SHOWBUZZDAILY WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 5.20.2015

Posted May 21, 2015 by Mitch Metcalf

  Say goodbye to the 2014-15 broadcast network TV season.  And also, of course, to LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN, which outrated everything in primetime last night with a 2.8 18-49 score (making mincemeat of THE TONIGHT SHOW’s 0.8; Jimmy Kimmel, out of respect, aired a rerun), and a 9.3 in households, the show’s highest […]

THE SKED: Olympics Don’t Stop “Walking Dead” or “Downton Abbey”

Posted February 24, 2014 by Mitch Salem

  Two pieces of diametrically opposed counterprogramming did just fine against last night’s WINTER OLYMPICS Closing Ceremony. THE WALKING DEAD easily beat the Olympics in 18-49s for the 3rd week in a row with a 6.6 rating, down 0.2 from last week.  It also had 13.1M total viewers (down 200K from last week).  That doubled […]

Posted October 26, 2012 by Mitch Salem

Several TV institutions tottered last night. ABC:  It’s going to be awfully hard to justify a back order for LAST RESORT, which plunged 0.4 to a terrible 1.3.  Perhaps even scarier for ABC was GREY’S ANATOMY.  The show has been steadily sinking since its season premiere (last night’s episode was the first of the fall […]

UPDATED: THE SKED CABLE/NETWORK SCORECARD – 3/3/14

Posted March 4, 2014 by Mitch Salem

  AFTERNOON UPDATE:  Little change, as THE FOLLOWING lost 0.1 to tie last week’s series low, and THE BACHELOR found 0.1 (getting it slightly above a tied season low). MONDAY CABLE:  Rarely do audiences signal their instant rejection of a new series as clearly as they did for THOSE WHO KILL’s debut last night on […]
