Read All Our Fall Pilot Reports here and Midseason Pilot Reports here. THE MILLERS: Thursday 8:30PM on CBS – If Nothing Else Is On… When Bad Shows Happen To Talented People, Chapter 2456: you wouldn’t think a network comedy would need more to succeed than Greg Garcia (My Name Is Earl, Raising Hope) as […]
The first back order of the 2013-14 TV season… is a renewal. SLEEPY HOLLOW was only intended to run half a season this year, splitting the Monday 9PM timeslot with the return of The Following, and since it’s been a big success, with three consecutive ratings at a 3 or higher in 18-49s and […]
Another false positive? ABC: SUPER FUN NIGHT started strong last night, holding onto 75% of its MODERN FAMILY lead-in for a 3.2 rating. However, that’s the same number The Neighbors did in its debut last year–and now it’s fighting for its life on Fridays. THE MIDDLE dropped 0.3 from last week to 2.2, and BACK […]

And like that, CBS’s Monday is in trouble. CBS: The final season of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER is holding up well enough, down 0.6 from last week’s season debut to 3.1. After that, it gets ugly. WE ARE MEN had a lousy 2.0 debut, which is down 0.4 from the start for last […]
For one last glorious night, Walter White truly was The One Who Knocks. AMC: Ratings for the finale of BREAKING BAD smashed through even the huge expectations. The show was watched by 10.3M people in its 9PM airing. That was almost 40% higher than last week–which was itself a series record. It was the […]
