THE SKED’S FRIDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 10/19/12

Not a lot of support for scripted programming. ABC:  The Alphabet took the night, winning each hour with its unscripted trio of SHARK TANK (2.0, the highest rated show of the night), PRIMETIME (1.6) and 20/20 (1.4). CBS:  Som...

THE SKED NETWORK SCORECARD – 10/1/13

  So much for superpowers. ABC:  AGENTS OF SHIELD took one of the ugliest Week 2 dives in recent memory, plummeting a horrific 1.6 from last week’s premiere to a very mortal 3.1 rating.  That pulled the rug out from un...

THE SKED’S TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 2/28/12

> Did PARENTHOOD buy itself another season? NBC:  Creatively, PARENTHOOD‘s season finale wasn’t the show at its best (too many storyline conclusions crammed into too little time).  But its 1.9 rating built...
