>A relatively quiet night of network television last night with a lot of repeats in anticipation of a World Game 6 that wasn’t played.  ABC had the most original programming (everything but Modern Family) and won the night with a 3.3 Adult 18-49 rating.  The Middle started the night solidly with a 3.1 rating for […]

  AFTERNOON UPDATE:  TROPHY WIFE became even more disastrous in final numbers, falling to a 1.1, which makes it one of the lowest-rated in-season, non-Friday series ever to get a back order.  It’s hard to imagine ABC keeping it where it is for the remainder of the season.  The only other afternoon change was a […]
