THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/28/12

THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 3/5/12

> SMASHWatch is grinning this morning, but should it be? NBC:  Airing against repeats on both of the other networks, SMASH was up a big 0.4 to 2.7, a healthy number for any 10PM drama these days.  So… yay? ...

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...
