    Metered Market Monday Ratings
    ABC Wins; NBC Remains the Network to Beat in the Key Demos

    Monday 3/23/15

    Household
    Rating/Share
    ABC 8.1/13
    NBC 6.4/10
    CBS 5.6/ 9
    Fox 2.4/ 4
    CW 0.5/ 1

    -Percent Change from the Year-Ago Oscar Evening – Monday 3/24/14
    CBS: +19, ABC: – 7, NBC: -15, Fox and CW: -37 each

    ———-

    Note: The following labels are based on the household overnights and are subject to change given the availability of other pending data streams. The overnights are your first look at what to potentially expect when the other results come in. And we always take into account other benchmarks including the expected demographic ratings, potential DVR usage, the critical acclaim (or lack of) and the social media presence. Keep in mind, as always, that results for any live sporting event are always approximate.

    -Winners:
    “Dancing with the Stars” (ABC), “The Voice” (NBC)

    -Honorable Mention:
    “Scorpion” (CBS), “NCIS: Los Angeles” (CBS)

    -Losers (excluding repeats):
    “The Following” (Fox), “The Night Shift” (NBC)

    ———-

    Ratings Breakdown:
    ABC opened this fourth Monday in March on a typically winning overnight note care of “Dancing With the Stars,” which scored a 9.4 rating/15 share in households from 8-10 p.m. Last week, a 9.8 in the overnights for “Dancing With the Stars” translated into 14.16 million viewers and a 2.1 rating/7 share among adults 18-49 (based on the Live + Same Day data), so the show is still very healthy. But competing “The Voice” on NBC, which trailed with a 7.9/12 in the overnights, owns the night in all the key young adult demos, and its advantage will remain significant. As for this season of “DWTS,” it is obviously all about Rumer Willis.

    Tops in the 10 p.m. hour was “NCIS: Los Angeles” on CBS, with a 5.8/10, which was 76 percent above failed year-ago occupant “Hostages” (3.3/ 6 on 3/24/14). “Castle” on ABC, which is beginning to show its age, followed with a 5.5/ 9 (down 15 percent from the 6.5/11 one year earlier). And in the distant No. 3 spot was “The Night Shift” on NBC (3.4/ 6), which held only 43 percent of the 9:30 p.m. portion of “The Voice” (7.9/12). Another episode of “The Night Shift” is scheduled tonight at 10 p.m. opposite “Forever” on ABC and “Person of Interest” on CBS.

    Earlier in the evening on CBS were sitcoms “2 Broke Girls” (#3: 4.9/ 8) and “Mike & Molly” (#3: 5.1/ 8) from 8-9 p.m., followed by freshman hit “Scorpion” at a 6.1/ 9 (#3) from 9-10 p.m. Comparably, “Scorpion” built from “Mike & Molly” by 20 percent and from year-ago occupants “Mike & Molly” (5.5/ 8 on 3/24/15) and “Mom” (5.0/ 8) by 16 percent in the overnights.

    Elsewhere, two episodes of fading Fox drama “The Following” could not compete, with a distant 2.5/ 4 from 8-10 p.m. One year earlier, the regularly scheduled 9 p.m. edition of “The Following” scored a 3.4/ 5 in the overnights. And The CW populated the evening with encore telecasts of “The Originals” and “Jane the Virgin,” which each scored a 0.5/ 1.

    In late night, “The Late Late Show with James Corden” on CBS debuted at a 1.4/ 5 in the household overnights from 12:30-1:30 a.m., which was 27 percent above the 1.1/ 4 for Craig Ferguson on the year-ago evening. It led out of a 2.2/ 6 for David Letterman from 11:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m., and its competition – “Late Night with Seth Meyers” on NBC – scored a 1.2/ 4 (out of a 2.4/ 6 for “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”). ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” (2.4/ 6) led into a 1.4/ 5 for “Nightline” in the 12:30 a.m. half-hour.

  1. The Night Shift continues to do bad in that slot
    The Following is beyond dead

    ReplyDelete
  2. So glad Scorpion is still kicking as*. Shame we are already near the end? Any season finale date announced!
    Sad The Following is doing so poor. Not the great drama it was in early season 1 and early in S2.

