Monday preliminary broadcast ratings. In addition to the traditional adult 18-49 ratings grids below (for last night, the same night last year and same night a week ag0), today we are introducing a new chart with even more ratings detail for each program last night, including other important demographic segments and total viewers. NEW SECTION […]

Sunday preliminary broadcast ratings:

  NBC:  The network’s numbers were up, but still nothing to boast about.  (And are shaky to boot, thanks to a baseball preemption in San Francisco.)  DATELINE climbed 0.2 to 1.2, and CROSSBONES is currently up 0.2 to a still-dreadful 0.6. ABC:  ABC was the only network to air non-fireworks original programming on July 4th, […]

  NETWORK UPDATE:  There was no change for the NBC sitcoms.  BIG BROTHER, however, climbed 0.1 to an even higher 2.1.  GANG RELATED slipped 0.1 to 0.7, and the CW reruns were both down 0.1. THURSDAY CABLE:  The cable night was all about Pawn and History Channel, as the 2 half-hours of PAWN STARS were […]

  NETWORK UPDATE:  EXTANT slipped another 0.1 in final numbers to 1.6–a decidedly non-“event” result.  On ABC, MOTIVE gained 0.1 (as did the night’s MODERN FAMILY rerun), but TAXI BROOKLYN lost 0.1 for NBC.  WEDNESDAY CABLE:  THE BRIDGE returned with an 0.5 rating, just about where the show had settled after its initial burst last […]

  NETWORK UPDATE:  EXTREME WEIGHT LOSS gained 0.1 of poundage in final numbers.  However, both the CW reruns dropped by 0.1. TUESDAY CABLE:  Germany’s demolition of Brazil in the World Cup semifinals (ESPN) was the day’s easy winner at 1.9, as detailed in today’s WORLD CUP SKEDBALL post.  FINDING CARTER (MTV) debuted fairly well with […]

  NETWORK UPDATE:  The FOX numbers shifted, as MASTERCHEF climbed (to a noteworthy 2.0) and 24 slipped by 0.1.  AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR was also down 0.1, as was its LAST COMIC STANDING rerun lead-in.  The 8:30PM WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY reruns gained an additional 0.1. MONDAY CABLE:  VH1 and USA had their usual places […]

  NETWORK UPDATE:  As it did last week, RECKLESS lost 0.1 in final numbers, down to a woeful 0.6.  BIG BROTHER and WIPEOUT each gained 0.1. SUNDAY CABLE:  HBO’s TRUE BLOOD led the night with 1.7, up 0.1 from last week.  Considering the offbeat nature of THE LEFTOVERS, it held fairly well in its 2d […]
