THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 7/24/12

Don’t trust ABC with your life.

ABC:  The network’s semi-improvised comedy TRUST US WITH YOUR LIFE plummeted even from its awful premiere numbers, scoring 0.6 in both of its half-hours–that was below the sitcom reruns that ran in the 8PM hour.  NY MED was also down, although less steeply, to 1.1.

FOX:  Cooking reigns supreme, with twin 2.6s for HELL’S KITCHEN and MASTERCHEF that gave FOX the nightly win.

NBC:  AMERICA’S GOT TALENT held even with FOX with 2.6 from 8-10PM, but LOVE IN THE WILD‘s 1.3 (which did however win the 10PM hour) lost the night for the Peacock.

CBS:  Reruns, all at 1.1

CW:  THE LA COMPLEX, which really isn’t a bad little show, fell to an abysmal 0.2 with an original episode, watched by fewer than 400,000 people in total.  That made the 0.3 for a HART OF DIXIE rerun look good by comparison.

Tonight NBC bookends America’s Got Talent with 2 new specials:  WORLD’S BEST COMMERCIALS and JIMMY FALLON’S PRIMETIME MUSIC SPECIAL.  BIG BROTHER, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and FINAL WITNESS are the new offerings on the other networks.