    ReplyDelete
  3. What is it with these double episodes schedule Fox? Yesterday it was LMoE and now The Following. And NBC is airing two episodes of TNS in two days, doesn't seem much better.

    And Marc, it was Intelligence on CBS last year, not Hostages.

    ReplyDelete
  4. So apparently, Scorpion will air it's season finale on 20th April. I have no idea why CBS didn't order extra episodes and carry it till May. And what will CBS air in it's place, the last 3 episodes of Stalker?

    ReplyDelete
  5. I think Castle S8 should be the final

    ReplyDelete
  6. There haven't been any announcements for season finales besides the CW. I thought we always get these in March.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I'm guessing NBC placing The Night Shift on Tuesday this week is just their way of getting rid of another episode. If it pulls a 3.4/6 after The Voice, those are going to likely be some really low ratings after the comedy block.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I think NBC wants to swap TNS and CF.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Top 25 Numbers are being added. Please refresh for updates

    ReplyDelete
  10. Thanks just saw Babar commenting and announcing it for April20th.

    ReplyDelete
  11. The next episode is the Chicago Med backdoor pilot, so I would be in support of that move. If NBC is serious about making this a series, give it the best chance of sampling possible.

    ReplyDelete
  12. They came out pretty early today

    ReplyDelete
  13. Stalker is returning this month by words of Maggie Q. Probably The McCarthyns

    ReplyDelete
  14. They don't have enough time on the schedule to air one episode a week of The Following. a week. The last 4 episodes of the season will also air as double episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  15. This is NBC I highly doubt it - they will likely keep it there

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hmmm Interesting. Quite early. Especially with ep 20 airing next week. Stalker would use the timeslot and possible boost.

    ReplyDelete
  17. If it was, then CBS would have announced it. I don't see it anywhere on their schedule.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Dunno,I saw that on her twitter.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I don't really think if they aired it their, it would effect it's renewal chances.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I would like Stalker to get that slot.

    ReplyDelete
  21. She was most likely misinformed.

    ReplyDelete
  22. The Following is steady. I can FOX renewing the show for the 4th and final season. They can shop it probably to syndication as 4 season now are requirements today.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I know but just exiting with slightly better ratings. Still Hope never dies. ^_^

    ReplyDelete
  24. https://twitter.com/MaggieQ/status/576823614546268160

    ReplyDelete
  25. Officially, no. But they are listed on various TV guides.

    And FOX also announced there season finale dates: http://www.spoilertv.com/2015/03/fox-announces-summer-schedule-and-fall.html

    ReplyDelete
  26. 4 seasons are required for shows that do 22eps a season. Most networks need a minimum of 88 eps. The Following is far from that number.

    ReplyDelete
  27. It's most likely some sort of test run.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I really interested in seeing if FOTB can beat Undateable tonight

    ReplyDelete
  29. 88 episodes are requirement, which we take as 4 "full" season. As a limited series, The Following will only have 60 episodes by season 4.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Agree.Looks like NBC has plans to switch CF and TNS.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Tip:
    If you are using Google Chrome, instead of reloading the page over and over to view the ratings, you could right click on the table and click on "Reload Frame"
    You could do this also on other embedded elements, tables, and the Disqus comments.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I don't think it will. Undateable will probably beat it by one or two-tenths.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Thanks I didnt know that

    ReplyDelete
  34. Same in Opera, which is what I do.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Guesses based exclusively on top25 numbers:
    - Dancing with the Stars: 2.1
    - Castle: 1.3-1.4

    - The Voice: 3.4
    - The Night Shift: 1.4

    - 2 Broke Girls: 2.1
    - Mike and Molly: 2.0
    - Scorpion: 1.8-1.9 (this looks damn low, I hope it isn't the case)
    - NCIS Los Angeles: 1.5

    - The Following: 1.1-1.2

    ReplyDelete
  36. Scorpion got 1.8 in T25 for the previous episode too.

    ReplyDelete
  37. in Scorpion's defense CBS has been bad with scheduling

    ReplyDelete
  38. Season finale for SCORPION will air April 20th.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Yep, she was wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Hopefully it jumps again then. I would like for it to be the top rated scripted show of the night.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Yep, he saw that from my comment.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Has that been announced? What will air later? CBS is so strange with the scheduling this year.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Yep, announced. See my comment below.

