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.  […]
