THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 8/21/13

 

The summer’s unscripted Big 3 stayed in command last night.

Daily Comparison 2013 Wed Aug 21 three way

FOX:  MASTERCHEF was the highest rated show of the night with a 2.3, up 0.1 from last week.

CBS:  BIG BROTHER rose 0.2 to 2.2, which was also up a tick from last year’s parallel night.

NBC:  AMERICA’S GOT TALENT held at its season low 2.1, although “season low” probably sounds too dramatic for a number that was only down 0.2 from last year.  CAMP, however, is looking dire, as it tied its own series low 0.9, behind the hour’s CSI rerun despite the AGT lead-in (and since Camp started at 10:01PM, it could possibly slip another tenth in final numbers).

ABC:  THE LOOKOUT took an 0.3 hit, down to a new low 0.7 and below all but one of the reruns (of THE NEIGHBORS) that preceded it.

CW:  Reruns, at 0.4/0.2.

ABC is all new tonight, while ABC and CBS each feature a fresh hour of programming.
