Ratings Breakdown:
Thursday remains a two-network race, with the “TGIT”-themed programming block on ABC outdelivering week two of CBS’ regularly scheduled line-up by 11 percent in the household overnights. Veteran “Grey’s Anatomy” opened on ABC with a second-place 6.3 rating/10 share from 8-9 p.m., followed by “Scandal” (#1: 7.5/12) and recently introduced “How To Get Away With Murder” (#1: 6.7/11) from 9-11 p.m. Combined, the three dramas were 33 percent above the year-ago evening (which included failed “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland” at 8 p.m.).
“The Big Bang Theory” on CBS topped the night, of course, with a 10.5/17 in the 8 p.m. half-hour. And it led into a 6.8/10 (#1) for relocated “Mom” at 8:30 p.m., which was equal to year-ago occupant “The Millers” (and is a considerable improvement from its former performance Monday at 9:30 p.m. out of “Mike & Molly”).
In week two news, CBS sitcom “The McCarthys” slipped to a distant second-place 4.5/ 7 at 9:30 p.m., which was 18 percent below the 5.5/ 9 one week earlier and 20 percent below former time period occupant “Two and a Half Men” on the year-ago evening (5.6/ 9 on 11/07/13). That 5.5 in the overnights last week translated into 8.08 million viewers and a 1.7 rating/5 share among adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data. So, you can expect a demo rating of only about a 1.4.
Comparably, overnight retention for “The McCarthys” out of “Two and a Half Men” (#2: 5.9/ 9) was also modest at 76 percent.
Drama “Elementary” closed the night for the Eye net with a second-place 4.6/ 8 at 10 p.m., which declined by 18 percent from the 5.6/10 on the year-ago evening and it trailed aforementioned “How To Get Away With Murder” on ABC by 33 percent. What CBS sees in “Elementary” remains a mystery.
Elsewhere, the results were minimal. Fox dipped by six percent in the overnights from one week earlier with its pairing of veteran “Bones” (#3: 3.6/ 6) and episode six of limited drama “Gracepoint” (#4: series low 2.1/ 3). And NBC could not compete with its line-up of relocated “The Biggest Loser” (#4: 2.7/ 4), which has not benefited anchoring Thursday, canceled sitcoms “Bad Judge” (#3: 2.5/ 4) and “A To Z” (#4: 1.9/ 3), and soon-to-conclude “Parenthood” (#3: 2.6/ 4).
The CW, meanwhile, got a slight boost with its pairing of dramas “The Vampire Diaries” (#5: 1.5/ 2) and “Reign” (#5: 1.0/ 2). But the two, on average, were still down by 19 percent from the year-ago evening.

What CBS sees in “Elementary” remains a mystery.
ReplyDelete3 million dollars per episode
Good for TGIT- expect it to rise as it goes closer to fall finales
ReplyDelete(Greys didn't drop to much against TBBT)
I agree but I think it would be worth rephrasing to :"What whichever network paid that much for Elementary reruns expects from it remains a mystery."
ReplyDeleteThats really bad for The McCarthys. It will most likely be pulled tomorrow.
ReplyDelete“How To Get Away With Murder” (6.7/11) just like last week, and it was 2.7
ReplyDeleteThat would be WGN America, lol. I was pretty surprised when they paid that much. It's not like the show is pulling amazing ratings or is something extraordinary.
ReplyDeleteSucks im really enjoying it :(
ReplyDeleteI agree. We Are Men was pulled after the second episode, so this might as well. I think they will quarantine Thursdays 9h30-11 to be syndication farm for the rest of the year and do Millers+Elementary.
ReplyDeleteI hope GA was mostly steady.
ReplyDeleteI agree. And, perhaps even more relevant for their case, the show does awful in reruns for a standard CBS procedure. This summer numbers were really bad and they had the best lead-in of any rerun from Big Brother.
