  THE AMERICANS rebounded a bit in the ratings last night, rising to a 0.8 after 2 weeks of declines, but even if it had just held steady, FX would probably have awarded it a Season 2 renewal any time now.  As it is, the ...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/20/13

Another night with little for the networks to cheer about. ABC:  The first 90 minutes of the night provided some good news, as THE MIDDLE rebounded a bit from last week’s low to 2.2 (up 0.3), THE NEIGHBORS was up 0.2 to ...

THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/19/13

No good news for anyone last night. ABC:  It was never clear why ABC renewed BODY OF PROOF, which had marginal ratings last season (reportedly foreign sales played a part, as the network’s in-house studio produces the sh...

THE SKED: The Sun Doesn’t Set On “Downton Abbey”

  Viewership for the Season 3 finale of DOWNTON ABBEY wasn’t hurt at all (and may have been helped a bit) by the fact that its “surprise” death had been out there in the internet ether since the show aire...

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 SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/17/13

It’s been so long since there’s been a stable Sunday, what with preemptions and competition from football playoffs, the Super Bowl, the Golden Globes, and the Grammys (with the Oscars still to come), that it’s...

THE SKED’S FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/15/13

No one found a Week 2 bounce. FOX:  The season’s second episode of TOUCH fared even worse than last week’s season premiere, dropping 0.2 to a 0.7 that makes Fringe seem high-rated in comparison.  Touch couldn̵...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/14/13

Valentine’s Day didn’t heart network television, especially early in the evening. ABC:  About the best that can be said about the 1.3 debut of ZERO HOUR is that it edged out NBC and CW for 3rd place in the hour.  ...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/13/13

A bad night for most. CBS:  SURVIVOR returned from its hiatus with its lowest cycle premiere ever, a 2.4 that was down 0.7 from last Spring’s start.  The show ran 90 minutes, and CBS filled in the gap with a 1.6 BIG BAN...

THE SKED: “Happy Endings” Isn’t Heading For One

THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/12/13

Thanks to the State of the Union Address, there was virtually no original programming on the broadcast networks last night. ABC:  You’d think things were set up perfectly for THE TASTE to overperform, with nothing but re...

THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD 2/11/13

The Following is losing its own. FOX:  After two strong weeks to start, THE FOLLOWING had its second consecutive ratings drop, this time falling a serious 0.5 to an only moderately positive 2.4, just good enough for 3rd place ...

THE SKED: “Walking Dead” Keeps Chomping

  Last night’s midseason premiere of THE WALKING DEAD was disappointingly sluggish, uncompelling, and in its ending, downright silly.  None of that mattered at all to its hordes of fans, though.  The show returned ...

THE SKED: CW Kicks Off Renewal Season

  It’s always an advantage for shows to know they’re being renewed as quickly as possible.  With that security in hand, they can shore up their writing staffs before newly-ordered series begin making their pic...

THE SKED’S FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/8/13

A bad night for debuts. FOX:  No one showed up for the return of TOUCH, which started with a weak 1.1 in its first hour and fell to an even worse 0.9 in its second.  Unless things turn around quickly (unlikely, with Grimm on...
