THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 9/24/12

A good start for the Peacock. NBC:  Regular season competition dented but didn’t break the Monday line-up.  THE VOICE was the highest rated show of the night at 4.3, more than 50% higher than the Dancing With the Stars ...

THE SKED’S SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 9/23/12

Because primetime football affected 3 of the networks, last night’s numbers are still something of a mess, but this much is clear–the Emmys were down. ABC:  The EMMY AWARDS fell 10% from last year to 3.8, and specu...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 9/20/12

For NBC, the preseason was nice while it lasted. NBC:  The network launched its Thursday line-up last night against little or no competition from 2 of the other networks…. and fell off a cliff.  THE OFFICE, the last rem...

THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 9/17/12

NBC would like last night to repeat over and over, a la Groundhog Day; FOX wishes it never happened. NBC:  With a 4.1 rating, REVOLUTION opened big.  V big.  The Bionic Woman big.  Wait, those were fantasy adventures that h...

THE SKED’S FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 9/14/12

ABC’s Friday makes its season debut. ABC:  SHARK TANK, PRIMETIME and 20/20 all arrived for the new season with great consistency:  1.7/1.7/1.8.  That was enough to win every hour (and the night), although none too impr...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 9/13/12

FOX won the night, but has to be a little nervous. FOX:  The competition on Thursdays hasn’t even begun, with regular season programming still 2 weeks away, but at 3.2, THE X FACTOR couldn’t even hold onto its Wedn...

THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 9/4/12

Viewers have the same lack of interest in the DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION that they did in the Republicans. FOX:  Without the burden of convention coverage, and with its HELL’S KITCHEN/MASTERCHEF double-bill at 2.5/2....

THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 9/3/12

No one watches TV on Labor Day. NBC:  The post-Olympics scheduling experiment reached its nadir, as STARS EARN STRIPES hit a new low 0.9 in its finale, and GRIMM‘s 1.4 was down 0.2 from last week and just even with its n...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 8/30/12

The Republican miniseries ends.  Also, last night’s preliminary numbers are more preliminary than usual, because preseason NFL football made for lots of local preemptions. NBC:  An odd evening.  Again, numbers may be s...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 8/29/12

In a battle of reality competitions (and that’s not even including the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION), NBC came out on top. NBC:  AMERICA’S GOT TALENT had the highest number of the night with a 2.5, and an 8PM rer...

THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 8/28/12

  Republicans ♥ NBC? NBC:  Somewhat ironically, considering the Right’s loathing of MSNBC, preliminary numbers have the Peacock as the GOP network of choice for last night’s coverage of the REPUBLICAN NATION...

THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 8/27/12

Nobody is earning any stripes at NBC. NBC:  STARS EARN STRIPES is now a full-fledged disaster, falling to 0.9 in its 3rd week.  GRIMM fell a bit as well to 1.6 against reruns, which isn’t much better than the show had b...

THE SKED’S SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 8/26/12

Even exhibition football is football. NBC:  NFL PRESEASON FOOTBALL took the night with a 2.9, which is just a taste of what the numbers will be in a few weeks when the real thing returns.  Even a MADDEN NFL pre-show came in 2...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 8/16/12

Football isn’t even back yet, and it’s already a winner. FOX:  PRESEASON NFL FOOTBALL carried the night with 1.9. CBS:  Only the 1.1 for a PERSON OF INTEREST rerun kept CBS from the evening crown, as BIG BROTHER d...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 8/15/12

The summer reality shows keep grinding away. NBC:  The live hour of AMERICA’S GOT TALENT had the highest number of the night with 2.2 (no bump from its pre-Olympics Wednesday), but it was sandwiched between a pair of 1.3...
