Note that ABC & CBS preliminary ratings are particularly subject to afternoon adjustment because of local MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL preemptions. DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary live+same day key advertiser demographics (adult 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 ratings), audience skews (women 18-49, men 18-49 and adults 50+ shares) […]

  Once upon a time, there was a single-camera sitcom pilot at NBC called UP ALL NIGHT.  It was the story of Reagan and Chris Brinkley (Christina Applegate and Will Arnett), who had to cope with becoming new parents and the resulting loss of their “coolness” factor.  Chris was a stay-at-home dad, while Reagan worked […]

ABC turned in a 1.8 rating with adults 18-49 last night, down from the 2.0 last week but still #1 for the night.  Last Man Standing and Malibu Country each posted a 1.6 rating in their second week (down four-tenths of a rating point for Last Man and down a hefty seven tenths for Malibu).  The comedies fell to second place […]

…and this is why NBC won’t be running Revolution without a Voice lead-in anytime soon. NBC:  TAKE IT ALL, airing for the first time without the comfort of that Voice audience, collapsed by more than a ratings point in a single night, down 50% to a terrible 1.1–just a tenth of a point above its […]

A good night for some grizzled vets. CBS:  After UNDERCOVER BOSS started the night with a 1.8 to win 8PM, CSI NY and BLUE BLOODS both hit season high 1.6s (the latter also winning its hour).  The whole line-up was up 0.2-0.3 from last week. ABC:  Everything here was up as well, with LAST MAN […]
