> The broadcast networks continue their holiday vacation, with virtually no new programming on the air. CBS:  The KENNEDY CENTER HONORS are a prestige show that no one watches, and more so this year:  a dismal 1.1 that was down considerably even from last year’s 1.5–and that’s with a 2.1 NCIS rerun lead-in that was […]

  BROADCAST FINALS:  On another heavy COLLEGE FOOTBALL day, ABC’s primetime game was at 0.74, NBC’s was at 0.42, and FOX’s was at 0.78, although CBS had the prize with its afternoon game at 2.88.  NBC’s SNL was down 0.07 to 0.66.  CW’s QUEEN ELIZABETH:  THE WOMAN BEHIND THE CROWN special was at 0.06.   […]

> NBC comes face-to-face with its post-football Sunday. NBC:  No doubt the network thought that whatever the quality of its new series version of John Grisham’s THE FIRM (and that quality is quite bad), name value alone would bring it an audience.  Well, not so much:  its disastrous 1.4 put it in last place for […]

CBS:  YOUNG […]

FOX:  The 2-hour launch of ALCATRAZ went very well, with a solid 3.3 that held throughout the broadcast.  That put the network squarely in 2d place for the night behind CBS’s blockbuster line-up.  If the show can manage not to collapse the way Terra Nova did, […]

> It turns out there are some numbers so low that even NBC can’t endure them.  After an inconceivably bad 0.8 rating for THE FIRM last night–lower than most network shows score in reruns, and only 0.1 ahead of The Secret Circle on CW–NBC finally pulled the trigger and will push the show to the […]
