Solid Return for “The Voice” on NBC; Weak “The Night Shift”

Household
Rating/Share
NBC 6.9/11
CBS 6.2/10
ABC 5.9/ 9
Fox 3.6/ 5
CW 0.9/ 1

-Percent Change from the Year-Ago Evening – Monday 2/24/14:
CW: +29, CBS: +24, ABC: + 4, Fox: – 8, NBC: -18

———-

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:
“The Voice” (NBC), “Scorpion” (CBS), “NCIS: Los Angeles” (CBS)

-Honorable Mention:
“The Bachelor” (ABC), “2 Broke Girls” (CBS), “Mike & Molly” (CBS)

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

———-

Ratings Breakdown:
“The Voice” returned on NBC in winning fashion, with a healthy 8.7 rating/13 share in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m. (peaking in the 9 p.m. half-hour at an 8.9/13). Comparably, this was only five percent below the 9.2/14 for the year-ago midseason opener (and that translated into 15.86 million viewers and a 4.7 rating/13 share among adults 18-49, based on the Live Plus Same Day data). And “The Voice” beat competing “The Bachelor” on ABC (6.5/10) by a noticeable 34 percent.

Leading out of “The Voice” was the sophomore season-premiere of NBC medical drama “The Night Shift,” which dipped to a distant third-place 3.4/ 6 in the overnights at 10 p.m. Comparably, this trailed competing “NCIS: Los Angeles” on CBS (#1: 6.3/10) and “”Castle” on ABC (#2: 4.7/ 8) by 46 percent and 28 percent, respectively. Retention for “The Night Shift” out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of “The Voice” (8.8/13) was only 39 percent. And “The Blacklist” on the year-ago evening was double the overnight rating at a 6.7/11. NBC would have been wiser to save season two of “The Night Shift” for the summer.

Over at CBS, 8-9 p.m. sitcoms “2 Broke Girls” (featuring a guest spot by beloved Valerie Harper) and “Mike & Molly” scored a matching 5.5/ 8 in their time periods (#3 each), which was right on par with the year-ago pairing of “How I Met Your Mother” and “2 Broke Girls.” Next was freshman hit “Scorpion” (#2: 6.7/10 from 9-10 p.m.), which built from the comedies by 22 percent. And that led into aforementioned “NCIS: Los Angeles” at a dominant 6.3/10 at 10 p.m., which increased from failed year-ago occupant “Intelligence” (3.9/ 6 on 2/24/14) by a hefty 62 percent. While “NCIS: Los Angeles” is no longer the force it once was airing out of parent “NCIS” on Tuesday, it has put the Eye net back on the Monday 10 p.m. map.

Elsewhere, demo friendly “Gotham” on Fox was consistent at a fourth-place 4.3/ 7 in the overnights from 8-9 p.m., which will translate at about a 1.8 rating in key adults 18-49. But sophomore lead-out “Sleepy Hollow” closed the season (or series) at a depressed 2.8/ 4 from 9-10 p.m., which was 22 percent below year-ago occupant “The Following” (3.6/ 5 on 2/24/15). And that should translate into about a 1.2 rating in adults 18-49, which is not sufficient out of “Gotham.” Season three of “The Following” opens in the Monday 9 p.m. hour next week.

In the specials department was an encore airing of “The World Dog Awards” on The CW at a not so special 0.9/ 1 from 8-10 p.m.

  1. Horrible for Night Shift

    ReplyDelete
  2. Wow, The Night Shift bombed. 3.4/6? That's horrible after The Voice.

    ReplyDelete
  3. NBC I guess your Monday move was a complete bust

    ReplyDelete
  4. Chicago Med here we come!

    ReplyDelete
  5. I woke up to unexpected amounts of snow, work closings and me agreeing with Marc. Is this Supernatural Tuesday?
    NBC should have known better with Night Shift and I don't even care that I'm saying I told you so. The minute they announced this, a lot of us knew it was a huge mistake.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Good job NBC, you screwed over The Night Shift, which was doing fine in the summer, and The Blacklist, which has the best retention from The Voice in the last 2 to 3 years.