    ReplyDelete
  44. On wikipedia it says 22nd episode will air on April 20th.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I can't imagine CBS ending Scorpion early to plug the McCarthys in the slot for May Sweeps, it would be very odd.

    ReplyDelete
  46. CBS is being scheduled by some strange people this year. I don't understand what they are doing.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Yep, me too. Why not order 2 more episodes?

    ReplyDelete
  48. Devon Maxwell-Pierce24 March 2015 at 13:44

    CBS dramas are all so mediocre in ratings this season. Very little spread between first and worst. It makes me rethink some scheduling assumptions I've made for next season.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I know but I dont have anything in mind what goes else there

    ReplyDelete
  50. 2BG will probably will be that.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Exactly. I've tried to find out what determines which shows get 22, 23 or 24 episodes by asking the people who tend to know that kind of stuff but nobody was able to really clarify me, other than saying that it is probably production related. But the strange thing is that if they had already so many episodes produced in the fall it doesn't make sense that there wasn't time for two more. It's all very odd.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Yes, I agree. But I wish it could be Scorpion.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Scorpion has a lot of growth potential though and its repeats are through the roof (quite literally). It is the biggest drama hit CBS has ever launched since CSI Miami all those years ago (on an historical adjusted basis, of course). That's incredibly huge. I think it is being hurt by a horrible scheduling. It's much easier for people to commit to one of the reality shows instead of watching them when Scorpion is off and watching Scorpion when it is on. I expect it to rebound big next fall.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Looks like the cult is killing TheFollowing

    ReplyDelete
  55. I don't know if you heard, but 2BG is getting only 22 episodes this season, but that's probably because it started late.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Yep, I agree. Hoping CBS will air it in the summer.
    CBS might be propping NCIS: NO as the most viewed freshman in X years, but that 1.6 for it last week was quite bad compared to Scorpion.

    ReplyDelete
  57. My guess is this:
    - 30/03: Scorpion 1x20 | LA 6x19
    - 06/04: Repeats
    - 13/04: Scorpion 1x21 | LA 6x20
    - 20/04: Scorpion 1x22 | LA 6x21
    - 04/05: Scorpion Repeat | LA 6X22
    - 11/05: LA X23 | LA 2X24
    - 18/05: Big Bang Repeats | Scorpion Repeat

    But this is really weird.

    ReplyDelete
  58. My guess is this:
    - 30/03: Scorpion 1x20 | LA 6x19
    - 06/04: Repeats
    - 13/04: Scorpion 1x21 | LA 6x20
    - 20/04: Scorpion 1x22 | LA 6x21
    - 04/05: Scorpion Repeat | LA 6X22
    - 11/05: LA X23 | LA 2X24
    - 18/05: Big Bang Repeats | Scorpion Repeat

    But this is really weird. CBS is being run by monkeys.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Scorpion has had a much better schedule than NCIS: NO though.

    ReplyDelete
  60. How so? And NCIS: NO has the dream slot, and Scorpion is beating it right now.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I'm more interested in seeing how the Night Shift performs tonight without the Voice lead-in.

    I'm expecting a 0.8

    ReplyDelete
  62. Yes I have heard that. Starting late doesn't really explain it though. They could have aired those extra two episodes during the two nights in the last month in which Mike and Molly aired out of reruns. Also, Mom started equally late and they gave it 24 episodes. Everything is weird.

    ReplyDelete
  63. NCIS New Orleans is nothing but an okay retainer of the mothership, I am sure it would collapse elsewhere. Scorpion is the best thing that has happened to their drama slate in years!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Mom has 22 episodes, too and will air the season finale on April 30th.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Yeah, Scorpion does well considering its up against high rated and watched reality tv pretty much all season. But DWTS def takes away some of those older CBS viewers who might have watched Scorpion otherwise. It also hasn't been helped by bad scheduling since Jan an orig always followed by a repeat. At least next week its another repeat, so therel/ be a break of about a month before the final 2 eps with

    ReplyDelete
  66. Make sense then for them to withhold those remaining Stalker episodes if CBS basically burned much of the second half of the season with only fewer encores.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Oh really? There were previous announcements of a 24 episode order. Then why the hell did they force the show to air on Thanksgiving? And has CBS officially given up on Sweeps? What will they be airing in May if everything ends in April?

