MASTERS OF SEX is based on the real lives of […]
An abysmal night of television Friday night for the most part, with the top-rated broadcast network (ABC) averaging a 1.1 preliminary Adult 18-49 rating.

Olympics minus 1. ABC: Possibly in the belief that its activities qualified for Olympic medals, viewers thronged to WIPEOUT, giving it a 2.2 that was up 0.5 from last week. ROOKIE BLUE was also up a bit to 1.5, winning its hour, and ABC took the night. CBS: The night fell apart at 10PM, when […]