    ReplyDelete
  7. NBC made a mistake giving The Night Shift The Voice lead in. Originally, I thought it was a good idea but as I wrote yesterday, it was tracking horribly. No one was anticipating this show. A 39% retention is Ready For Love territory. I can't see it staying here at this level.

    ReplyDelete
  8. SH got 2.7 last week and that translated to 1.4. I don't get him.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I hope The Night Shift bombing doesn't turn NBC off medical shows. Chicago Med has a lot of potential to do well.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I don't think so, many people thought TNS was a ripoff of ER/greys

    ReplyDelete
  11. i´d love that, fire and pd are 2 of my favorite shows. As for the night shift i tried to like but to my suprise i hated it and i usually love all things medical

    ReplyDelete
  12. NBC is nothing but The Voice right now.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Greenblatt is getting the boot after what happened with the Blacklist and the Night Shift.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Where is Aquarius? I don't understand what is the hold up with this show.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I don't know what is happening with Aquarius. If it's ready to go, it should take over the Mondays at 10 PM timeslot. The Night Shift can move over to Fridays to complete its run.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Is a 1.4 for Sleepy Hollow considered a good rating? I just started on season 1 (loving it!) so I'd hate for it to get cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  17. They will blindly order it to series, seeing how well the Chicagos have been doing for them.

    ReplyDelete
  18. That's terrible for the Night Shift, even though, I don't watch it. Is it at least better than State of Affairs? Now I'm worried about Undateable.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I like that he took a risk in moving The Blacklist feeling that the network would be more competitive on Thursday night. But he shouldn't have surrounded it by two new, unproven dramas. If anything Law & Order:SVU should have also been moved to Thursday as a lead in. They need at least 2 shows that they could depend on to attract viewers. And they still have not figured out The Voice's target audience and what other program most of its viewers would be attracted too. I know they wanted Constantine and Grimm together on Friday but I feel Constantine would have worked better after The Voice than State of Affairs.

    ReplyDelete
  20. They should pull TNS now and put it back on in the Summer. Though I'm not sure what they could replace it with. TBL repeats? Scorpion dropped quite a bit but understandable with the return of The Voice, which looks like it did well! Hope it stays in the 2s though. Surely The Bachelor should be a winner too rather than just an honourable mention?!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm really sad about The Night Shift. It was one of my favorite summer shows last year and I wish NBC had left it there. I really hope they give it another chance and put it back where it belongs.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I think SofA premiered way higher than that, but then again people are more prone try out a new shows than one on its second season.

    ReplyDelete
  23. They are saving for Summer. They are probably going to pair it with Hannibal.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Gotham is good enough yet again.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Looks like the Night Shift bombed despite The Voice being very, very healthy.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Safe to say that The Night Shift (and SofA, duh) will be cancelled at these ratings and NBC will try out a new show after The Voice, possibly Blindspot or Chicago Med

    ReplyDelete
  27. NBC is having a terrible, terrible season.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Looks bad for Sleepy Hollow.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Yep, all their freshmen are duds and they even damaged their two sophomore's along the way.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Two sophomores? One is obviously the Blacklist, but what's the other one? TNS?

    ReplyDelete
  31. I don't know whoever thought that bringing series from the summer to in season was a good idea. Because, to be honest....

    ReplyDelete
  32. Greenblatt is a genius!

    ReplyDelete
  33. TNS predictions? I say 1.4-1.5 out of a 4.3 TV

    ReplyDelete
  34. So genius that NBC only has The Voice doing very good ratings.


    Everything else is just horrible. Even The Voice's lead-out bombed!

    ReplyDelete
  35. And yet they'll still win overall in the 18-49 :lol: They must be praying that The Voice can keep going for a few more years, cbs when that drops even more they're going to be in real trouble

    ReplyDelete
  36. The Voice and football do wonders.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Last year, The Night Shift skewed old. So if its only has a 5 to 6 million audience, I'd expect low 1s.

    ReplyDelete
  38. CBS predictions .....