    ReplyDelete
  68. Devon Maxwell-Pierce24 March 2015 at 13:59

    You're probably right. I'm just skeptical of any show right now. As mediocre as Elementary is rated now, it started off routinely pulling 3s just two years ago. Now it's flatlined. Decent DVR growth, good rerun ratings relative to new, but it is now syndication farm fodder. So hard to predict.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Accoriding to Wikipedia these are the orders for CBS shows
    25 episodes:H50
    24 episodes:NCIS,NCIS LA,Elementary,TBBT
    23 episodes:Criminal Minds,NCIS NO
    22 episodes:The Good Wife,Scopion,Blue Bloods,Person of Interest,Madam Secretary,2 Broke Girls,Mom
    Unknowm:Mike and Molly

    ReplyDelete
  70. I don't know where you read the 24 episodes, but I didn't see it.
    TBBT is also ending a week early on May 7th and so is CM (23 episodes) on May 6th.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Too low,I am thinking abou 1.0-1.1

    ReplyDelete
  72. Scorpion had only 1 break last year while NCIS: NO had a break in November and 2 breaks in December. For a new show, having your show uninterrupted early on like Scorpion has is huge. Then Scorpion came back for 1 episode early January, then Superbowl. Now it is in a holding pattern since February (one week off, one week on). March is moot for both since they are both experiencing the same thing but NCIS: NO was playing catch up to Scorpion's episode count in February.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  74. They have really given up on Sweeps then.

    I don't remember where I saw the Mom thing, it was a while back. I don't think it was any formal source though so I will take your word for it.

    ReplyDelete
  75. NICS: NO will only air when air when NCIS will air and that should be a blessing for it.
    And that might look like a good schedule for Scorpion, but it is actually a mess. Sure the uninterrupted run in the fall was great, but CBS should have aired a repeat on Dec 15, so they have more episode for the spring and not take so many breaks

    ReplyDelete
  76. I am pretty sure Mike and Molly is 22 episodes. How do they plan to air 24 episodes of Elementary if there aren't enough episodes of the comedy before? And Madam Secretary has one episode over the good wife too, so I thought that one should have 23 episodes. Such a mess!

    ReplyDelete
  77. While we are talking, I find it odd too that CBS gave 25 episodes to H50. Seems a little too passionate, don't you think?

    ReplyDelete
  78. LOL at The Following.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Next week is another new episode of Scorpion, then another repeat and the final 2 episodes. See the air dates here: http://stvplus.com/show/479/Scorpion#episodes

    ReplyDelete
  80. On an historical adjusted basis (that is, dividing the average of the show by the average of the season as a whole, thus allowing you to make comparisons across years), Elementary averaged a 107 in its freshman year on Thursday. Scorpion, right now is at 135 (and is expected to end roughly at 136). That's 30% bigger, which is a huge difference, so I don't think they really are on the same realm.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Elementary just hit a 3 once for the premiere. Thought I'd mention that.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I also do not get that one. I don't actually know why those big orders aren't given more often to minimize repeats, especially with comedies (that take less time to be produced), but to only give it to one show is strange. I don't have an explanation for that.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Yeah sorry, meant to say original! Glad they're airing another orig cons3cutively but that leaves a longgggg break till the final 2 eps. Surely they'll air them end of April / early May?

    ReplyDelete
  84. So they will air LA three times after repeats (4 in total this season) instead of doing a two hour season finale? Okay then...



    Thanks for the info!

    ReplyDelete
  85. Like I said, only one more repeat till the final 2 episodes. The finale airs April 20.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Okay, so this doesn't conern today's ratings but we are waiting for the prelims, so I thought I'd bring up something else that is interesting. ABC airing the pilot of Grey's Anatomy on April 9th at 8, followed by 11.19 at 9, which will lead into 1.06 of American Crime. Now what's that about? And why are the essentially pre-empting Scandal by doing that?

