THE SKED NETWORK SCORECARD – 8/20/14

 

Two hours of Extant weren’t better than one.

Daily Comp 3way 2014 WED Aug 20

CBS:  In a hurry to get its EXTANT season over, CBS ran back-to-back episodes last night, and scored 1.0/0.9, the latter of which gave the show a new series low.  This was particularly ugly since the night started with BIG BROTHER climbing 0.2 to 2.3.

NBC:  AMERICA’S GOT TALENT is currently down 0.1 to 1.8, and TAXI BROOKLYN is steady at 0.9, but an exchange of 0.1s is possible when final numbers are released this afternoon.

ABC:  MOTIVE was up 0.1 to 0.8.  MODERN FAMILY led the preceding reruns with a pair of 1.2s.

FOX:  SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE slipped 0.1 to 0.9.

CW:  PENN & TELLER: FOOL US gained 0.1 to 0.6.

ABC has the 2-hour season finale of ROOKIE BLUE tonight.  NBC has pulled the canceled WORKING THE ENGELS from its schedule, and airs back-to-back episodes of WELCOME TO SWEDEN.  On cable, Sundance presents the season finale of the newly-renewed RECTIFY.
