THE SKED NETWORK SCORECARD – 10/10/13

  The fans came back for Finn. FOX:  Last night’s special GLEE episode, commemorating the character played by the late Cory Monteith, almost doubled the show’s rating from last week, up 1.2 to 2.8.  It was Gl...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 11/21/12

On the network’s menus for Thanksgiving Eve:  heaping platters of series lows.  (It should probably be noted that the reason it made sense for 3 networks to air new episodes last night, despite the anticipated lack of a...

THE SKED NETWORK SCORECARD – 11/6/13

Last night’s CMA Awards were a huge hit for ABC, but because the last two Wednesdays featured World Series games, the other networks (except for FOX, of course) were already down–the better comparison is to three we...

UPDATED: THE SKED NETWORK/CABLE SCORECARD – 11/14/13

  AFTERNOON UPDATE:  With the NFL game calculated out, both NBC and FOX suffered across-the-board declines that neither network–but especially NBC–couldn’t afford.  So there were new series lows for PARKS &...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 11/14/12

Another night to consider how low a rating can justify a back order these days. NBC:  WHITNEY returned to the NBC schedule last night, and the same nobody who watched it last year came back for more.  The show kicked off with...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 12/5/12

Thanks to Nielsen delays, Chicago Fire had to wait to get some unaccustomed good news. NBC:  CHICAGO FIRE benefits by not airing against a new CSI on CBS, because their audiences, while overlapping, prefer the latter when they...

THE SKED NETWORK SCORECARD – 10/2/13

  Another false positive? ABC:  SUPER FUN NIGHT started strong last night, holding onto 75% of its MODERN FAMILY lead-in for a 3.2 rating.  However, that’s the same number The Neighbors did in its debut last year–...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 9/19/12

CBS had an exit and an entrance last night, neither of them very impressive. CBS:  SURVIVOR: PHILIPPINES  debuted with 3.1, down 0.3 from last fall’s premiere (although that faced weaker competition).  That was followe...

UPDATED: THE SKED CABLE/NETWORK SCORECARD – 12/11/13

  AFTERNOON UPDATE:  No meaningful changes from this morning’s numbers, as  THE MIDDLE gained 0.1 for a still unimpressive 2.0.  ARROW got no afternoon bump. WEDNESDAY CABLE:  The DUCK DYNASTY CHRISTMAS SPECIAL (A&am...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 10/3/12

Primetime was only an hour long last night (2 for CW), so not much to say.  In preliminary numbers, NBC’s news division won bragging rights to victory in the OBAMA VS. ROMNEY miniseries that took up the rest of the eveni...

THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 10/23/12

3 sitcoms at 9PM were 1 too many. NBC:  THE VOICE, and its network, won the night, but Monday’s decline may not have been due to the shortened episode and combination of sports and Presidential debate.  Last night’...

UPDATED: THE SKED NETWORK/CABLE SCORECARD – 11/21/13

  AFTERNOON UPDATE:  As expected, post-football adjustment wiped out the 0.2 improvements for REIGN and GLEE.  However, THE X FACTOR only lost 0.1 of its 0.3 gain, sticking at 1.5, and THE VAMPIRE DIARIES stayed at 1.3.�...

THE SKED THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 12/6/12

Scandal shows some heat. ABC:  A dynamite episode of SCANDAL (written by creator Shonda Rhimes) that managed to propel the story both backwards and forwards via flashbacks and a startling episode-ending revelation had by far i...

UPDATED: THE SKED NETWORK/CABLE SCORECARD – 11/7/13

  AFTERNOON UPDATE:  With the NFL game factored out, the entire NBC line-up fell.  THE VOICE dropped 0.2 to 2.5, SEAN SAVES THE WORLD by 0.3 to 1.4, and THE MICHAEL J. FOX SHOW by 0.3 to a dire 1.0.  PARENTHOOD fell 0....

THE SKED NETWORK RATINGS SCORECARD – 9/26/13

  Another NBC vs CBS showdown–but this one goes the other way. CBS:  Two-thirds of a remarkable night.  The back-to-back episodes of THE BIG BANG THEORY that served as its Season 7 premiere were spectacular at 5.3/5.8,...
