Giggled at me last night as you channel surfed by it and thought about this post I wrote yesterday, right?
HA!
Don't you know by now that I'm the all-knowing, all-seeing, TV sage, except for when I'm not?
TV By The Numbers has the press release from the cable channel:
New York - June 30, 2009 - Oxygen’s highly anticipated dance/weight-loss competition show “Dance Your Ass Off” became the most watched series premiere in network history among W18-49, A18-49 and total viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research Fast Nationals. The telecast drew an impressive 1.3 million total viewers; 614,000 A18-49, 432,000 W18-49, and 173,000 W18-34 launching Oxygen’s second night of original programming on Monday nights.
Hits on www.Oxygen.com also reached record breaking levels with nearly 40,000 unique visitors yesterday alone, a record for an Oxygen premiere. The show site has generated more than one million page views since it launched a month ago.
Compared to the previous four Mondays’ average, last night increased 249% among A18-49 (614,000 vs. 176,000), 211% on F18-49 (432,000 vs. 139,000), 204% among F18-34 (173,000 vs 57,000) and 249% among total viewers (1,269,000 vs. 364,000). This comes on the heels of Oxygen’s strongest first six months of the year among A18-49 (224,000, up 8% vs. 2008), W18-49 (172,000, up 16%), W18-34 (91,000, up 25%), total viewers (414,000, up 11%).
That's enormous for a channel up there on the second or third tier of your cable service.
Congrats to the fabulous Lisa Ann Walter and her producing partners Sally Ann Salsano and Kate Rigg.
Judge Danny Teeson = Hot. Did you remember him from Queer Eye For The Straight Girl? No? Me neither.
Wanna see more of him? Don't click this, it's his director/choreographer reel at YouTube. The clip you want is this one.
See a recap of the first episode after the jump. It was a lot of fun. My only regrets about the show is that they use cover versions of songs. If the numbers grow the way I think they should they may be able to attract the actual recording artists.
Mondays at 10, on Oxygen. Here's their website.