    2 Broke Girls - 2.0
    Mike & Molly - 1.8
    Scorpion - 2.0
    NCIS LA - 1.7

    ReplyDelete
  39. That is weird, right? I saw the loser label and assumed a drop from last week. Not unexpected with The Voice so I braced myself for it. The. I saw the number and was confused since it looked steady with last week or even a notch better. Huh.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Was there a revenge promo during the bachelor. Someone said they had seen one

    ReplyDelete
  41. I always say it's the shows. For instance, put a Chicago after The Voice and all the sudden, NBC wins the timeslot. NBC had the unfortunate luck of State Of Affairs (which the critics trashed) and The Night Shift (which critics ignored). Greenblatt made two huge blunders here.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I don't think so
    Only comedies TGIT OUAT American Crime Secerts and Lies DWTS

    ReplyDelete
  43. The Blacklist, SVU, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD are their only scripted shows that you could say are doing decently, and with the move of TBL, none of them are in the 2s. Worrying!

    ReplyDelete
  44. You forgot another blunder: Moving The Blacklist to Thursdays at 9.


    And then, out of nowhere, NBC can't get a scripted show to do a 2.0

    ReplyDelete
  45. I See Dead People24 February 2015 at 14:55

    I pray Fox has bigger heads to chop.

    ReplyDelete
  46. It's around the same it got last week. Most likely another 1.4.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Wow I hate to use overnights for conclusions but it looks terrible for the night shift. I hope it did better than it looks :/

    ReplyDelete
  48. It's been getting a lot of 1.4's this season so at least it's remained consistent. FOX have much bigger problems than SH so I can't see them cancelling it.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Well NBC gave it an upgrade, we can't blame them for this. But I agree that it is really sad. I hope the overnights are misleading as unlikely as it may be. I really loved the show last summer.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Anything below a 2 has to be disappointing

    ReplyDelete
  51. Was NBC always planning on airing TNS after The Voice when State of Affairs ended, or did they decide this as the season went on? I wonder if they'll move TBL back to Mons next season, and admit defeat

    ReplyDelete
  52. No, they only decided it when State of Affairs bombed I think.


    It was more of a patch situation that any real thing they did.

    ReplyDelete
  53. It was very unconventional but I didn't hate the idea back then especially considering their lack of options. Oh well.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Except that Sleepy Hollow got a 2.7 in the HH last week and rose this week to 2.8. Stick to the analysis, Marc and not the commentary no one gives a rats ass about. He Can't even admit that it rose

    ReplyDelete
  55. Still don't think they will move Blacklist

    ReplyDelete
  56. The Blacklist had to move as it couldn't hold Thursdays forever. So I get the reasoning behind that show.

    NBC would have shows reach 2.0 if they maximized The Voice potential. Marry Me, State Of Affairs, The Night Shift were not those shows. They are making terrible post The Voice choices. When that's your top lead in, a network can't do that.

    ReplyDelete
  57. NBC cannot and should not move the backlist back to Mondays. I don't know why people want NBC to keep a show that allegedly cannot stand by itself (which would be the case if they were forced to move it back to Mondays) in their best slot for a new drama while throwing new shows to Thursdays.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I get the reasoning behind that show moving as well. But Im not entirely sure where it should've gone to Thursdays to begin with.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Good point. A safer play would have been Wednesdays, perhaps displacing SVU, but I think that NBC just wanted to fix it all at once. They got ahead of themselves and tried skipping steps.

    ReplyDelete
  60. They won't.


    NBC will never admit defeat.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Would have been helpful if NBC ran TNS a few times before putting it back on the air again. Not sure why they think series can go off the air for months on end and then return as if nothing has happened. It just doesn't work.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I agree. It was ridiculous that they kept state of affairs in the slot instead of airing reruns of the night shift season 1 in there.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Wednesdays would've been my bet too.

    ReplyDelete
  64. They shouldn't! It's not about admitting defeat. I don't think people understand that regardless of the blacklist working or not on Thursdays, it still had to be moved from Mondays, there was no other option!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I don't understand why NBC has stopped believing in pulling shows.
    Are they afraid of the media backlash?

    ReplyDelete
  66. There as a rumor that Aquarius would get the post Voice slot after SofA ended, dunno if it was true or not.

    ReplyDelete
  67. It would have been worse with Empire on the way to be honest. It has been killing SVU since it started.

