Right. Each week 94% of Americans have not seen BBT, but a much larger fraction saw at least one episode.
According to Statista, in May of 2018 29% of Americans said they had *not* seen a single episode (I myself am in this group. In fact, I have only seen 1 episode, the very first). Another 1% could not recall if they had seen even 1 episode in 2018. The rest of the country was evenly divided between three other options: Always, Sometimes, Rarely having seen the show. So, while in any one week only 6% of Americans have seen BBT, in this season 70% saw at least a couple of episodes. It would be interesting to know if that larger number tracks a show’s weekly ratings, or if some shows are sampled at a much higher rate than even the most popular show (probably something like 60 Minuets, or maybe the bigger Reality Shows?). https://www.statista.com/statistics/876485/big-bang-theory-viewership/ On Fri, Jul 13, 2018 at 1:22 AM Adam Bowie <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Jul 12, 2018 at 6:44 PM Jon Delfin <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> A little perspective: "Big Bang Theory" was the most-watched scripted >> show of the 2017-2018 season. >> >> It was *not* watched by 94% of the people of the United States. >> >> Everything else is crumbs. >> > > The stats nerd in me wants to point out that this isn't quite correct. > > The *average* episode may have been watched by 18.9m or so viewers, but a > multiple of this will have watched *at least one* episode across the > season. It won't be the same 18.9m people every week.
