THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 1/31/13

NBC looks to its past–and faces its present. NBC:  30 ROCK had a nice send-off, a 1.9 that was up half a point from last week as old fans gathered to watch the gang one last time.  But “catastrophic” doesn&#...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 1/3/12

This airing against no competition thing is fun! CBS:  On Thursday it was the Eye’s turn to be the only network with original regular programming, and as with NBC the night before, it provided some lovely numbers.  THE ...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 12/20/12

  The X Factor cycle finale dominated a night of specials and reruns. FOX:  X FACTOR‘s 3.1 was down a substantial 0.7 from the last cycle finale, but was still enough to win on a weak holiday season night. ABC:  T...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 12/13/12

Another Thursday where football simulcasts could affect ratings on 2 networks.  For now, at least, Scandal is having a moment. ABC:  The midseason finale of SCANDAL, pre-football adjustment in Philadelphia, is at what would b...

THE SKED THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 12/6/12

Scandal shows some heat. ABC:  A dynamite episode of SCANDAL (written by creator Shonda Rhimes) that managed to propel the story both backwards and forwards via flashbacks and a startling episode-ending revelation had by far i...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 11/29/12

The week’s good times stop rolling for the networks.  (Note, comparisons are to 2 weeks ago, as shows were either preempted on Thanksgiving night or had atypical numbers.) ABC:  LAST RESORT, now just playing out its str...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 11/15/12

CBS dominates, without a singing competition to be seen. CBS:  THE BIG BANG THEORY, 2 1/2 MEN and PERSON OF INTEREST all had their best outings of the season.  Big Bang was particularly impressive, up 0.4 to a huge 5.5 that a...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 11/8/12

NBC grouts another night with its filling of choice. NBC:  So, yes–shoving THE VOICE into just about any timeslot on the schedule will lift both that slot and whatever follows it.  But last night’s special episode...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 10/25/12

Several TV institutions tottered last night. ABC:  It’s going to be awfully hard to justify a back order for LAST RESORT, which plunged 0.4 to a terrible 1.3.  Perhaps even scarier for ABC was GREY’S ANATOMY.  Th...

THE SKED: CBS Doubles Down on “Vegas,” Finds Back Order “Elementary”

  Neither VEGAS nor ELEMENTARY is setting television screens on fire with their 18-49 ratings so far. Vegas scored a 2.0 in its last airing that merely tied the perpetually bubbled Parenthood, and Elementary hit a somewha...

THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 10/18/12

Sometimes stunt casting works. CBS:  On a night when most of broadcast TV was even at best, 2/2 MEN was up a healthy half-ratings point from last week to 4.0, by far its best Thursday rating thus far.  The reason seems to be ...

UPDATED: THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 9/27/12

[UPDATE:  As expected, the post-football numbers for NBC left its shows with ratings virtually identical to last week’s.  Optimists might say that’s an accomplishment with this week’s much stronger competiti...
