THE SKED’S SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 11/13/11

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

> The small fluttering bit of NBC’s fall that was still breathing may have started to die last night. NBC:  GRIMM didn’t win its timeslot last night, after another 15% drop.  On Friday night, a 1.5 is stil...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 11/9/11

THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 11/8/11

> Post-baseball hangover over?  Not so fast. FOX:  Unlike Monday, FOX’s Tuesday seems to have been seriously dented by baseball preemptions.  GLEE only recovered a bit of its pre-baseball number, and despit...
