Several news sources that published this data acknowledged that Friends was handicapped by the Thanksgiving holiday.

If I recall correctly, last year's Thanksgiving episode also had lower than normal ratings. Just means that many more people will catch it the second time around.

Does the American ratings system take account of people using their VCRs to time-shift programmes, as happens in Britain?

Shows don't suddenly drop from #2 to #21 in the ratings because there was anything wrong with the show. It's more likely everyone was eating their Thanksgiving dinner.

It was Thanksgiving day. All the shows that night were down, but those early in the night (like Friends) were hit the most.

That's a good point. I figure that being thanksgiving would have cut the airtime into dinnertime. I'm not worried. We've seen this before. er's still number one because it's the end of the night and dishes have already been washed.

No worries. On Thanksgiving, I'm not usually even watching TV, nor do I finish dinner before 8-8:30. I think we'll see a jump in the ratings for Dec 7 and Dec 14

Why didn't NBC repeat 708 a week later, instead of 701?

I don't think you understood me, Lewis.

On November 23rd, NBC showed 708 during Thanksgiving, so people missed it.

On November 30th, NBC showed a rerun of 701, which people had already seen.

Why didn't NBC show a rerun of 708 on November 30th?