ReplyDeleteThe Millers deserves to be cancelled. It doesn't even have a syndication deal unlike Elementary. It will probably be pulling low 1s by season 4
ReplyDeleteScandal is even higher and Murder is tied compared to last week.
ReplyDeleteFOX looks even lower and NBC the same. Pull McCarthys now, CBS.
I like how Berman calls last nights CW ratings "a slight boost" while still down but calls CW Wednesday's "problematic."
ReplyDeleteThanks for the numbers Berman, but I'll read someone else's rhetoric.
Try season 3, by season 4 I expect constant sub 1s ratings
ReplyDeleteI think Grey's will have mid 2s when the demo comes out in a few hours.
ReplyDeleteScandal's episode last night was reminiscent of the crazy twisty episodes of the last 2 seasons that have made the show the hit it is today. I'm not surprised it was up.
ReplyDeleteYeah I think it will do low 1s by this spring unless it goes back to behind TBBT (and if they do such a thing, the entire industry and media will mock CBS).
ReplyDeleteI agree that The Millers deserves to be cancelled. It's already doing worse than FWBL did last Spring in the same slot and in a lower viewed portion of the year without having spent an year building an audience post TBBT. That show should have been renewed over the millers as it had a lot of potential to grow and become a new How I Met Your Mother type of player for them. It was also strong on 18-34s and it had a male audience which is not common for CBS for shows not named Two and a Half Men. Sadly, I still think the millers is more likely to be renewed than cancelled.
I hope so.
ReplyDeleteI'm always mystified in this day and age when they don't offer shows like this on streaming sites like Netflix or Amazon Prime. I actually got curious about the show at one point, but I can't watch it anywhere. You'd think they'd offer it up just to appeal to new viewers who like to binge-watch stuff (like me!). Of course, maybe it's available somewhere, but I haven't found it yet. That's how I found Bones, which led to a short but furious affair, which is now over. But still!
ReplyDeleteAll aboard the farming syndication train!
ReplyDeleteEven low 2s will be fine.
ReplyDeleteLooks like TBBT might be below a 4.0 this week. It's pretty early for the show to be declining this much.
ReplyDeleteHH don't always correlate with ratings, besides last week the numbers were screwed up because of the pre-emptions. A 10.5 on Monday usualy meant mid 4s, so we'll have to wait till the demos and see what happens
ReplyDeleteIt's not down much from the overnight ratings it had 2 weeks ago. I think it will have a 2.3 or 2.4 in the final rating
ReplyDeleteLast week it had an 11.0 and got a 4.1
ReplyDeleteLast week pre-emptions screwed the HH ratings
ReplyDeletelow 2s would be amazing on that timeslot against TBBT
ReplyDeleteI believe it was pre-empted this week as well
ReplyDeleteIf memory serves, the last time Scandal did a 7.5 in the HH, it did a 3.4 in the demo. Let's see if it does anywhere near that vicinity.
ReplyDelete4 episodes in a row = Very strong quality. The next 2 better be excellent!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed! :)
ReplyDeleteI think that if it does, then Scandal has a possibility of high 3's for the mid season finale.
ReplyDeleteI think people downplay Grey's strength and resilience. The show was one of the first - if not the very first - to edge out an original Idol. It may be past its heydays, but Grey's shouldn't be taken lightly.
ReplyDeleteCBS' Thursday lineup is likely to continue being preempted for the remainder of the fall.
ReplyDeleteHe is retensionista!!
ReplyDeletetrue it still reaches 4+ in dvr
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping TVD can pull a 0.9 this week.For reign-i'll take 0.5.
ReplyDeletei love Reign but there is a reason Reign's ratings are decreasing ever week. they have completely ignored bash and his storyline in s2. Torrance had equal and more footage and storyline in s1 and bash was fan fav but in s2 he has been a mere guest like like role. even Narcisse has more scenes than him.
ReplyDeletein india this show and extant were the top gross in sales this year
ReplyDeletethe curse of sophomore . writers tend to go wayward in the second season.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this sentence entirely. People always underestimate GA.
