Invest In 19 Shows: 2021 Edition (User Tournament UPDATED/FIXED)


Welcome to the 2021-22 edition of The TV Ratings Guide’s game, Invest In 19 Shows! Here’s how it works:

Based on a show’s Live + Same Day performance in Adults 18-49 last season, I will set a price for every show on the fall schedule. For example, a show that averaged a 0.56 last year costs $56,000. New shows will receive the price of the median show on that network. 

 

The catch is you only have $1,150,000. Spend your “money” wisely, because you can invest in 19 and only 19 shows. That comes out to an average of around $60,500 per show. Go ahead and spend $178,000 on The Masked Singer if you’d like, but keep in mind you’d need to invest in quite a few low-rated shows to balance it out. 


At the end of the season, your final score will be the median A18-49 L+SD rating of the 19 shows you invested in. All shows will be counted with the same weight.
