AMC:  With one week to go until its fall finale, THE WALKING DEAD was of course at the top of the night, with a combined 7.0 (up 0.3 from last week) for its two primetime airings.  As has become traditional, this was only behind the week’s network football games (Sunday and Thanksgiving night) as […]

  FOX:  Any hope that ENLISTED could find itself some helpful word-of-mouth faded as its 2d episode fell 0.1 from the premiere to 0.6.  It was again 0.1 below RAISING HOPE, itself down 0.1 to 0.7.  Neither could complain about its 8PM lead-in, since BONES was relatively robust at a steady 1.5. NBC:  DATELINE was even […]
