THE SKED NETWORK SCORECARD – 9.16.2014

 

At this point, FOX will take what it can get.

Daily Comp 3way 2014 TUE Sep 16

FOX:  No one expected the season premieres of NEW GIRL or THE MINDY PROJECT to come close to last fall’s 2.9/1.9 premieres, but at 1.6/1.3, but at least New Girl was above last May’s 1.2 finale, and Mindy was above last spring’s 1.0 low point.  (In the demo chart below, it’s worth noting that New Girl remains considerably younger-skewing than Mindy, with a 1.6 rating in 18-34s compared to 1.1.) Similarly, UTOPIA still looks woeful at 1.0, but that’s up 0.1 from last Tuesday and up 0.3 from Friday’s installment, which should keep it on the air for the immediate future.

NBC:  AMERICA’S GOT TALENT, nearing its finale, jumped up 0.6 to 2.5.

CBS:  BIG BROTHER was steady at 2.3, far above the reruns that followed it.

ABC:  DANCING WITH THE STARS, at 2.1, was down 0.3 from Monday’s premiere, but its Tuesday airings are usually below its Mondays.

CW:  Reruns at 0.4/0.3.

The overture to next week’s launch of the official fall season continues tonight as FOX premieres RED BAND SOCIETY, and NBC gives THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA an out-of-timeslot launch that should benefit from a big lead-in from the AMERICA’S GOT TALENT season finale.  Meanwhile, CBS airs the season finale of EXTANT.
