NETWORK UPDATE:  NBC didn’t get the bump from adjusted ratings that it had hoped for, as Game 1 of the NHL STANLEY CUP FINALS rose only to 1.9 in final numbers, leaving it 0.6 below last year’s Game 1.  Elsewhere, most of the ABC line-up gained 0.1, including MOTIVE, and although THE 100 stayed […]

  NETWORK UPDATE:  EXTREME WEIGHT LOSS and CELEBRITY WIFE SWAP on ABC, and AMERICA’S GOT TALENT on NBC (but not THE NIGHT SHIFT) gained 0.1 in final Tuesday numbers.  FAMOUS IN 12 got uglier, falling 0.1 to 0.2. TUESDAY CABLE:  THE DEADLIEST CATCH (Discovery) climbed 0.1 to 1.2.  THE HAVES AND HAVE NOTS (OWN) declined […]

  NETWORK UPDATE:  THE BACHELORETTE gained 0.1 from preliminary numbers.

  NETWORK UPDATE:  In adjusted ratings, BEAUTY & THE BEAST declined by 0.1 from this morning’s numbers, while MASTERCHEF and THE BACHELORETTE gained 0.1.  (No change for MISTRESSES or 24.)

  NETWORK UPDATE:  CROSSBONES couldn’t hold its preliminary number, and slipped 0.1 to a 1.0 premiere.  WHAT WOULD YOU DO went up 0.1 to 1.2, and the SHARK TANK rerun was likewise up to 1.1. FRIDAY CABLE:  There was nothing going on but sports and comedy reruns.  ESPN’s NBA PLAYOFFS game dominated at 2.7, with […]

  NETWORK UPDATE:  Both GANG-RELATED and BLACK BOX went up 0.1 in final numbers, which is a bit heartening for GANG in particular, since it means the show went up–however slightly–from its premiere.  Also up 0.1:  the BACHELORETTE rerun. THURSDAY CABLE:  Soon ABC will be airing the Finals, but for now the NBA PLAYOFFS are […]

  NETWORK UPDATE:  The only changes were in reruns:  NCIS rose 0.1 and both CW shows lost 0.1.

  NETWORK UPDATE:  The only changes involved reruns:  0.1 increases for ARROW, MODERN FAMILY and THE GOLDBERGS at 9:30PM.  We didn’t mention it this morning, but it’s also worth noting that ABC’s MOTIVE, its only original show of the night, was also its lowest-rated. WEDNESDAY CABLE:  ESPN’s coverage of the Miami/Indiana NBA PLAYOFFS game easily […]