ReplyDeleteI agree, but production companies and networks are still trying to figure out the new paradigm on how shows are being watched. I think eventually every production company will realize that having all the older seasons of a series available to stream in order to help people get into a current show.
ReplyDeleteTrue but it dint happened with originals thankfully.
ReplyDeletein Reign they are focusing more on Lola issues which no one is interested in. seriously Bash role needs to be increased or Reign is going to be cancelled
No Bones. :( I really hope they move it come January, away from TBBT.
ReplyDeleteMove it where?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we'll get top25 markets, since, if memory serves, we haven't been getting those as of late.
ReplyDeletei dont watch reign, but i think the ratings are getting better?it started as 0.4 fo rtwo weeks, then 0.5 and today it will probably still be a 0.5 but with more viewers than last week? unless i got it wrong
ReplyDeleteI think it would be really detrimental for the show to move again. Enough is enough, it has been moved enough I think. They should put it on hiatus in January for the double Idol hours and then leave it there. Do Bones| Idol or Bones | Backstorm or Bones | The Following, but enough with it moving I think. I wouldn't object to Idol | Bones either but I think they are unlikely to want Idol against TBBT in the lower rated portion of its season again.
ReplyDeletei think we should wait till final ratings
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to believe that lack of Bash has anything to do with the ratings.
ReplyDeleteThe only place I can think of is Fridays; Bones did amazing numbers there. Another option would be Tuesdays since Master Chef Jr is not running there all season long
ReplyDeleteDidn't know that. It will be tedious to wait for the finals every Thursdays until January
ReplyDeleteTuesdays against NCIS?
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying Season 2 of Reign but I have expressed my unsatisfaction with that as well. Bash is one of my favorite characters, if not my favorite, and I don't like how he has been sidelined. I get it that he is no longer part of a triangle with Mary but they should continue to develop. Not to mention that I would like to continue seeing his relationship with Mary somehow. I am not saying romantically but even in the first episodes of the show they had such a great friendship and trust in one another, now it's like they never even met.
ReplyDeleteBones is resilient, even if it has overlap audience with NCSI it should way better than any other option they have for 8PM timeslot, because what else do they have? Glee? A new show? Unless they pull up another Gordon Ramsey show I don't know what else they could do there
ReplyDeleteIt did amazing numbers for Fridays. But it took a huge hit when it went. It went from 2.0's to low 1's. It recovered in the spring, to higher 1's, but never got back. Now it's already in the mid-1's. I'd think a Friday move would hammer them now. Maybe not, but it seems less likely they'd hit those same numbers this year. Then again, it's Fox. I'll never get most of their scheduling/promotion decisions.
ReplyDeleteWith the way Fox promotes Bones a long hiatus would be just as detrimental. SN already implied on twitter a few weeks ago that they were moving days again. Honestly I think Fox just wants them to take the punches from TTBT and GA for 4 episodes until the end of November. What else could they put there? They did the same when they originally moved Bones to Monday against the Voice. It makes sense now that they've scheduled the 200th for December when there will be no originals of TTBT and GA.
ReplyDeleteLast spring Hart Hanson had made comments that he expected Backstrom and Bones to be paired together in the Fall. The fact that didn't happen doesn't seem particularly positive for Backstrom.
Usually I don't want it to move, but I have a feeling TBBT will kill it if it doesn't move. Because it was doing fine until TBBT move back to Thursday. All JMO
ReplyDeleteI was assuming Backstrom will pair with Bones after Gracepoint goes. Anyone heard anything about Backstrom or Wayward Pines - good or bad? Are both coming in January? I know Sleepy Hollow will drop off the schedule, with Gotham staying on, so I'm curious what they'll pair with Gotham.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone want to answer some or all of these questions?
ReplyDelete1) Which long-running show will end after all the others? (The Simpsons, Family Guy, SVU, Criminal Minds, CSI, Big Bang Theory, etc.)
