7 Welcome to SHOWBUZZDAILY’s live coverage of the 2013 Emmy Awards!  Will this be the year Netflix storms the barricades with House of Cards?  Will the Academy decide it can love a sit-com as much as it does Modern Family?  Stay tuned… (All Times PDT) 5:02PM:  CBS came awfully close, but the Jets game ended […]

  It was a bad night on the networks to be anything but sports.  Note:  the football and baseball numbers below are adjusted to estimate where the final numbers will be after western time zones are taken into account tomorrow. ABC:  ONCE UPON A TIME proved once and for all that Disney doesn’t interfere with […]

  Lifetime’s cancellation of THE CLIENT LIST after two seasons is unusual enough to be worthy of some note. Here’s the thing:  Client List was still, despite some ratings dip in Season 2, a clear success for Lifetime, running at about 2M viewers and 0.7 in 18-49s.  Bidding it adieu was hardly an obvious move, […]

NBC:  In time zone-adjusted numbers, the GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS scored a 6.5, up 0.1 from last year’s edition.  It was preceded by 2.8 for the ARRIVALS SPECIAL. CBS:  The Globes were big, but they couldn’t touch the overrun from the day’s Denver/San Diego NFL PLAYOFFS.  […]
