THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 3/7/13

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/28/12

Post-Sweeps malaise. NBC:  Cleveland must be feeling pretty good about its preemptions last night, as the 9-11PM regular network schedule averaged under a 1.0 rating, with 0.9s for a new 1600 PENN and rerun SVU, and a 1.0 for ...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/21/13

Not the kind of history the major networks like to set. CW:  Last night may have been the first time a CW series beat not one, but two of the big networks, as THE VAMPIRE DIARIES climbed an impressive 0.3 to 1.3 and NBC and AB...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/20/13

Another night with little for the networks to cheer about. ABC:  The first 90 minutes of the night provided some good news, as THE MIDDLE rebounded a bit from last week’s low to 2.2 (up 0.3), THE NEIGHBORS was up 0.2 to ...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/14/13

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/6/13

February Sweeps stunts by NBC and CBS both fail. NBC:  The network aggressively promoted last night’s SVU because it featured Mike Tyson as a guest star, but the show dropped 0.2 to 1.5, in 4th place for its hour.  CHIC...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 1/31/13

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 1/30/13

A blah night for network TV. FOX:  AMERICAN IDOL may not be the behemoth it used to be, but it’s not going anywhere either, down just a tick to a still-powerful 5.4.  That’s higher than the combined ratings for AB...