2) Is this Revenge's final season?
3) Which classic show would you most like to see revived?
4) What do you think about the move of The Mentalist to Wednesday at 8 between Survivor cycles?
5) Should ABC move The Middle to make room for Fresh Off The Boat on Wednesdays?
I'll bet the Following goes with Gotham, and Backstrom with Bones
ReplyDelete5) No. Why mess with a line-up that is doing so well for them?
ReplyDeleteSleepy Hollow has 18 episodes this year
ReplyDeletewell I hope they dont have any great expectations for Backstrom then because it will be DOA behind Bones.
ReplyDelete"With the way Fox promotes Bones a long hiatus would be just as detrimental."
ReplyDeleteI agree.
You only have to look at how they handled last week.
ReplyDeleteI had wondered, from the description, if Wayward Pines might go with Gotham. Especially since it's new - depends if Fox wants to give it a boost or not. Looks weird, which appeals to me. They might just throw Bones and Following together, since both are aging and can't really be depended on as lead-ins. When's Idol airing? Maybe they'll throw the new shows on after those?
ReplyDelete1) Probably The Simpsons, the crew already said they would go as long as FOX lets them.
ReplyDelete2) No way to know for sure yet, but looks like it.
3) Prison Break, I'd like to see where they would go with it.
4) It was weird, but it makes sense to use it as a filler since it is ending.
5) No, it's doing good business where it is
sad to hear that, I'm waiting to binge watch season 2 at some point but Bash is my fave character so a lack of him is a complete turn off. Another show I used to love watching has also neglected my fave character in recent years thanks to writers caving to some loud and obnoxious sectors of the fandom. I wonder if Bash is suffering the same fate thanks to the writers/show runner pandering to the loudest fans?
ReplyDeleteOh that's right! And they're running them as a block, right? Yay. Forgot I have more of those ahead than we had last year.
ReplyDeletewell the HH ratings for Thursday were slightly up on last week, that doesnt mean the night is perfect but what he says is true.
ReplyDeletewait till mid season then change the line up to
ReplyDelete8-TBBT
8.30-The Odd Couple
9-Mom
9.30-TAAHM
and Monday
8-2BG
8.30-Mike and Molly
Fair enough reason, however they should move it to Friday or Sunday and put something else on Thursday?
ReplyDeleteDid you see Scandal yet?
ReplyDeleteNo, not yet.
ReplyDeleteFOX doesn't have the depth right now to move a solid player like Bones to Fridyas. Fridays have to be thrown to the wolves this year, they cannot worry about them with the midweek schedule in flames.
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing. Olivia has all of her fierceness back. You're really going to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteGood. I was sick of lip-quivering Olivia Pope.
ReplyDeleteI want the Olivia Pope of the first two seasons that wasn't afraid of anyone.
The Following going with Gotham is a bit complicated because of the "unfit" number of episodes.
ReplyDeleteFOX 8PM Monday: 22 hours of Gotham
FOX 9PM Monday (if TF goes there): 18 hours of Sleepy Hollow + 15 hours of the Following = 32 hours
So that means that roughly ~10 hours of the 9pm shows would have to air out of repeats of Gotham. It doesn't seem a very good idea to me. They will probably run Gotham straight through and put Wayward Pines there after it to pair with the Following.
So it's probably:
Winter: Gotham + Sleepy Hollow
Late Winter/ Early Spring: Gotham + The Following
Spring: Wayward Pines + The Following
Pope is a force to be reconned with this episode. Just wait till the end.
ReplyDeleteScandal is actually down.
ReplyDeleteGrey's: 2.4
Scandal: 2.9
HTGAWM: 2.8
I think The Millers will not be pulled.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your Monday predictions but I expect something like this for Thursday:
Late November/ Early December: TBBT + Mom + Men + Men (with tbbt probably going in repeats for the early december portion)
January/ February/ Early March: TBBT + Mom + Men + Millers (with tbbt airing repeats in January and March mixed in with originals)
Late March/April/May: TBBT + Odd Couple + Mom + Millers (again, with tbbt airing some repeats in April)
Mom also has to air some repeats in there eventually though less than big bang. Men would run straight through except for the christmas break.
