THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 1/17/13

Posted January 18, 2013 by Mitch Salem

CBS does FOX a favor. FOX:  With CBS in reruns last night, AMERICAN IDOL didn’t have to face fresh episodes of Big Bang Theory or 2 1/2 Men.  That allowed Idol to tie last year’s 5.6 Thursday premiere (which had to contend with a new Big Bang), although it doesn’t bode well for next week, […]

THE SKED: CW Kicks Off Renewal Season

Posted February 11, 2013 by Mitch Salem

  It’s always an advantage for shows to know they’re being renewed as quickly as possible.  With that security in hand, they can shore up their writing staffs before newly-ordered series begin making their picks, start preparation for next season’s production, and in the case of increasingly plot-heavy serialized dramas, begin planning out the story […]

THE SKED’S SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 3/3/13

Posted March 4, 2013 by Mitch Salem

More grim news for ABC and NBC. ABC:  After ONCE UPON A TIME set the tone with a series-low 2.1, down 0.3 from its last airing, RED WIDOW had a disastrous 2-hour debut at 1.4.  That ended ABC’s chance to launch any successful dramas this season (it still has one comedy on deck), and made […]

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 4/11/13

Posted April 12, 2013 by Mitch Salem

  With the other 3 networks in reruns, FOX and NBC prospered. FOX:  An “event” GLEE that dealt (albeit in a superficial, gimmicky way) with the issue of school shootings gave the show a 2.4, an increase of 0.4 from its last episode and the show’s best rating in over a month.  Prior to that, […]
