Competition plays a major role in our everyday culture. Television networks experience competition every time their shows are played on television. Each competes to be the best and desire to have their shows played during the largest viewing audience. Many of the highest rated shows tend to be played during the hours of 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM.
One of my favorite shows and probably one of your favorite shows as well is, Desperate Housewives that premier on ABC Sundays at 9:00 PM. I have been watching this show since it has first began. I greatly enjoy this show because of its humor and its ability to take the audience out of the “real world” for an hour’s time.
This show has very strong ratings according to http://tv.zap2it.com. 18,933,000 total viewers watch this show from 2007-2008 Season through March 3, 2008. Its ratings/share is 11.9/17 in the household. USAToday.com tells us a little more about the target audience of Desperate Housewives by stating it targets viewers between the age ranges of 18-49 year olds.
Currently at its Sunday 9 PM scheduled airing spot, it does not have a large amount of rival network competition. When coming across a feeling of ratings’ decrease, it is most likely due to NBC Sunday Night Football because games are being played during the show. I think that there would be a major impact if the show’s day had been changed from Sunday at nine. Then it would begin to have some strong competition coming from FOX and CBS.
Depending on the day that they would schedule it would determine who and what shows that they would compete. Some shows that would be troublesome to Desperate Housewives would be the very popular CSI which brings in very high ratings with every viewing and also produces twice as many episodes during their season. Their ratings could possibly drop because of the intense competition that it would be facing. The loyal Desperate Housewives viewers may make a decision to not watch if another show is on at the same time that they may have become intrigued in when Desperate Housewives was on Sundays.
If it were not for competition would television be as good as it is today? What would the ratings look like if that were the case? We may not realize it, but television ratings are very important for our favorite shows to stay alive. So for all you Desperate Housewives fans out there keep watching and let’s keep the ratings up!
