FRIDAY STARZ:  DA VINCI’S DEMONS stayed at an 0.2 rating in the 18-49 demo, and had a very slight increase among older viewers to give it 420K.  With such a serialized storyline, it seems unlikely to move much higher for the remainder of the season. SATURDAY BBCAMERICA:  It’s a shame that ORPHAN BLACK is […]

  The 1.8 rating WE ARE MEN had this week was higher than any of NBC’s sitcoms last Thursday.  But it was down a huge 1.2 from its HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER lead-in, and that just wasn’t acceptable.  Today CBS bit the bullet and canceled Men after 2 episodes, and as expected, MIKE & […]
