  Broadcast TV barely even had a pulse last night. FOX:  Somebody had to “win,” and that was FOX, with a line-up of animated reruns that gave the network a 1.3 average for the night. NBC:  The night’s only original non-news telecast, WOMEN’S CONCERT FOR CHANGE, had an 0.8 rating, less than half what FOX’s […]

The Saturday fast national ratings were vastly overstated because of continued local coverage of NFL preseason games in a handful of markets, and that was enough to inflate the weekly […]

  BROADCAST FINALS ABC:  THE BACHELORETTE fell 0.11 to 0.56, and QUEENS was up 0.02 to 0.30. CBS:  FBI jumped 0.14 to 0.72, FBI INTERNATIONAL gained 0.05 to 0.51, and FBI MOST WANTED was steady at 0.44.

  Friday wasn’t a friendly neighborhood for ABC’s new arrival. ABC:  THE NEIGHBORS arrived on Fridays with a 1.2 thud, down from all its Wednesday numbers and also down 0.3 from its LAST MAN STANDING lead-in.  Not that Last Man had anything to feel good about, since its 1.5 was down half a ratings point […]
