There was little change from last week in the new weekly averages (based on 5 days of final Same Day ratings and 2 days of overnights), as again no network averaged over 1.5 in 18-49s over the course of the week. ABC held even at 1.49, CBS was up 0.3 to 1.43, FOX had […]
Craig Ferguson is maintaining that his decision to leave CBS and THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH CRAIG FERGUSON in December is absolutely, entirely, utterly, completely, totally unrelated to the network’s recent decision to hand David Letterman’s slot to Stephen Colbert when Letterman steps down next year. No, truly, he never had any interest in […]
NETWORK UPDATE: BELIEVE lost 0.2 in final Sunday numbers, so instead of being up 0.1 from last week, it was actually down to a new low 1.0. The other adjustments were of 0.1, with THE SIMPSONS, ONCE UPON A TIME and REVENGE (but not RESURRECTION) all up, and 60 MINUTES, AMERICAN DREAM BUILDERS and […]
AFTERNOON UPDATE: I don’t follow DANCING WITH THE STARS, so can’t opine on what they did right last night.

UPDATE: The season finale of LAST MAN STANDING found a 0.1 bump in adjusted Friday ratings (to a very decent 1.4), as did SHARK TANK, HAWAII 5-0 and BLUE BLOODS. But the news was bad at NBC (which had been preempted in Portland for an NBA game), where DATELINE, GRIMM and HANNIBAL all sank […]

THURSDAY CABLE: TNT dominated again with the NBA PLAYOFFS, with a pair of 1.8 games. (The night’s 3rd game, though, […]
BAD TEACHER: Thursday 9:30PM on CBS – Change the Channel There’s rarely much point in transforming an R-rated movie comedy into a broadcast network TV series, especially if the appeal of the movie came largely from its shock value. (And especially if the network is CBS.) Bad Teacher was hardly a masterpiece of cinema, […]
