MONDAY UPDATE: The most significant change from the overnights was the 0.1 decline for HART OF DIXIE, which doesn’t sound like much, but reduced the show to a tiny 0.2 rating, which one would think even on CW would mean certain cancellation. The KITCHEN NIGHTMARES rerun was up 0.1 on FOX, but the RAISING […]
AFTERNOON UPDATE: Things actually got worse for AMERICAN IDOL in the adjusted numbers, falling 0.1 to 1.7, not just yet another new all-time low, but ignominiously keeping it in a tie with THE CRAZY ONES (which also fell 0.1), a show CBS may not even renew. THE MILLERS and ELEMENTARY also lost 0.1 each. […]
AFTERNOON UPDATE: There were the usual 0.1 bumps (for THE MIDDLE, SUBURGATORY and MODERN FAMILY on ABC, and for SURVIVOR and CRIMINAL MINDS on CBS), and dips (CSI). but the more interesting point is what didn’t go up. There was no afternoon joy for AMERICAN IDOL, setting things up for a potential record-breaking low […]
Wednesday preliminary broadcast ratings:
AFTERNOON UPDATE: There was a little solace for the networks in some of the adjusted numbers. NBC, CBS and ABC all went up at 8PM, and while NCIS and THE VOICE had 0.1 hikes, AGENTS OF SHIELD climbed 0.2–although that still left it down 0.1 from its previous episode. (THE ORIGINALS rerun dropped 0.1.) […]
Tuesday preliminary broadcast ratings:
NETWORK UPDATE: A very strong night for CBS. The NCAA TOURNAMENT overrun adjusted up by 0.1 to 4.8, and then 60 MINUTES went up 0.3 to 2.8. THE GOOD WIFE was up 0.1 to 1.8, and since THE AMAZING RACE stayed even in the previous hour, the GOOD WIFE bump can’t be attributed to the […]
AFTERNOON UPDATE: The HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER finale climbed an extra 0.1 in final numbers and the FRIENDS WITH BETTER LIVES lost 0.1, but the ugly numbers for the latter were in the quarter hours, where MOTHER had a 6.0 from 8:45PM-9PM, and then fell more than half to 2.8 when BETTER LIVES […]
