FRIDAY STARZ:  The network continues to have a hard time getting any traction for its original scripted shows, as MAGIC CITY returned for its second season with a miniscule 500K viewers, of whom only 30% were under 50 (an 0.1 rating). SYFY:  CONTINUUM held just about even, with 1.3M viewers and an 0.4 rating […]

  Under the Dome is still the place to be on Mondays. CBS:  UNDER THE DOME slipped again, down 0.2 from last week, but it remains one of the biggest hits of the summer with a 2.7 rating.  That more than doubled the line-up’s highest rated rerun, a 1.3 for 2 BROKE GIRLS. ABC:  A […]

  AFTERNOON UPDATE:  WORLD SERIES GAME 2 ended up at an adjusted 3.6, just where we expected and slightly above last year’s Game 2.  There weren’t a lot of additional adjustments, but a couple of them were significant.  THE BIG BANG THEORY bounced back 0.3 to 5.2, but THE MILLERS actually went down 0.1 to […]
