SUNDAY HBO: It’s still TRUE BLOOD season, and even though the show slipped 0.1 to 2.4 among 18-49s, holding more or less even in total viewers at 4.5M, that was by far the biggest cable rating of the night. In ...
THE SKED: The “Bunheads” Dance Is Done

THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 6/25/13
Only one show on network TV last night topped a 2 rating. NBC: AMERICA’S GOT TALENT was the dominant winner of the night with a 2.6, although that was down from its previous airings when it shared the night with ...
