NETWORK UPDATE: Despite all of last night’s football preemptions, only ABC was affected in the final numbers, as THE QUEST lost 0.2 and ROOKIE BLUE lost 0.1 (putting its season finale at the same 1.0 as last year’s). In addition, both BONES reruns on FOX dropped 0.1. Below are last night’s Top 25 cable […]
Last night’s exhibition football preemptions will keep several networks’ numbers somewhat unclear until this afternoon. ABC: The 2-hour ROOKIE BLUE season finale is currently at 1.1, up 0.2 from last week (and up 0.1 from last season’s finale), but the network was preempted in Philadelphia, so it’s unclear whether that will hold up. Similarly, […]
NETWORK UPDATE: As expected, AMERICA’S GOT TALENT went up 0.1 in final numbers and TAXI BROOKLYN reduced correspondingly. In addition, PENN & TELLER: FOOL US lost 0.1. Below are ratings in key demographics for last night’s Top 25 cable originals (which actually reach #125 on the overall list of cable airings last night), along […]

This was particularly ugly since the night started with BIG BROTHER climbing 0.2 to 2.3. NBC: […]
NETWORK UPDATE: As expected, FOOD FIGHTERS and AMERICA’S GOT TALENT exchanged 0.1s in final network numbers. EXTREME WEIGHT LOSS and 20/20 each gained 0.1. In addition, the FAMILY GUY rerun rose 0.1 and the SUPERNATURAL rerun dropped by the same. Below are the ratings in several demographic categories for the Top 25 original cable telecasts […]
America’s Got Talent dominated another slow summer Tuesday. NBC: FOOD FIGHTERS is currently up 0.1 to 1.1, and AMERICA’S GOT TALENT is down 0.2 to 1.9, but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see a shuffling between them when final numbers are released this afternoon. In any case, Talent was by far the highest-rated […]
