Over 4 million with DVR for “After School Special”
The latest DVR +7 ratings for the week of January 26th – February 1 have been published (a few days too late thanks to the holiday this week), and once again it’s very good news for Supernatural. For the 4th time this season, the ratings have gone over 4 million.
For “After School Special,” the live and same day DVR ratings were a fantastic 3.57 million. The DVR +7 total has come in at 4.08 million. The other episodes so far this season to break the 4 million barrier are “Lazarus Rising” (4.28 million), “In The Beginning” (4.05 million), and “It’s The Great Pumpkin Sam Winchester” (4.07 million).
As I also like to note constantly, and until someone tells me to shut up I will keep doing so, only one episode in season four, “Monster Movie” at 3.57 million, failed with DVR numbers to match last season’s DVR high, which was “Jus In Bello” at 3.59 million. Ratings for all other season four episodes have been easily beat season three’s. It’s a shame that season two’s DVR ratings weren’t tracked, because the live numbers are very close, so I would imagine the DVR numbers would be beating that by a lot since DVR penetration is far greater these days.
Here is the entire list, in which Smallville also did very well:
Here is my updated ratings list, which I keep on this site under the heading “Ratings.” I love comparing this season to last and even season two. Shows with this much increase in viewership in its fourth season is unheard of.
