucky it is easy to survive on cable.
Jay needs to retired. He should have retired when he was on top! Now, his ratings are getting lower and lower...

ReplyDeleteI am glad that TBS took a chance. It has been on for several months and is still going strong. I still catch it almost every night on channel 138 TBS in HD on DISH Network. As a DISH employee and subscriber I can tell you that right now you can qualify to get HD free for life. Go to http://www.dishnetwork.com/packages/free-hdtv/default.aspx for more information
