AFTERNOON UPDATE:  BAD TEACHER is already on life support, down another 0.1 in adjusted numbers to 1.4.  As often happens, THE BIG BANG THEORY gained 0.1 at the expense of THE MILLERS.  THE VAMPIRE DIARIES avoided tying its low with an extra 0.1.  All else was as-is–including the series low for AMERICAN IDOL–except that […]

  AFTERNOON UPDATE:  A trio of the morning’s lows were narrowly dodged when SURVIVOR, AMERICAN IDOL and SUBURGATORY were adjusted up 0.1.  But the adjustments giveth and taketh away:  REVOLUTION and CSI both lost 0.1. WEDNESDAY CABLE:  TNT’s NBA PLAYOFF games were again on top at 2.0/1.3, while an NHL PLAYOFFS Game 7 on NBC […]

Wednesday preliminary broadcast ratings:

  AFTERNOON UPDATE:  The adjustments were mixed for the networks.  AGENTS OF SHIELD found a nice bump, up 0.2 to 2.1, and THE GOLDBERGS and TROPHY WIFE each went up 0.1.  Afternoon 0.1 hikes kept GLEE and NEW GIRL from their morning series lows.  But THE VOICE stayed at what is now its official series […]

  There was little change from last week in the new weekly averages (based on 5 days of final Same Day ratings and 2 days of overnights), as again no network averaged over 1.5 in 18-49s over the course of the week.  ABC held even at 1.49, CBS was up 0.3 to 1.43, FOX had […]

  Craig Ferguson is maintaining that his decision to leave CBS and THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH CRAIG FERGUSON in December is absolutely, entirely, utterly, completely, totally unrelated to the network’s recent decision to hand David Letterman’s slot to Stephen Colbert when Letterman steps down next year.  No, truly, he never had any interest in […]

  NETWORK UPDATE:  BELIEVE lost 0.2 in final Sunday numbers, so instead of being up 0.1 from last week, it was actually down to a new low 1.0.  The other adjustments were of 0.1, with THE SIMPSONS, ONCE UPON A TIME and REVENGE (but not RESURRECTION) all up, and 60 MINUTES, AMERICAN DREAM BUILDERS and […]

  AFTERNOON UPDATE:  I don’t follow DANCING WITH THE STARS, so can’t opine on what they did right last night.  But the show’s 0.2 bump in final numbers (after adjustment for ABC’s Portland preemption) put the show up 0.4 from last week, with 2.6 rating that was just 0.4 below THE VOICE.  CASTLE also benefited […]
