Back when Nielsen started measuring TiVo viewing (way back in '06), the most-recorded shows were dominated by high-end, affluent fare like NBC's "The Office." Back then, DVR penetration was in the single-digits, so that made sense. But now that nearly 20% of households have them, being a DVR-owner means you're part of the mainstream. As Nielsen stats from March show, the top shows in Tivoland are pretty much the same as the top shows on TV.
But the TiVo nation is still able to show its quirks. The CW's nerd fantasy "Beauty and the Geek" gets nearly a third (29.6%) of its viewing on DVRs. Fans better be sure and save those episodes permanently: with only 1.9 million viewers during the last week in March, "Geek" is probably not long for the tube.