TBBT: 4.2
ReplyDeleteMom: 2.6
2.5 Men: 2.3
The McCarthys: 1.7
Elementary: 1.4
VD 0.7, Reign 0.4
ReplyDelete18-34:
ReplyDeleteGrey's: 1.9
Scandal: 2.5
HTGAWM: 2.6
Half-hours for ABC' line-up:
ReplyDeleteGrey's: 2.3/2.4
Scandal: 2.8/3.0
HTGAWM: 2.9/2.7
Murder was up from last week. That's good.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but Scandal was down two tenths. Which I find either, tbh.
ReplyDeleteYes to mom well deserved!
ReplyDeleteBones 1.3, Gracepoint 0.7
ReplyDeleteGreat for greys 2,4 against tbbt
ReplyDeleteHopefully scandal adjusts up to a 3
I believe cbs is inflated
ReplyDeletePlease an adjusted up for tvd
ReplyDeletePerhaps Grey's overran into Scandal, causing it's half-hour to be deflated?
ReplyDeleteSo anyone know if CBS was preempted?
ReplyDeleteIf those ratings are not inflated, then McCarthys was surprisingly even with the premiere, not that tsaht is going to save it
TBBT needs to rise and so does Mom.
Great for TGIT
I believe they were in two markets
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this shows that Grey's was basically unaffected by TBBT.
ReplyDelete- ABC did amazing. Yes Scandal is slightly down but it's a bit of an irrelevant drop and I fully expect it to inch upwards in finals again and finish with a nice rounded 3.0. Murder is up at 10pm and GA didn't even blink from facing TBBT, that show really is gold
ReplyDelete- Yikes at the CW. Sad for both shows. I really thought TVD would benefit from last week's amazing episode. I find it odd that after the very uneven Seasons 4 and 5, now that the show is back to being good the ratings are down.
- CBS did okay considering last week's disaster but I will wait for finals on that network to say anything since I suspect there were preemptions again. I hope Mom holds though.
- Bones not going up is bad news. It tied The Mindy Project.
Are those NBC numbers right? Because A to Z recovered quite a lot. Not that it makes much of a difference, a 1.0 is not good, but it is much better than a 0.7
ReplyDeleteUgh.
ReplyDeletenot good tbh
ReplyDeleteThat was a good move by abc
ReplyDeleteI doubt it will see 1s
same reaction!
ReplyDeleteWhy Reign, why?
ReplyDeleteI told people that it wouldn't be TBBT bringing Grey's down.
ReplyDeleteGrey's is one of the most phenomenal shows ever, IMHO.
Okay, I'm kinda hapy that The 100 beat Reign.
ReplyDeleteNBC was pre-empted in Cincinnati due to football.
ReplyDeleteThe 100>>>>>>>Reign!
ReplyDeleteSo, inflated? That would explain it.
ReplyDeleteAny word on any CBS' pre-emption?
I agree. And though I like A to Z the numbers make be sad since About a Boy (which I adore) would be NBC's lowest rated comedy this week despite a better situation (though airing from Marry Me really isn't that good of a situation)
ReplyDeletestill dont think they would pick T100 over Reign when it comes to renewal based on both their currect ratings though
ReplyDeleteI would take out the "basically". It did this exact result two episodes ago. Grey's is a beast.
ReplyDeleteElementary is definitely dead...
ReplyDeleteThis proves that a show airing a day earlier has no effect whatsoever to the ratings, as I've been telling people since September about GA.
ReplyDeleteIt will be renewed for syndication.