    ReplyDelete
  87. Because they don't have enough Scandal episodes left in the tank this season for May sweeps so they're delaying the finale a little?

    ReplyDelete
  88. So my 2 Broke Girls was the #1 scripted show of the night? Awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  89. I was talking about that with Ultima over at TVBTN last night and I think this was the conclusions we agreed on:
    - It's the 10th anniversary of Grey's Anatomy, hence the pilot airing (it will be promoted as such)
    - ABC (unlike CBS) cares about Sweeps so they will try to squeeze in an extra episode of Scandal in May and this GA thing is the way they've found for doing so. So I think they will do a two hour finale for Scandal and bump the American Crime finale to Wednesday May 20th, after the finale of Blackish.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Which makes me wonder why they ordered extra episodes of a bunch of shows back in October and not for Scandal?

    ReplyDelete
  91. But the 10th anniversary was on March 27th, so this being aired this week would make much more sense.
    And like I said in reply to Gavin, why didn't they order any extra episode for Scandal back in October? They managed to work with a shorter order last season, so one extra episode wouldn't have made that much of a difference, specially if it was done so early in the year.

    ReplyDelete
  92. this is why so many people forget to watch an episode there are too many repeats, the only reason I sometimes know is because I read here and at TVBTN most people do not A person starts to tune out after a while and just forget about the shows entirely. They kill their own shows by poor placement and habitual repeats.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Oh is that confirmed? Why would they not air the finale in May? And what are they going to air after the finale?

    ReplyDelete
  94. Farewell Parks and Rec24 March 2015 at 14:44

    The Downward Shift
    Voice - 3.1
    Unwatchable - 1.7
    One Big Bomb - 1.3
    TNS - 1.0

    ReplyDelete
  95. I'm guessing Shonda doesn't want extra episodes for Scandal to keep the story tighter than have extra filler episodes? I noticed even after the short first season, there were no added episodes to Season 2. And then the shorter Season 3 didn't bump Season 4's total either. Could be in the contracts or Shonda's preference, but it seems Scandal's ceiling is 22 episodes a season.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Scandal is doing 24 episodes already in this scenario, and I don't think the show could have done 25 as those are really ununsual.

    As to why they didn't do the GA anniversary thing now, Ultima's assumption, which seems correct to me, is that this wasn't the original plan (which was to do GA | Scandal | AC the whole spring) but they decided to go for this now that they've realized American Crime is a flop.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Maybe 11.19 is also a great / special episode and ABC wants people to tune in.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Scandal's episode order is 22, not 24.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Yep, it's confirmed. No idea. And repeats of Scorpion, most likely.

    ReplyDelete
  100. I'm guessing a 0.9-1.0.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Winners: Scorpion, The Voice, Dancing with the Stars, 2 Broke Girls



    Honorable Mention: NCIS Los Angeles, Mike and Molly


    Losers: The Following, Castle, The Night Shift (although hitting series highs is a good thing)

    ReplyDelete
  102. I think seeing how The Night Shift does tonight will tell us where its core audience really stands

    ReplyDelete
  103. TNS will most likely adjust down.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Well, at least The Following is up a tenth. Still terrible, but a bit more promising than before

    ReplyDelete
  105. Scorpion got a 2.0, so 2BG was #2 scripted. Surprised that Castle is dropping so much from DWTS. I suppose the backlash from the S6 cliffhanger is real

    ReplyDelete
  106. 1.9 at 8pm post DST is still huge though. But I am also happy Scorpion took it home.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Sad to see 2BG and Mike&Molly down.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Yep. Should the show be able to inch up another tenth on its own, I think FOX could see some promise to it, but it would be still be a toss up at best. Chances are against it right now, but it seems its not out of the game yet

    ReplyDelete
  109. I am shocked,it ll probably adjust down.But if it stays this show could even fight for renewal.

  110. Which is odd consider Scandal only aired 18 episodes last year due to KW's pregnancy. Scandal has one of the most bizarre season orders for such a big hit: S1 = 7, S2 = 22, S3 = 18, S4 = 24 (hours, hopefully). Regarding filler, the kidnapping storyline, which would've been perfect to squeeze out more episodes last year and been a great end to the season, certainly qualifies as filler during the middle of S4.

