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 […]

Wednesday ratings last night and last week, with a comparision to Thursday the same week last year (because the similar Wednesday last year had the NFL kick-off game, which was displaced by coverage of President Obama’s acceptance speech for his second Democratic nomination).  Tomorrow we will compared tonight’s NFL premiere game with the unusual Wednesday […]

  So much for superpowers. ABC:  AGENTS OF SHIELD took one of the ugliest Week 2 dives in recent memory, plummeting a horrific 1.6 from last week’s premiere to a very mortal 3.1 rating.  That pulled the rug out from under the rest of the network’s night, as THE GOLDBERGS dropped 0.9 to 2.2, TROPHY […]

  Very little change from last week. DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary key advertiser demographics (adult 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 ratings), audience skews (women 18-49, men 18-49 and adults 50+ shares) and total viewership (thousands of people over the age of 2). Ratings analysis and comparisons follow […]

  AFTERNOON UPDATE:  Not a lot of change in the adjusted numbers.  THE GOLDBERGS AND CHICAGO FIRE both held onto their ratings, despite starting 1 minute after the hour, while AGENTS OF SHIELD gained 0.1 (but was still down 0.1 from last week).  Also gaining 0.1 were THE VOICE and SUPERNATURAL.  Both NCIS LA and […]

  AFTERNOON UPDATE:  With the NFL game calculated out, both NBC and FOX suffered across-the-board declines that neither network–but especially NBC–couldn’t afford.  So there were new series lows for PARKS & RECREATION (1.1 in both half-hours), SEAN SAVES THE WORLD and THE MICHAEL J. FOX SHOW (both at pathetic 0.9s), while PARENTHOOD slipped to 1.2.  […]

  A&E/LIFETIME/HISTORY:  Part 1 of BONNIE & CLYDE performed moderately well, aggregating a 2.8 rating in 18-49s with 1.0 each on A&E and History and 0.8 on Lifetime.  It’s a fairly big number when you add it all up, but network-by-network it was below Vikings at History, below Devious Maids at Lifetime, and below Bates […]
