THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 12/13/11

> We’re deep in the holiday TV season, and even with new episodes on most of the networks, viewership was on the low side. FOX:  GLEE and NEW GIRL have never bounced back from their baseball preemptions, and both con...

> AWAKE didn’t keep anyone from a full night’s sleep. NBC:  In the universe of NBC these days, you take your glass-half-full where you can get it, and here it is:  AWAKE won its time slot, it was up from i...

THE SKED’S SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 4/15/12

> NYC 22 goes down with the ship. CBS:  It was almost a full year ago that CBS announced the arrival of NYC 22 (which has changed titles since then), and after all that time… nobody cared.  The show debuted...

THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 5/22/12

    One-third of last year’s viewers have left.   FOX:  The next-to-last AMERICAN IDOL of the season, airing against repeats on every other network, scored a 4.2, which gave FOX the nightly win but was dow...

THE SKED FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 7/6/12

If the networks don’t care, why should the viewers? ABC:  ABC can take deep pride in being the only network last night to earn a rating over a 1, reaching all the way to a whopping 1.2 off a 20/20 with that score. NBC:�...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 9/26/12

So much for the monkey. NBC:  ANIMAL PRACTICE lurched into the regular season with an awful 1.4 start, the lowest rated show in primetime (other than on CW) last night.  GUYS WITH KIDS did marginally better at 1.6, but that w...

THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 11/5/12

A small cloud in NBC’s perfect Monday playground? NBC:  Last night REVOLUTION hit a new series low of 2.8.  That still makes it a tremendous hit, one that dominates its timeslot and indeed the 10PM hour in general…...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 1/3/12

This airing against no competition thing is fun! CBS:  On Thursday it was the Eye’s turn to be the only network with original regular programming, and as with NBC the night before, it provided some lovely numbers.  THE ...

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 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 SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 5/26/13

  There was no curtain call for Smash.   NBC:  SMASH‘s 2-hour exit was an ignominious one.  Although its 0.5 was up 0.1 from its last Saturday airing, it was very nearly the lowest-rated show on a low-rated holida...

THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 7/9/13

  Last night’s numbers were generally slightly up from last Tuesday, but still minimal. NBC:  AMERICA’S GOT TALENT rose 0.1 to 2.5, enough to win the night.  Similarly, a new episode of OFF THEIR ROCKERS was ...

THE SKED’S SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 8/25/13

  The regular season hasn’t started yet, but the NFL is already in charge. NBC:  Per Mitch Metcalf, although preliminary numbers have the Sunday night NFL PRESEASON FOOTBALL game at a 2.1, we anticipate that final n...

THE SKED NETWORK SCORECARD – 10/17/13

  CW’s experiment with historical romance didn’t get off to a great start. CW:  An 0.8 isn’t a terrible number for CW, so if REIGN can manage to hold there, it has a chance.  But its debut was 0.2 below...

THE SKED NETWORK SCORECARD – 1/12/14

  Tina and Amy remained solid for the Golden Globes. NBC:  In time zone-adjusted numbers, the GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS scored a 6.5, up 0.1 from last year’s edition.  It was preceded by 2.8 for the ARRIVALS SPECIAL. CBS:  ...
