People really don’t care for the America’s Got Talent results show.  Discuss amongst yourselves. NBC:  AMERICA’S GOT TALENT plunged 0.6 from last week to 2.3.  However, that was roughly even with the results show on the parallel night last year at 2.2.  AGT still tied for the night’s lead, although that wasn’t enough to […]

  A troublesomely low night for NBC. NBC:  AMERICA’S GOT TALENT took a sizable 0.4 hit last night, down to a season low 2.1.  That wasn’t good for CAMP, which tied its 1.0 low.  As to Camp, although one might think the show would skew much younger than reruns of SVU–and it does–its 18-49 rating […]

Thursday ratings for last night, last week and last year (using Wednesday from the same week last year as the relevant comparison, the night to which the NFL premiere game was relocated by the Democratic National Convention).  The NFL is off to a rousing start.  In the fast nationals, the game averaged a 10.0 rating, but that […]

  Another false positive? ABC:  SUPER FUN NIGHT started strong last night, holding onto 75% of its MODERN FAMILY lead-in for a 3.2 rating.  However, that’s the same number The Neighbors did in its debut last year–and now it’s fighting for its life on Fridays.  THE MIDDLE dropped 0.3 from last week to 2.2, and BACK […]

  AFTERNOON UPDATE:  WORLD SERIES GAME 1 ended up adjusted to 4.2, a bit below where we anticipated but still 0.6 above last year’s Game 1.  Nothing else moved more than 0.1 from the morning numbers, but it’s noteworthy that THE TOMORROW PEOPLE edged up to 0.7, a more solid CW number, and since MODERN […]

  FOX:  The debut of FOX’s regular Friday night line-up didn’t go very well.  The costs of a Friday move were high for BONES, which plunged 0.8 from this past Monday to a new low 1.2, also down 0.3 from last week’s MasterChef Jr in that slot.  It was only able to edge past NBC […]
