DVR ratings: 'Fringe,' 'Grimm,' and 'House' now lead the way

We're always fascinated with just how many people actually opt to watch some of their favorite shows after the fact, and this new round of DVR ratings proves one thing -- people go out frequently on Friday nights, and some of the shows we thought were struggling are actually doing a little better than we thought.

With that, we come to the top five percentage-gainers in 18-49 viewing for the week of November 7 (which were just released on Tuesday).

  1. "Fringe" - Will a show ever double its viewership in 18-49 viewing? "Fringe" came closer than all others this week, gaining 72% after its initial airing to finish with a 1.9 rating.
  2. "Grimm" - Even though the show slipped down a 1.6 rating, NBC may have a hit here with a 2.6 after the fact (which is definitely impressive for a Friday).
  3. "House" - With a 57% gain to a 4.4 rating, Hugh Laurie's show is not struggling as much as it seems.
  4. "Law & Order: SVU" - The crime drama surged up to a 2.9 rating after gaining 52% of its audience.
  5. "Up All Night" - This comedy is a frequent visitor to this list, and once again gained 50% with DVR numbers to a 2.7 rating.
