THE SKED’S FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 5/4/12

Apparently ABC viewers are unimpressed by superheroes. ABC:  On a night when the other networks were mostly down (were viewers at the multiplex to see the near-record Avengers opening?), all of ABC’s shows were up, and t...

THE SKED: Friday Ratings – Network Scorecard – 9/23/11

> It was a sleepy first Friday for premiere week. CBS:  The network’s marketing team doesn’t have all that much to boast about this week:  2 Broke Girls had a monster opening, but that was because of its e...

THE SKED’S FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/10/12

THE SKED’S FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 10/26/12

A happy Halloween for Grimm. NBC:  The 1.5 for busted pilot MOCKINGBIRD LANE probably isn’t enough to bring the costly project back from the grave.  However, the boost it gave GRIMM–at 1.9, the highest-rated show ...

THE SKED’S FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 6/1/12

  Best Friends not forever. NBC:  The burn-off of the final episodes of BEST FRIENDS FOREVER was ugly, as they scored a CW-level 0.6.  DATELINE more than doubled that with a 1.4, winning the 9PM hour and a close 2d place...

THE SKED’S FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 12/9/11

> No news was good news for NBC last night. NBC:  The network returned from several weeks of seasonal hiatus in pretty chipper shape.  CHUCK was up slightly from its last airing, but more importantly, GRIMM held stead...

THE SKED’S FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 5/11/12

      Even with finales on hand, nothing stirred viewers. FOX:  THE FINDER aired what turned out to be its series finale and FRINGE had its season finale, with a respective 1.1 and 1.0, up very slightly for both. &n...

THE SKED’S FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 11/18/11

> Something unusual for NBC these days:  good news. NBC:  A 1.6 rating may not sound like anything to celebrate, but it’s a pretty good number for Friday night (only one show all evening did better last night).&...