ReplyDelete18-34 ratings per showbuzzdaily
ReplyDeleteABC:
Grey's: 1.9
Scandal: 2.5
Murder: 2.6
CBS:
TBBT: 2.6
Mom: 1.5
2.5 Men: 1.1
McCarthys: 0.8
Elementary: 0.7
NBC:
TBL: 0.9
Bad Judge: 0.7
A to Z: 0.7
Parenthood: 0.7
FOX:
Bones: 0.9
Gracepoint: 0.4
CW:
TVD: 0.8
Reign: 0.4
It finallt happened; a CW show tied FOX on the 18-34 demos
Grey's will go down as one of the most resilient shows ever. It's in its 11th season but from the show's pure strength, you would think that it isn't.
ReplyDelete3rd season show, massive syndication deal? probably not dead but moved to Friday or Sunday instead?
ReplyDeleteIt earns 3 million dolars per syndication rights, the show is not dead at all. It will be moved for sure, but it won't die
ReplyDeleteExactly
ReplyDeleteI mean it does 4.0+ in demo for dvr
Plus with online viewing, etc the show is still a powerhouse in this age of television
I think all of CBS will be adjusted down 1-3 tenths
ReplyDeleteI'm not seeing how Arrow with a 1.1 and 2.7 mil viewers and The 100 with a .5 at 1.6 million viewers is "problematic" while TVD with a .7 at 1.5 million viewers and Reign with a .4 at 1.3 million viewers is a "slight boost."
ReplyDeleteNope, 3 mil per episode will assure at least one more season.
ReplyDeletedidnt it happen yesterday also with Arrow and Hells Kitchen?
ReplyDeleteI would also go as far as saying that it will go down as being the biggest drama show of the last decade and then some.
ReplyDeletePeople expected TBBT to impact Grey's to below a 2. It's holding nicely on that mid 2's.
ReplyDeleteABC will go into mourning when Grey's finally ends.
Both About a Boy and Marry Me should be doing better; that's make it all the more sadder to see their numbers on Wednesday... and then on Thursdays we have to look at The 100 and on Fridays A to Z. Man, this season doesn't give us a break!
ReplyDeleteIt will be renewed.
ReplyDeleteCBS was apparently pre-empted in Cleveland. Have no idea the impact it will have on the ratings.
ReplyDeleteDidn't have the chance to look it up yesterday, but if so then all the more reason FOX should be doing something drastic pretty soon to try fix this mess
ReplyDeleteWow at Murder tying TBBT.
ReplyDeleteSo apparently CBS pre-empted in Cleveland and NBC in Cincinnati.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It faced a 4.2 and it didn't flinch. That's absolutely remarkable since everybody was spelling TBBT as Grey's undoing.
ReplyDeleteCBS pre-empted in Cleveland.
ReplyDeleteProbably none since Cleveland is the city equevalent of getting slapped on the face.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I just watched HIMYM and had that joke stuck on my head. No offence Cleveland!
Yeah. And Scandal is only a tenth off. Massive line-up over at ABC.
ReplyDeleteWhy? What makes Reign more profitable than The 100 specifically? They are both sophomore shows and if I'm not mistaken, at least partially CBS owned. What makes Reign so much more special than The 100? Nothing. They're different shows with a slightly different target audience. It will come down to what the network wants.
ReplyDeleteYaaaay Scandal and HTGAWM. Cannot wait to watch them tonight
ReplyDeleteThat would explain the sudden rise on A to Z numbers... man, I was really hoping it did recover even if it was back to 1.0 :(
ReplyDeleteBecause Reign will have 44 episodes at the end of the current season. The 100, won't.
ReplyDeleteThursdays dramas are ABC best cards. Seriously, all these shows are monster hits!
ReplyDeleteBones deserves so much better :(
ReplyDelete44 eps > 26 eps
ReplyDeleteIt may see high 1s but I expect those during Spring. Clearly, it won't be TBBT to bring down this monster.
ReplyDeleteWill that be significant for the ratings?
ReplyDelete*29
ReplyDeleteOh right, this year is 16 eps?
