Another winning Monday night for NBC, although the 4.0 adult 18-49 rating in the preliminary fast nationals is actually at the low end for this season.  CBS, ABC and FOX are back to where they were three weeks ago, before the disruptions from the final Presidential Debate on 10.22 and Hurricane Sandy Coverage on 10.29.

Over the weekend football continued to dominate the afternoon sports daypart.  On Saturday, college football filled the air, but only one game broke out: Stanford upsetting Oregon in prime time on ABC.  The other big upset (Kansas State at Baylor) aired opposite it on ESPN, but the game never really got off the ground since […]

A newsmagazine took the crown on a mostly down night. NBC:  There must have been some reason why DATELINE zoomed 0.6 from last week, increasing its rating by more than 50% and topping the night with a 1.7.  Whatever it was, the show should consider trying it again.  The evening started with a decent 1.5 […]

Not the kind of history the major networks like to set. CW:  Last night may have been the first time a CW series beat not one, but two of the big networks, as THE VAMPIRE DIARIES climbed an impressive 0.3 to 1.3 and NBC and ABC fell.  At 9PM, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST was also […]
