THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/9/12

> Unfortunately for NBC, there are other nights in the week besides Monday. NBC:  The gradual season-long collapse of THE OFFICE continued last night, as the show’s 2.5 hit not just a season low, but its lowest ratin...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 5/9/12

      Sometimes a win can also be a disappointment. FOX:  AMERICAN IDOL was the highest rated show on the air last night, and gave FOX the nightly win.  But… its 4.4 was a series Wednesday low, down 0.3 f...

THE SKED MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 6/18/12

THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 10/22/12

An oddball night, thanks to the final PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE and sports. NBC:  Normally it would be worth some concern that THE VOICE was down 0.6 from last week (still an easy winner at 4.2), but on such an atypical evening, it&...

THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 12/11/12

It was quite the 10PM hour on broadcast TV last night, as both NBC and ABC aired episodes largely revolving around their shows’ cancer patients. NBC:  PARENTHOOD scored a convincing win in the hour, matching its season h...

THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/18/13

A good night for those seeking true love and serial killings. FOX:  A big sigh of relief was breathed at FOX as THE FOLLOWING bounced back to 2.8, up 0.4 from last week (and the episode ended with a cliffhanger that should kee...

THE SKED’S FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 4/5/13

  Vegas doesn’t travel well. CBS:  It’s probably time for VEGAS to cash in its chips after a weak 0.9 Friday debut.  The number was particularly ugly because the shows that surrounded it, UNDERCOVER BOSS and ...

THE SKED’S SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 5/12/13

  A tough start to Upfronts week for the networks. ABC:  The season finale of ONCE UPON A TIME was down an ugly 1.1 from last year’s finale, leaving it with a 2.2 that was flat with last week.  Even worse was the 2...

THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 6/24/13

THE SKED NETWORK SCORECARD – 11/11/13

  A small but good sign for NBC. NBC:  THE BLACKLIST was only up 0.1 last night to 3.0–and even that might not hold in final numbers, since it started at 10:01PM–but the highly-promoted episode, which featured a B...
