A troublesomely low night for NBC. NBC:  AMERICA’S GOT TALENT took a sizable 0.4 hit last night, down to a season low 2.1.  That wasn’t good for CAMP, which tied its 1.0 low.  As to Camp, although one might think the show would skew much younger than reruns of SVU–and it does–its 18-49 rating […]

  At this late point in the network summer, it wouldn’t make sense to expect much change from the norm. ABC:  The move of MISTRESSES to 9PM had only mild effect, as the show climbed 0.1 to 1.0.  That was below the 1.1 for the rerun SHARK TANK that preceded it. NBC:  With less competition […]

Monday ratings last night, last year and last week.

        NETWORK FINALS:  There were no changes from the preliminary Monday ratings.         Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart     CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  TNT’s NBA PLAYOFFS games topped Monday cable at 1.39/1.05.  Bravo’s BELOW DECK dipped 0.05 to 0.56.  USA’s WWE telecast was at 0.50/0.48/0.45, compared to last week’s […]

  The 1.8 rating WE ARE MEN had this week was higher than any of NBC’s sitcoms last Thursday.  But it was down a huge 1.2 from its HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER lead-in, and that just wasn’t acceptable.  Today CBS bit the bullet and canceled Men after 2 episodes, and as expected, MIKE & […]

  The World Series had surprisingly little meaningful effect on the other networks. FOX:  WORLD SERIES GAME 5 had a preliminary 3.8, which probably won’t go much beyond a 4 in final numbers.  There hasn’t been a 5th World Series game in a couple of years, but this looks to be around even with the […]

  AMC:  THE WALKING DEAD, of course, chomped on everything but Sunday Night Football, with a 6.0 in 18-49s rating that was down 0.2 from last week.  (The 11PM re-airing added another 1.0.)  TALKING DEAD remained steady at 2.2. SHOWTIME:  HOMELAND is perplexing many of its fans this season, but its ratings remained even with […]

  AFTERNOON UPDATE:  AGENTS OF SHIELD salvaged a shred of is dignity by rising 0.1 in final Tuesday numbers, although the resulting 2.1 is still a new low for the show.  SHIELD ran until 9:01PM, and after that THE GOLDBERGS dropped a corresponding 0.1 to 1.6.  In addition, NCIS gained 0.1 for 2.9. TUESDAY CABLE:  […]
