AMC:  Although still massive, THE WALKING DEAD has been consistently falling, down another 0.3 this week to 5.7 (plus another 1.0 from the 11PM re-airing).  It’ll be interesting to see how the fall finale scores on Sunday (last year’s had a 5.4, even with the week that preceded it).  TALKING DEAD was also down, […]

FOX has a Monday problem. FOX:  ALMOST HUMAN hit its lowest rating yet, down 0.4 from last week to 1.9 (now lower than Bones had been in that slot), but the bigger issue is that it seems to be hurting SLEEPY HOLLOW, which fell 0.3 to a new low 2.2.  If Almost Human can’t be […]

  NOTE: Season To Date and Weekly Network Ratings Charts Are Below Tonight is the last Monday of November sweeps, and with some variation (most notably because of baseball on FOX), most network series have been airing new episodes every week since the season began in late September–as many as 10 of the 22 episodes covered […]

The ratings below are household ratings from the 56 television markets with local Nielsen meters for Saturday November 23 and Sunday November 24, 2013. (The 56 markets out of 210 total cover about 70% of the US television population.)   College Football Week 13: Top National Games on Saturday 4.8 rating CBS 3:30 #12-Texas A&M at […]

  Live events remain one of the last bastions of network TV. ABC:  Despite facing a monster football game, the AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS were up a full 1.1 over last year’s edition to 4.5, towering over the numbers ABC has gotten with regular programming this fall. NBC:  There was never any doubt that the Tom […]

  CW:  The premiere of the final season of NIKITA may make CW wonder why it bothered, with a virtually invisible 0.2.  That was even worse than the 0.3 for THE CARRIE DIARIES, even with last week. NBC:  After more than a week of JFK specials, those interested had likely been sated elsewhere, as WHERE WERE […]

  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 BIG BANG THEORY and GREY’S ANATOMY were also adjusted up 0.1, which for GREY’S at least got […]

  FOX has announced some changes to its midseason line-up, mostly affecting Tuesdays. GLEE returns to Tuesdays 8PM on February 25, after airing its last Thursday episode sometime before January 16.  It leads into a single sitcom hour of NEW GIRL/BROOKLYN NINE-NINE.  THE MINDY PROJECT takes a long break following its January 28 episode, returning […]
