FOX: The season premiere episodes of KITCHEN NIGHTMARES ran at 1.2/1.1, far better in the 9PM hour than sitcoms have done for FOX all season. They were also up from last season’s 0.9 premiere. ABC: The night started with 1.1 for LAST MAN STANDING, down 0.3 from last week. That didn’t help the season […]
UPDATE: Lots of adjustments, but none of them over 0.1, with AMERICAN IDOL, THE BIG BANG THEORY, GREY’S ANATOMY, SHARK TANK and COMMUNITY up (narrowly avoiding series lows in some cases), and THE MILLERS and ELEMENTARY down. THURSDAY CABLE: VIKINGS and PAWN STARS led the way for History once again, at 1.0 and 0.8/1.0 […]

UPDATE: ONCE UPON A TIME gained 0.2 in final numbers, increasing its lead over RESURRECTION even though the latter inched up 0.1 (still down 0.2 from the previous week). Also up 0.1: AMERICAN HOME BUILDERS and AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS. SUNDAY CABLE: HBO gave GAME OF THRONES a 2-year renewal today (bringing it through […]
AFTERNOON UPDATE: The NCAA FINALS adjusted up to 7.2 in final numbers, but that was still significantly down from last year’s 8.4. What time zone adjustment giveth it also taketh away, and that BIG BANG THEORY rerun at 8PM looked a lot less impressive when reduced to 2.0, while the game’s PRE-GAME SHOW fell […]
