UPDATED: THE SKED CABLE/NETWORK SCORECARD – 4/3/14
Posted April 4, 2014 by Mitch Salem
AFTERNOON UPDATE: Things actually got worse for AMERICAN IDOL in the adjusted numbers, falling 0.1 to 1.7, not just yet another new all-time low, but ignominiously keeping it in a tie with THE CRAZY ONES (which also fell 0.1), a show CBS may not even renew. THE MILLERS and ELEMENTARY also lost 0.1 each. […]

Posted April 3, 2014 by Mitch Salem
In about a year, the reboot of the network late-night talk shows will be complete, now that David Letterman, cranky genius of the format, has announced that sometime in 2015 he’ll be retiring.

Posted April 3, 2014 by Mitch Salem
AFTERNOON UPDATE: There were the usual 0.1 bumps (for THE MIDDLE, SUBURGATORY and MODERN FAMILY on ABC, and for SURVIVOR and CRIMINAL MINDS on CBS), and dips (CSI). but the more interesting point is what didn’t go up.

NETWORK UPDATE: A very strong night for CBS. The NCAA TOURNAMENT overrun adjusted up by 0.1 to 4.8, and then 60 MINUTES went up 0.3 to 2.8. THE GOOD WIFE was up 0.1 to 1.8, and since THE AMAZING RACE stayed even in the previous hour, the GOOD WIFE bump can’t be attributed to the […]
