THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 4/24/13

THE SKED: Misfit Toys Scorecard – “Smash” vs. “Vegas”

  This is what it came to for SMASH and VEGAS, both starry, expensive shows that once had Emmy lights glittering in their eyes:  fighting it out for 3rd place at 8PM on a Saturday night.  Behind the 1.5 for a UFC match ...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 4/18/13

  Hannibal‘s appetite wasn’t as strong last night. FOX:  After a slight surge last week, AMERICAN IDOL was back down to 2.9, a 0.3 drop and just slightly above its series low.  (And to add insult to injury, i...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 4/17/13

Two ABC sitcoms aired without their usual lead-ins, with mixed results. ABC:  The season finale of SUBURGATORY had to be a self-starter last night, airing as a one-hour without either Modern Family or The Middle as a lead-i...

THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 4/16/13

The Voice increases its dominance. NBC:  THE VOICE inched up to match its Spring cycle Tuesday high of 4.5, and with CBS in reruns, it more than doubled its nearest competition.  However, that did absolutely nothing for READY...

THE SKED’S SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 4/14/13

THE SKED’S FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 4/12/13

  No good news for the shows that most needed it. ABC:  The second week of HAPPY ENDINGS‘ Big Friday Dump was even worse than the first, its two half-hours scoring 0.8/0.6, down from last week’s 1.1/1.0.  Cre...

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

  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...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 4/10/13

  Has American Idol finally leveled out? FOX:  After 3 weeks of consecutive drops that brought the show down 0.7 from a month ago, AMERICAN IDOL was up a tick last night to 3.2.  That’s still a full point below its...

THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 4/9/13

THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 4/8/13

  The NCAA BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME owned the night, yet didn’t disrupt anyone else very badly. Fast national ratings for Monday (with CBS adjusted upward by ShowbuzzDaily to estimate the ultimate time-zone adjus...
