CW has clarified that the May 13 episode of its rebooted 90210 will be its series finale, not just the end of its 5th season.  Although CW likes to give its veteran shows a farewell lap on the way out (as Gossip Girl had earlier this season), 90210 earned its abrupt exit with ratings […]

Week 37 of the broadcast season (May 28-June 3) recently concluded, the first full week of summer as defined by the broadcasters with almost all scripted shows in repeats and summer reality shows dominating the airwaves.  The results were not pretty.  NBC won the week with a 1.48 rating with Adults 18-49 (thanks to America’s […]

  SUNDAY UPDATE:  In final FINAL numbers, THE ACADEMY AWARDS gained an extra 0.2 to 13.1, which although tiny as a percentage of total rating, was gratifying to the Academy and ABC, because it pushed the telecast 0.1 above last year’s Seth MacFarlane-hosted show in 18-49s (it was already comfortably up in older-skewing total viewers).  […]

>FOX ratings last night were nearly identical to two Thursdays ago (the last time The X Factor and Bones were in originals).  Both shows last represent major time period improvements over the same night last year: The X Factor (3.1) vs Bones (2.3) last year at 8 pm, and Bones (2.9) vs Fringe (1.8) last […]

CBS:  On a mostly quiet network night, UNDERCOVER BOSS zoomed by half a ratings point to 1.8–not quite the biggest show of the evening, but close.  The rest of the line-up didn’t fare as well, as both HAWAII 5-0 and BLUE BLOODS slipped […]
