According to fast nationals,

1st- NBA Nation (ABC), 4.7/9
2nd- Game Show Marathon, 4.6/8

Great show last night. But, I really thought this episode would get a good sampling and rank over.

I don't think anyone expected "Dance" to break out in its second series the way that it has. And Fox is going to put a rerun of it at 8 p.m. for at least the next three weeks--you can be sure of that. The NBA Finals didn't help either--are there any future games scheduled on Thursday nights?

Game 4 will be, and Game 7 would be.

Doug -- and the countdown to 2000 continues

One thing that helps GSM is that it's up against the pre-game show. The game itself starts at 9:00.

Exactly, Chris. Being an NBA fan, I watched as much NBA coverage as I could before Game Show Marathon was set to begin. (At least I got to see that SICK SICK dunk by D-Wade)

The NBA Finals... usually draw big ratings, especially when you have two great teams that excite people like Dallas and Miami. If this series goes seven games, don't be surprised if NBA Nation tramples the competition. Only 'cause I love watching both teams play, I hope this series goes six or seven games.

As an aside, I certainly hope the Finals go 7 games...it has all the makings of being a classic series. The Finals draw big but have really tailed off in the last 5-6 years or so. The broadcast is great this year since the guys calling the game actually aren't phoning it in (i.e. Al Michaels the last couple of years).

Thank you! Last nite's game was probably one of the most enjoyable games up until I changed it to CBS-2. Both teams excite me in their own way, and Dwyane Wade is becoming a star right before our eyes. The announcers are great this year, although I did enjoy Al Michael's call when Derek Fisher made that shot with 0.4 seconds left. ;-D

sorry this went off-topic, guys!

Bzzz. The Eastern Time Zone has 47.0% of the U.S. population, Central has 32.9%. So, for nearly 80% of the country, the GSM was up against the pre-game show. The remainder is 5.4% for Mountain, 14.1% for Pacific and 0.6% for the others. (Source)

I'll be ready to watch the NBA again when its not a 3-ring circus.

Until then, give me college ball anyday.

This may merely be arguing semantics, but you, mmb5, are wrong. The game did indeed start at 9:00 PM in the Eastern time zone (about 1/4 of the physical contiguous US) only. True, 9:00 Eastern corresponds to 8:00 Central. Still, only about 1/2 the country (land area-wise) saw the NBA Finals game begin at such a time as to allow the viewing of both it and the Marathon without missing any of the other.

Geographically, it's still one-fourth of the country.

Do Nielsen ratings count land area or viewers? If you believe I am still wrong, please go back to your last place of higher education and ask for a refund.

Alright, enough.

Mike, he obviously wasn't talking about Nielsen ratings when you made your original post calling him wrong.

You're both right, and it is semantics. Now shake hands and move on with it.

Looks like you need a refund as well. It's not semantics. A land mass does not watch television. People watch television. Please don't make me use puppets.
