THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 3/14/13

  A historically bad night. FOX:  That sound was every FOX executive’s communal indigestion, as once-mighty AMERICAN IDOL hit its all-time low for a regularly-scheduled episode, a 3.0 that was just barely over X Fac...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 3/13/13

On a night of reruns, no one sought out the original programming either. FOX:  Remember when the knock on X-Factor was “well, it’s no AMERICAN IDOL“?  The distance is narrowing:  last night’s 3.6 for ...

THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 3/12/13

With the NCIS shows in reruns, only one series even reached a 2 last night. FOX:  The season premiere of KITCHEN NIGHTMARES was at 2.2, down a very reasonable 0.2 from last year and the highest-rated show on a slow night. ABC:...

THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 3/11/13

The Bachelor dominates the night.  (Also, a housekeeping note:  as you’ll see below, we’ve now including not just nightly and year-ago charts in these daily reports, but also the 6-week track of all the night̵...

THE SKED’S SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 3/10/13

Daylight Savings Time arrives. ABC:  The 8PM shows on CBS and FOX were both down with the arrival of Daylight Savings Time, so viewed in that light, ONCE UPON A TIME‘s 2.2, although matching a low and down a heavy 0.7 fr...

THE SKED’S FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 3/8/13

Golden Boy may not even be brass. CBS:  It’s hard to tell at this point if the awful 1.0 for GOLDEN BOY was a true sign of disaster or merely viewer conclusion about the show airing once on Friday and then going back to ...

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

You know it’s a weird night when the clearest-cut winner is Community. FOX:  As of this morning’s preliminary numbers, FOX won the night, but it’s loaded with asterisks.  AMERICAN IDOL‘s 3.5 may change...

THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 3/5/13

Just a dismal night, even for the winners. FOX:  A special 2-hour AMERICAN IDOL (live, except on the west coast) won the night with a 3.4, but according to CBS, during the 8PM hour it was actually at 3.3 (climbing in Hour 2), ...

THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD 3/4/13

CBS reruns don’t change much for the other networks. FOX:  Last night’s THE FOLLOWING felt a lot like an episode of 24, and parts of it were borderline ludicrous, but it was the game-changer the series needed, allo...

THE SKED’S SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 3/3/13

More grim news for ABC and NBC. ABC:  After ONCE UPON A TIME set the tone with a series-low 2.1, down 0.3 from its last airing, RED WIDOW had a disastrous 2-hour debut at 1.4.  That ended ABC’s chance to launch any succ...

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 WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/27/12

February sweeps comes to an end. NBC:  The Peacock may have had a sweeps of historically awful proportions (as has been widely reported, this is the first time ever that a major English-language network has lost to Univision d...

THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/26/13

CBS is going to win this season, but not on the strength of its new series. CBS:  The one area where CBS has been weak this season (although no weaker than anyone else) has been in launching new series, with only Elementary ha...

THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/25/13

CBS takes a hit. CBS:  The only good news of the night was that HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER held steady at 3.4 (although the episode itself was another “running in place” half-hour, as the show continues to put off reach...
