‘So You Think You Can Dance’ Preferred Over ‘Deal or No Deal’…
…sort of.
While Fox’s So You Think You Dance is definitely no American Idol-level phenomenon, it achieved a respectable feat on Wednesday night in the Nielsen ratings by attracting more viewers in the 18–49 age bracket than NBC’s omnipresent Deal or No Deal juggernaut. In fact, Dance was the highest rated show for that age group during the 9pm–10pm time period.
The high point comes with a low(er) point as well, however, since Deal actually drew more viewers overall.
Even so, Dance fans can now brag about how their show was No. 1 this week, as long as they don’t mind leaving out that irrelevant addendum “…on Wednesday night between 9 and 10pm among viewers ranging from 18 to 49 years old.” :-)
Hey, why not? The networks do it all the time.
