The Good Wife tops in Timeshifted

By David Knox on February 23, 2010 / Filed Under News 8

Timeshifted data has boosted The Good Wife to the #1 show in the first week of official ratings.

In Overnight figures the show finished #5th for the week on 1,407,000 but after Consolidated (Timeshifted) figures, it picked up another 139,000, which sees it lift to #1.

The figures released were for the week of February 7th.

Of the top 20 audience gains by number, two were comedies, one was light entertainment and the remaining 17 were dramas.

The Age notes that the biggest gains went to 7TWO’s Heroes (up 33%) and Seven’s season premiere of Lost (up 32.6 %), SBS’ crime drama The Fixer (up 26%), and Nine’s Without a Trace (15.5%).

Drama and late night shows continue to benefit from Timeshifted data collected by OzTAM.

    The Good Wife is a great show & at 8:30pm. I’m just pi**ed off that channel Ten has moved “Talkin’ Bout Your Generation” from Tuesday to Sunday. Ratings for the show have been the biggest when it was on Tuesday & now numbers have dropped heaps since it’s move to Sunday.

    Channel 10 can you please put “Talkin’ Bout Your Generation” back to Tuesday 7:30pm where over 1.5 million viewers enjoyed it.

    9 have already taken Without a Trace out of the schedule despite it excellent ratings at 10:30 and now these ratings make it look even better. They did the same with ER and that ended up on GO so may be this will end up on GO as well?

    Hmm, perplexing. I have been really disappointed by The Good Wife. Each episode is all wrapped up a little too neatly for my liking and there isn’t much meat on its bones.
    Love Juliana Margulies though…it’s just not living up to the hype.

    @ tomothy: I doubt it seeing as these figures would not benefit advertisers.

    But will the networks wait for this info before cancelling a show?
