Hard to believe Stranger Things only has 34 episodes. Quite strange indeed.
It’s amazing how many people still love their Seinfeld reruns. Such an awesome show.
1. So NCIS streaming numbers do not include the episodes streaming on Paramount+?
2. New Girl kind of surprised me with its streaming numbers for aquired series.
3. Eternals numbers surprised me for movies.
Paramount+ and Nielsen do not have a measurement agreement at this time.
Same thing with Peacock?
Nope, Peacock is measured (e.g. The Best Man: TFC charted last week).
My guess is that most people don’t stream the current season of Broadcast or cable shows even if watched on a DVR. My household DVRs almost everything on broadcast.
Para+ and Peacock also don’t have large subscriber numbers. We have the free Peacock which doesn’t cover new content.
Peacock does carry new shows M-F every week, I’m not referring to repeats or next day air content.
Peacock does have large # of subscribers. I don’t know how you get yours free but I hope someone takes it away because you don’t enjoy it.
They have a free version. If you want premium content you have to subscribe.
Stranger Things, The Crown👍

Warms my heart to see that Gilmore Girls is still doing so well, YEARS later.
I totally agree
❤️❤️❤️
Stronger Things & Wednesday were by far the best streaming shows this year
Those are pretty incredible numbers for Wednesday. First season, eight episodes. It’s DOUBLE what Lord of the Rings tallied for first season, eight episodes.
I haven’t seen Stronger Things.
It’s with Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw.
Do Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw bench press the entire cast?
Any word on top unscripted views?
There hasn’t been a word from Netflix on The Mole as far as I could see.
Good question David. I am curious. The Mole was the best!! And there are a lot of reality shows streaming these days.
You really have to give credit to the old WB network. Netflix spends billions on original content only for the vast majority to get outviewed out by a couple of shows that originated 20 years ago: Supernatural and Gilmore Girls. Not to mention Heartland: Canada’s version of 7th Heaven.
Is New Girl on Netflix in the States? It’s on Disney+ in Canada.
Why is Grey’s Anatomy renewed? That is why.
Wednesday is the only one in this list which has less than 10 episodes in total and yet being viewed more than 18 billion minutes.
