A staple on CBS since 2000, Big Brother dominates the network’s schedule with three airings each week. It always bring in solid ratings but will that trend continue? Will it ever be cancelled? Stay tuned.
Big Brother typically airs three nights a week — Wednesdays (veto), Thursdays (eviction), and Sundays. Julie Chen is the host once again.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
9/24 update: CBS has renewed Big Brother for two more seasons, through Summer 2016.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
For comparisons: Last summer’s Wednesday night editions averaged a 2.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.33 million viewers.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you still like the Big Brother TV series? Do you watch consistently? Should it be cancelled or renewed for another year?
It’s very addicting and very funny there’s a reason there’s a live feed and there’s big brother after dark it’s so addicting we have to watch there moves in the game love this show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crud is in the eye of the beholder. I can’t stand 24 (though my wife likes it) but I enjoy Big Brother.
I can’t understand why this crud is still on. Are people so bored with their own life that they have to resort to watching losers whine on TV?
Couldn’t have said it better myself. ABC can say whatever they want, the glass house was a ripoff of this show, and they should slap themselves for putting themselves in that position for a stupid crap show like this one. This show is so stupid, and anyone that watches, seriously, WTF?
Says the guy who took the precious time out of his day to post a comment about this “stupid crap” show.
I bet you never miss an episode. Heck, I bet you’ve even got a subscription to the live feeds! Better yet, you probably set your DVR to record After Dark so you can watch it first thing in the morning.
I love this show. I cant wait to see what bb has planned for this season. So excited:) Awesome show……