  111. Oh, it's a likely cancellation. It'll need a few extra tenths before it's a bubble show, but when Gotham returns it may do better and hence be in contemption for renewal

  112. Great for the Scorpion and NCIS LA,2BG and Mike and Molly doing well.
    DWTS did OK and Castle is doing horrible this season.
    The Following did OK,it has stable audience.

  113. Thanks for clarification.

  114. 1.5 from a 3.6 is just awful.

  115. The Night Shift looks like it rose last and even beat Castle in demo, and tied NCIS LA. That is surprising. I know last nights Castle was Castle and Beckett light but not good that it went down. Nothing else is a surprise

  118. That drop for TNS. Yikes!

  119. I am surprised The Following is very stable,it could snatch a pity renewal.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Yay for Scorpion. Steady in demo. Big drop in viewership from past orig but not surprising considering it was up against 2 progs both with about 13 m viewers

    What's crazier is LA has had already done a both 2 hour finale and premiere already! Maybe shifting LA down to 9 and placing the last three Stalkers at 10 could work?

  122. It is a better option than doing nothing, yes, but still seems like a bad idea to me to leave the biggest freshman drama hit they have in years out of May Sweeps.

  124. Why are they airing The Night Shift 2 nights in a row?

    ReplyDelete
  125. Maybe NBC has plan to switch CF and TNS.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Re: Castle. Seamus Dever did a good job with his starring role. Bottom line, people want to see Fillion & Katic in the forefront of every episode!

    ReplyDelete
  127. That's about what I'm expecting, give or take a few tenths.

    Assuming The Voice adds about 4-7 tenths to the Night Shift (as we have seen evident in Chicago Fire, About A Boy, and The Blacklist) then I think we could definitely see a 0.8 for TNS.

    I agree. But Sweeps are largely about 10 PM shows anyways. Local news needs a nice lead in. The exception really last year, when they were testing Person of Interest and LA here.

    ReplyDelete
  129. The Night Shift has 14 episodes ordered and the Voice only airs for 13 weeks.

    NBC is essentially replacing what would be a repeat of CF with a new episode of the Night Shift, while also assuring that The Night Shift won't have to air off-season with an American Ninja Warrior lead-in.

    LA & The Night Shift remain decent

    ReplyDelete
  131. That's probably generous, but it is quite possible.

    This episode will probably be the final blow for the series though. There's bo way it gets renewed, even for summer, if it falls below a 1.0

  132. This episode will likely be the final nail in the coffin for the Night Shift.

    There's no way NBC will renew it, even for summer, if it falls below a 1.0

  133. It is very telling to see how little the ratings differ between TF, and SH.

    Sleepy Hollow
    Seasons: 2
    Season low: 1.2
    # episodes: 31
    Fall show

    The Following
    Seasons: 3
    Season low 1.1
    # episodes after this season: 45
    Spring show

    It's hard to tell whether TF will be renewed.

    It is barely doing worse than SH, other than the fat that it has already hit 1.1 and still has 10 episodes left.

    The following is one year older, so where will SH be in s3?
    Sleepy Hollow ended before DST, where would it be at if it were aired in spring?

    I love both shows, and I can possibly see the following getting renewed because fuck doesn't have all that much of a reliable line up.

    Mindy is below 1
    NG is low 1's
    Idol is only on Top 10 and is hitting 1.7-1.8
    Empire is a beacon of light this fall
    Sunday is stable
    Gotham is reliable
    Bones was hitting 1.2-1.4 in fall.
    Sleepy Hollow will likely be 1.0-1.4 this fall
    The new shows look promising enough, but are there enough promising pilots to fill fall slots, and regular spring slots + replace SH when it ends next season?

  134. I can't remember when was the last time when Castle was the third in its timeslot against non-premiere episodes

    ReplyDelete
  135. I think The Voice likely overrun and TNS will likely get adjusted down.

  136. Seamus Dever is a much better actor then what he can show in Castle.

  137. Scorpion ratings make me so happy :)

  138. Hmmm Scorpion ratings no where near as high as they once were
