Halloween always depresses television usage levels of 2-34 year-olds, but last night it looks like 35-49 year-olds also took the night off from watching TV in greater than normal numbers.  Just an awful night for network TV, with season lows reached on various shows.  FOX won the night with only a 2.7 adult 18-49 rating, […]

  NETWORK UPDATE:  AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR and the 2 BROKE GIRLS rerun gained 0.1 in final numbers, while the BACHELOR IN PARADISE POST-SHOW and SIGNIFICANT MOTHER both fell 0.1.  CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  LOVE & HIP-HOP was in its accustomed place at the top of Monday cable ratings, down 0.05 to 1.41, but with a new lead-out this […]

        NETWORK FINALS:  The only significant adjustment (i.e., changing its initial rating by at least one-tenth) was downward for the rerun of THE GOLDBERGS.         Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart     CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  ESPN’s coverage of the COTTON BOWL dominated Wednesday cable at 1.45, with the network’s […]

  This morning, preliminary ratings had NBC’s REVOLUTION tying its series-low 2.2 rating.  But that turned out to be the good news.  When final numbers were released this afternoon, Revolution fell an unusually heavy 0.2 to a new low 2.0.  That put it behind ABC’s CASTLE for the night–and this was a Monday with a […]

> Although nothing is likely to be official until May, the odds are that PAN AM is heading into its final landing.  The series received a short back order from ABC, and will be off the air after February, when Good Christian Bitches (or whatever they’re calling it this week) will take its Sunday 10PM […]
