Ratings are in for 10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty

Reruns of Full House beats Bigfoot Bounty in Nielson’s ratings

At Bigfoot Lunch Club we look forward to anything bigfoot-related, research, news, thermal underwear and even TV game shows. Spike TV’s 10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty is no exception. Let’s check out how America reacted to it first.

For some bigfooters, Friday Jan 10th was the night the wait would end. It was the night that 10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty would debut. For most of Americans, however, the 10pm slot was a time to tune into other offerings.

We should be clear, the ratings we share are for three time segments; all day, Prime time and the 10/9 Central time slot.

For the “All Day” metric, The 10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty did not even break the top 100 cable shows. If you reduce the competition to only prime time shows, Bigfoot Bounty ranked #35 at 633,000 total viewers according to TheFutonCritic.com. Of that 633,000, only 233,000 are in the coveted 18-49 aged demographic.

If you isolate the ratings even further to the 10/9 central timeslot, we can share the other shows that beat 10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty: Bering Sea Gold (DISC) Modern Family (USA), TreeHouse Masters (APL), Helix (SYFY) TBS Prime Movie (TBSC), American Dad (ADSM) American Pickers, After the first 48 hours (AEN), Diners, Drive Ins and Dives (FOOD) Full House (NAN), Dead Files (TRAV), Tosh.O (CMDY).

We give a full review and  dig a little deeper and look at other factors that affect a shows ratings. That’s right, find out how the Olsen twins beat Bigfoot Bounty at Bigfoot Lunch Club.
