Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

SNW is apparently #1 in demand original streaming series in the US right now.

If you are interested in the popularity of Strange New Worlds, why are you referring to "Parrot Analytics" and not to the Nielsen streaming charts?
Paramount+ is sending data to Nielsen since February 27 this year.


Out of interest, what is your source for this?

If you see the phrase "demand" it means it's data from the audience measurement company "Parrot Analytics".
"Demand Expressions" is a marketing term they invented. It's a made-up metric that has a dubious basis that does not reflect reality and what people are actually watching.

Example:

According to "Parrot Analytics", Star Trek Prodigy is one of the most in-demand TV shows in the US.

Right.

Keep in mind, that is "demand" for "TV shows" not "animated shows".
"Parrot Analytics" is saying that there is a higher "demand" for "Star Trek: Prodigy" than for Taylor Sheridan shows like "Tulsa King", "Mayor Of Kingstown", "1923", or other Paramount shows like "FBI", "S.W.A.T." or "SEAL Team".
"Parrot Analytics" is also saying that "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" has a higher "demand" than "NCIS".
So much for the validity of "Parrot Analytics" and their "demand" metric.

Canadian Charts. The only reliable source.
Someone needs to claim the CanadianCharts.com domain name.
Well, it's got to be at least as good as the Canadian Chart Guys stuff.

:techman::lol:
Which, according to a Toronto-based tracking firm's pie graph, is the best.
9 out of 10 Mounties agree...
Eh, you hosers have never been oot and aboot in Canada, eh?
If the ratings charts don't find you handsome they can at least find you useful!

I have not posted data from Numeris for over a year now. I'm living rent-free in so many people's heads.

Canadian charts are so 2010s, early 2020s.

It's 2023.
We have data from Nielsen now.
You can look it up for yourself.

No need for "Parrot Analytics", "Whip Media", or data from some third-party audience tracking and analytics companies.


If I'm reading the article right, I don't know if this is the same source that F. King Daniel saw, it was the top show among users on a TV tracking app. So I don't think it's accurate to say it's the most in demand original streaming right now (although it may be but not based on the article). It's more accurate to say it had the most added views among U.S. users of a TV Tracking app.

"TV Time, a Whip Media company, is a free TV and movie viewership tracking app with more than 25 million global users. The streaming originals chart rankings are determined by streaming original TV series with the greatest share of views in the given week, among a balanced panel of U.S. users of the TV Time app."

Why rely on some third-party analytics company and not on data send from Paramount+ to Nielsen if you are interested in the popularity of Strange New Worlds?

To see how accurate "Whip Media" is you just need to compare their ranking with the latest data from Nielsen:

There are quite a few inconsistencies.
According to "Whip Media" "Secret Invasion" was in first place, "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" in fourth place, and "The Witcher" in eighth place.
According to "Nielsen" "Secret Invasion" was in 9th place and "The Witcher" in fourth place with almost double the watched minutes.
But hey, just a few minor discrepancies.

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is not even in the Nielsen Top Ten charts for that week.

Even if what you say is true (and I am by no means suggesting I believe it) why does it matter? Why does any of that matter?
 

I'm good, yo.

TOS never ranked higher than 52nd in the year-end Nielsens the whole three seasons it was on the air. Yet we're ALL here talking Star Trek because that series existed and went the way it did.

I'm not the one who started that recent discussion.
I'm not the one who brought up the popularity and streaming rank of Strange New Worlds and compared it to other shows.
People here seem to be very interested in the popularity and streaming rank of SNW and discussed it.
Why aren't you lambasting them for bringing that topic up?

Since when is Star Trek a popularity contest? Did you all become fans because it was the cool thing to do? Except, of course, @cooleddie74 , for obvious reasons.

why does it matter? Why does any of that matter?

Why are you asking me that and not the people who started the recent discussion about the popularity and streaming rank of Strange New Worlds?

Even if what you say is true (and I am by no means suggesting I believe it)

What don't you believe?
That Paramount+ is cooperating with Nielsen? Or that I'm making up Nielsen date?
How exactly do you think I'm supposed to make up the Nielsen date?
 
Numbers are numbers. And they're accurate. Or not.

Depends on one's point of view, as another space-based franchise often told us.

Maybe.
