THE SKED’S MONDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 9/3/12

No one watches TV on Labor Day.

NBC:  The post-Olympics scheduling experiment reached its nadir, as STARS EARN STRIPES hit a new low 0.9 in its finale, and GRIMM‘s 1.4 was down 0.2 from last week and just even with its numbers on low-rated Friday last season.  (The network also aired some notably confusing promos last night, making it sound as though Grimm wouldn’t air again until Friday Sept 28, when in fact it still has one more Monday airing next week.)

FOX:  A pair of HOTEL HELL hours easily gave FOX the night with 1.8/1.7, although the 9PM hour was considerably below last week’s 2.4.

ABC:  BACHELOR PAD was up a tick from last week with 1.4, but the CASTLE rerun that followed fell to 0.6.

CBS:  Reruns, highlighted by a 1.8 for THE BIG BANG THEORY.

CW:  THE LA COMPLEX and a rerun AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL were both at 0.3.

Tonight, FOX has more new Gordon Ramsey and NBC airs AMERICA’S GOT TALENT before the DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION takes over at 10PM.
