REVOLUTION continues to slip. NBC:  There are 2 more airings of REVOLUTION before it goes off the air until late March, and these are its ratings over its past 4 airings:  3.3, 3.0, 2.8 and last night’s 2.6.  Now, 2.6 is still a very strong number for a 10PM show, and Revolution still dominates its […]

  A slow pre-holiday night may well have made AQUARIUS the lowest-rated series ever renewed by a major broadcast network.

A bad night for debuts. FOX:  No one showed up for the return of TOUCH, which started with a weak 1.1 in its first hour and fell to an even worse 0.9 in its second.  Unless things turn around quickly (unlikely, with Grimm on the way as competition), its mysteries may never be solved.

> Maybe everyone went to see The Hunger Games last night. FOX:  With lower than usual competition on all the other networks, TOUCH debuted with its first regular episode to a 3.3 that wasn’t as good as it looked.  This was probably the last time the show won’t face new episodes from any of The […]

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 […]
