NETWORK UPDATE:  Both DANCING WITH THE STARS and the CASTLE season finale were up 0.1 in final numbers.  The same was true for FRIENDS WITH BETTER LIVES and BONES.  But 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY and THE BLACKLIST stayed put (so BLACKLIST was actually down for its season finale), and both the STAR-CROSSED series finale […]

Monday preliminary broadcast ratings:

  NETWORK UPDATE:  The ONCE UPON A TIME season finale gained 0.1 in final numbers (as did AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS), but the REVENGE finale dropped 0.1.  On FOX, AMERICAN DAD was up 0.1 but COSMOS lost 0.1. SATURDAY CABLE:  ORPHAN BLACK (BBCA) stayed at 0.2, and the season premiere of IN THE FLESH that […]

  NETWORK UPDATE:  HANNIBAL provided a reminder of how low its license fee must be by falling even further in final numbers to 0.7.  Both the original and rerun episodes of WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY fell 0.1, while 20/20 gained 0.1 from the early numbers. FRIDAY CABLE:  Once again, all that really registered was […]

  NETWORK UPDATE:  THE BIG BANG THEORY only gained back 0.1 of the giant 0.8 it had tumbled this morning, while THE MILLERS lost the corresponding 0.1.  All of ABC’s shows went up, GREY’S ANATOMY by 0.2 and BLACK BOX (and the 8PM GREY’S rerun) by 0.1.  THURSDAY CABLE:  As expected, the NFL DRAFT dominated […]

  NETWORK UPDATE:  The changes were all minor in the afternoon’s adjustments, although in some cases enough to get shows (barely) off their series/season lows.  On ABC, THE MIDDLE, SUBURGATORY and MODERN FAMILY were all up 0.1 (but not MIXOLOGY or NASHVILLE).  AMERICAN IDOL, ARROW, and SVU also went up 0.1. WEDNESDAY CABLE:  TNT’s NBA […]

  NETWORK UPDATE:  AGENTS OF SHIELD narrowly averted this morning’s series low with an 0.1 adjustment upward, but while THE VOICE was also up 0.1, that just put it at a slightly higher series low.  The rest of the morning’s awful numbers remained as-is. TUESDAY CABLE:  TNT led again with NBA PLAYOFF games at 2.0/1.8, […]

  NETWORK UPDATE:  All the moves were of 0.1, with the LEGO SIMPSONS, ONCE UPON A TIME, RESURRECTION and DATELINE on the positive end and THE GOOD WIFE on the negative. SATURDAY CABLE:  ORPHAN BLACK (BBCA) dropped 0.1 to 0.2, and DAVINCI’S DEMONS (Starz) had an 0.1 in its 1/3 of US homes. SUNDAY:  It’s […]
