THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 8/15/12

The summer reality shows keep grinding away. NBC:  The live hour of AMERICA’S GOT TALENT had the highest number of the night with 2.2 (no bump from its pre-Olympics Wednesday), but it was sandwiched between a pair of 1.3...

UPDATED: THE SKED CABLE/NETWORK WEDNESDAY SCORECARD – 7/9/14

  NETWORK UPDATE:  EXTANT slipped another 0.1 in final numbers to 1.6–a decidedly non-“event” result.  On ABC, MOTIVE gained 0.1 (as did the night’s MODERN FAMILY rerun), but TAXI BROOKLYN lost 0.1 fo...

THE SKED’S SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 7/7/13

  Another ugly Sunday for the networks.  Collectively, the not-so-big 4 were down 5% from the same night last year. CBS:  Proving again that there’s no such thing as bad publicity, BIG BROTHER has gotten extra atte...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 7/26/12

Olympics minus 1. ABC:  Possibly in the belief that its activities qualified for Olympic medals, viewers thronged to WIPEOUT, giving it a 2.2 that was up 0.5 from last week.  ROOKIE BLUE was also up a bit to 1.5, winning its ...

THE SKED SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 7/15/12

THE SKED’S SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 7/22/12

Apparently Sunday is a better night for romance. ABC:  THE BACHELORETTE benefited from having its season finale moved from Monday night to Sunday, scoring a 3.0 that was up from last year’s (Monday) finale by 0.3, and pr...

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 7/25/12