ReplyDeleteI am really not sure how big of a market it is.
ReplyDeleteThanks
ReplyDeleteCBS was preempted in Cleveland for football.
ReplyDelete2) i hope the ratings let it have a short fifth season but it looks like this will be the last one. I will miss that show more than any other show ; (
ReplyDeleteApart from TBBT, I agree. Elementary's numbers seem too high considering how weakly it premiered.
ReplyDeleteMom, don't you dare adjust down!
ReplyDeleteI really don't see it hitting 1s.
ReplyDeleteA to Z and Bad Judge are up?
ReplyDeleteMy most painful moments of the week ratings wise:
ReplyDelete1. The 100
__________________________
2. Revenge (this is one of my absolute favorites, on par with the 100 and though I would like it to stick around one more year, I could live with it ending this year if it is planned as such, which is why it is in second and the 100 in first)
3. About a Boy
4. Hawaii Five-0
5. Agents of Shield (this one is not about the show's survival since it will still make it but more about me wanting it to do much better)
6. Reign (this one will also probably still make it, so it's also less bad)
7. The Mindy Project, though they really are no different from what they've always been and I don't think will be critical for its renewal or lack of
I also dislike the ratings that Resurrection gets since I've grown more attached to that show this week. Depending on the weeks, I am also displeased with Vampire Diaries and The Originals though both will still get renewed comfortably, and I was also hoping for Mom to inch upwards.
NBC was pre-empted in Cincinnati.
ReplyDeleteSo basically everything was a disappointment? Lol jk
ReplyDeleteHey at least TWD wasn't a disappointment :P

It's 17 in the country
ReplyDeleteToo bad was Preempted,hope BBzt dosent adjust down at all or more than a tenth.Ouch at VD,Reign I was hoping Reign would stay at 0.5.
ReplyDeleteNah ahah. The greatest ones:
ReplyDelete1. The Walking Dead
2. TGIT lineup as a whole
3. OUAT's big surge
4. Arrow having such a great season ratings wise so far and The Flash doing so well
5. Scorpion's great numbers!
6. Brooklyn Nine-Nine doing so well in its new timeslot
Others like TBBT or MF are always pleasant as well but I take them more as sure things. I am probably missing others.
My list would be similar.
ReplyDelete1. The 100.: best show on TV right now, can't understand its ratings.
2. Revenge (I can live with it ending this season, even though I love it and I would like another round)
3. Marry Me (so much potential there, it just hurt me it won't be able to put it all out)
4. A to Z (ditto)
5. The Affair (those numbers on Showtime are dreadful, but since its cable it has a chance)
6. Resurrection.
7. AoS (I'm coming to like it more and more, but I still don't find myself as a real fan of the show yet. It's still sad for me to see it doing below 2s)
Ouch TVD, I hope it's adjusted up.
ReplyDeleteTVD often adjusts up, so maybe it will hit a 0.8 again. Amazing how much better a 0.8 feels than a 0.7.
ReplyDeleteEven though the demos are not really oustanding for Mom considering is TBBT lead in, it's nice to see it over 10 million viewers
ReplyDeleteThe fact is Reign is closer to syndication,The 100 is exspensive and according to another commenter has CWs lowest 18-34 and The 100 dosent have that great of retention out of Arrow ( yesterday The 100 got 0.5 out of Arrows 1.1& today Reign got 0.4 out of VDs 0.7)
ReplyDeleteYep.
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't talking bout Arrow but was taking about The 100's retention from Arrow because you know, he's a retentionista.
ReplyDeleteAt least it's doing better than The Millers with TBBT as lead-in.
ReplyDeleteThe Millers would do a 2.0 at best
ReplyDeleteDid people actually turn of their TV during Vampire Diaries? Since the ratings share went down?
ReplyDelete60% retention is not outstanding but it could be worse. But I was expecting 3s (though to be honest I was expecting TBBT to still be doing high 4s)
ReplyDelete"What CBS see in Elementary", Mr. Berman, is a fine show with a stellar cast. What I see in your comments is your own personal viewing preferences.
