SHOWBUZZDAILY MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2.16.2015

 

The newly-rehired CELEBRITY APPRENTICE finale earned a blah reference.

DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary key advertiser demographics (adult 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 ratings), audience skews (women 18-49, men 18-49 and adults 50+ shares) and total viewership (thousands of people over the age of 2).

Ratings analysis and comparisons follow the chart.

Demo Profile 2015 MON.16 Feb

NBC:  The 2013 finale of CELEBRITY APPRENTICE was unimpressive enough at 1.5 that it stayed off the air for almost 2 years.  The 2015 installment managed an extra tenth, ending its season at 1.6 (up 0.2 from last week).  The likely-dead STATE OF AFFAIRS stayed at 1.0.

CBS:  The network runs a music-themed special each year as part of its deal with the Grammys organization.  This year, STEVIE WONDER:  SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE was at 1.4, down 0.7 from last year’s Beatles special (which aired on a Sunday and tied into the 50th anniversary of the band’s Ed Sullivan Show appearance).  Earlier in the evening, 2 BROKE GIRLS and MIKE & MOLLY were both at 2.2, which was down 0.1 for GIRLS.

FOX:  GOTHAM and SLEEPY HOLLOW both had relatively healthy evenings, the first up 0.3 to 2.1, and the latter up 0.2 to 1.4.

ABC:  THE BACHELOR slipped 0.2 from last Monday to 2.5, and CASTLE was steady at 1.6.

CW:  THE ORIGINALS and JANE THE VIRGIN were both at 0.6, which was up 0.1 for ORIGINALS.

ABC launches the comedy reality show REPEAT AFTER ME in the 8:30PM slot tonight, and airs a pre-Oscar special at 10PM.  The other networks feature new episodes of their regular series.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
