As a kid my family called me ‘digital brain’ in recognition of my arithmetic skills which were honed in response to my fascination to numbers.  And this lead on to statistics; firstly with sports averages and then as my knowledge base grew to other areas and particularly in my late teens, I became fascinated on election nights with voter tallies; what precincts voted how, why and so on.  I would spend hours pouring over them and now I get that fix from Nate Silver on his New York Times blog Five Thirty Eight.

Some years later I found myself on a reality TV show where, frankly a show’s success is mostly judged by its ratings and I started accumulating data on the show I was on, then its co-competitors (as they developed) and then broader to the entire channel.

Over the next few weeks and months I’ll load up this site with data I’ve amassed for most Bravo TV Shows categorized into genre; program name, per season and then provide some comparative analysis.

Currently Bravo airs 5 nights of original programming and there will be daily posts Tuesday through Friday with the previous night’s ratings as well as a weekly summary posted Saturday mornings.

This is my own sort of ‘inside the beltway at the 30 Rock Bravo Clubhouse’, so if you ever wondered how the ratings for Season 3 of Real Housewives of New York (AKA SCARY ISLAND) compared with Season 1 of the Real Housewives of New Jersey (AKA PROSTITUTION WHORE!), then this is the place to visit.
