THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 10/1/12

A genuine changing of the guard. NBC:  REVOLUTION slipped a bit last night (to 3.2), but it commandingly beat up both CBS and ABC, and is looking like a true hit, at least in the short term.  THE VOICE, of course, provided a ...

THE SKED: Showtime’s Big Night

THE SKED SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 9/30/12

People aren’t all that interested in renting an apartment from the devil. ABC:  666 PARK AVENUE won the battle of scripted hours at 10PM (both way behind NFL Football, of course), but it lost a third of its lead-in and h...

THE SKED’S FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 9/28/12

Another step toward the end of original programming on Fridays. CBS:  MADE IN JERSEY is the worst flop of the season’s first week, a disaster at 1.1 any way the numbers are cut.  The show could only tie a repeat of the ...

UPDATED: THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 9/27/12

[UPDATE:  As expected, the post-football numbers for NBC left its shows with ratings virtually identical to last week’s.  Optimists might say that’s an accomplishment with this week’s much stronger competiti...

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 TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 9/25/12

  No real winners. FOX:  People forget just how much NEW GIRL had slipped since the heady days of its premiere–although it sounds awful to compare last night’s pair of 2.7s to that 4.8 start a year ago, the ev...