ReplyDeleteTHIS!! =P
ReplyDeleteThese are the ratings tvd deserves
ReplyDelete"What CBS sees in “Elementary” remains a mystery."
ReplyDeleteCBS see $$$ when it gets to syndication. Seriously Berman, do at least ten seconds research please.
Really, a Prison Break return? After season 2 it seriously declined in quality for me.
ReplyDeleteThe Simpsons will outlive us all.
ReplyDeleteSeason to date, these are the ratings for FOX and CW's scripted shows in A18-34:
ReplyDelete- Family Guy: 3.83
- The Simpsons: 2.96
- B99: 2.16
- Gotham: 2.05
- Bob's Burgers: 1.50
- New Girl: 1.38
- The Flash: 1.35
- Sleepy Hollow: 1.20
- Bones: 1.15
- The Mindy Project: 1.06
- Arrow: 0.88
- Red Band Society: 0.87
- Supernatural: 0.87
- The Vampire Diaries: 0.86
- Mulaney: 0.85
- The Originals: 0.56
- Gracepoint: 0.55
- Jane the Virgin: 0.43
- The 100: 0.40
- Reign: 0.39
Is it possible for a cancelled show to be given back 9 order after all? I know that Killing was cancelled and renewed a couple of times. #saveAtoZ
ReplyDeleteWhat does that mean?
ReplyDeleteTVD was a good episode, not so much Reign. hopefully pull tvd 0.9. Because sync affected the hearing on tvd, next week everything right for the ratings up.
ReplyDeleteLet us remember that, last week passed tvd NBC and FOX in the share of 18-34. these are great numbers to the CW!
ReplyDeleteI wish the haters would hate to leave next is to see if this season is good. It is not you who decides how ratings a show deserves.
ReplyDeleteI actually think the McCarthys is very funny! I laughed so much during these two episodes so far. Sad to see those ratings
ReplyDeleteHater? lol no they got rid of the only interesting and new storyline this season and its back to the delena telenovela. Not to mention the huge plot holes aboug alaric being human again just to create unnecessary dramatic tension and Because they Reeeeeaaaally needed to make Alaric Human again for what I don't know
ReplyDeleteI would do:
ReplyDeleteMonday: Gotham/Backstrom or Wayward Pines
Tuesday: The Following/New Girl/Weird Loners-LMOE
Wednesday: Idol/Empire
Thursday: Bones/Idol
Friday: Glee/Whatever
Sunday: Bob's Burgers/The Simpsons/B99/Family Guy/Bordertown.
All their comedies were preempted this week. In some places Marry Me aired completely and About A Boy was cut in half.
ReplyDeletePlease let Reign get a Season 3, Please let Reign get a Season 3, Please let Reign get a Season 3!
ReplyDeleteReign hasn't decreased, its been increasing.
ReplyDeleteHa! It's outliving the cast members doing the characters too
ReplyDeleteIt seems the people who like Revenge REALLY like it.
ReplyDeleteS5 isn't out of the question considering that Resurrection is struggling and it's hard to put something where Revenge is.
Wasn't aware that the episode orders made it complicated. You're right
ReplyDeleteLol nate Ryan from revenge on scandal
ReplyDeleteI agree about The Mentalist. I was wondering why they renewed it, but it kind of makes sense now.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if it's still on Thursday or not. If it is, then probably 1/2 hour followed by a new comedy. If not, then you're probably right, The Following would air there
ReplyDeleteTrue. I figured The Following would come back to Monday but Thursday could make sense. Unless they want to try to save it
ReplyDeleteI hope they won't move it. I think it still could next year though, if FOTB does well and gets renewed
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to see the demographic rating for Grey's Anatomy come back up to 2.4, this can only mean it will be around at least next Season and perhaps beyond that. Awesome!
ReplyDelete