    ReplyDelete
  68. But I'm not against The Blacklist moving.
    I just don't think NBC was already to tackle Thursdays head-on.

    ReplyDelete
  69. It was a rumor based on the Ad Rates Survey. It also claimed the whispers was going to Wednesdays and stuff like that. Those are almost always myths.

    ReplyDelete
  70. What was the alternative?

    ReplyDelete
  71. Oh okay thx though

    ReplyDelete
  72. Wednesday. That's what all reasonable people said NBC actually should do with The Blacklist at the very first moment they announced their extremely stupid schedule back in May.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I agree, it is totally ridiculous. Besides, they can still air all the remaining episodes on Friday/Saturday/Sunday since they are airing reruns there all the time anyway. The fact that State of Affairs, Allegiance, A to Z, Bad Judge and Marry Me haven't been pulled is atrocious.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Wednesdays. Because at least on Wednesdays, they had some semblance of a cohesive night.


    They started Thursdays from scratch.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Despite it having football and SNL and the Voice, NBC is really doing badly

    ReplyDelete
  76. I think Wednesdays would have ended up being worse due to Empire although back then no one could have known that was going to be a factor.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Yep. If Blacklist is stable at ~1.7, then that should be decent for NBC. Now they need 2 other shows that can get decent ratings on Thursday.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Because Greenblatt's new idea is starting fresh and creating "all new" lineups. If something doesn't work, he airs it out and starts again.


    And I agree, it's killing their schedule. If the lead ins do poorly, it's crazy to expect the show after it to magically spike.

    ReplyDelete
  79. SofA premiered with a 2.2 after a much lower rated episode of The Voice.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Then, he will start fresh on another network altogehter.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Next year is his last stand. He's casting like his job depends on it. I think he feels more comfortable with cable scheduling where everything airs as planned regardless of ratings. That's fine, but that doesn't work in a broadcast model. Quick changes are sometimes needed.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Greenblatt makes Lee look like a genius now that's saying something

    ReplyDelete
  83. I think it would have been worse/ the same. I think two things went terribly wrong with all of this:
    - The Blacklist became a weaker show this year than it was last season and this happened back in the fall when it was still on Mondays falling the voice. I believe it would have done a better job on Thursdays if it was still as strong as last year. Not sure what NBC could have done to change this.
    - NBC made the wrong choices for the Thrursday shows to surround the blacklist with. I can sort of forget them on Allegiance since it is uncommong for a show to be such a huge bomb even with a decent and seemingly compatible lead-in, but The Slap should never have aired at 8pm. They should have gone out of their way to surround the show with a known quantity or something that at least had potential. SVU, The Apprentice, The Biggest Looser, something like that should have gone there. This thing I blame NBC on.

    So I don't think the move to Thursday per se was the problem.

    ReplyDelete
  84. After the Voice, it will probably skew a little younger, but I can't see it any higher than a 1.5

    ReplyDelete
  85. First, I was always suggesting 10 PM. Which would be jackpot with Stalker this week (I admit I didn't expected it).
    Second, no one could predict Empire would be the strongest drama in the last decade. Except you and your crystal ball, apparently.

    ReplyDelete
  86. They will still win the year, which is ridiculous.

    ReplyDelete
  87. I wrote that no one could have known that Empire was going to be a factor, the same way no one could have known Stalker was going to be a bomb. I think we both would have predicted those two shows to go the other way. I didn't suggest I knew back then what was going to happen, I am just speaking now with the information that we currently have.

    I understand your 10pm pick though. I think it is the only valid option there was other than the one they went with. It was a matter of how risky they wanted to be. You had a more conservative option that would leave Thursdays on fire for another year, sure, but it wouldn't have blown up on their face like this either.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Power of football and the voice

    ReplyDelete
  89. That's why I calculate numbers sans sports/awards shows/saturdays. To measure true strength of the networks.

    ReplyDelete
  90. How can you justify awful one Greenblatt 's decision (moving Blacklist to Thursday) with another bad Greenblatt 's decision (picking The Slap and Allegiance) ? His awful schedule is a whole, you can not pick the things from it as it fits to your points.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Someone mentioned over at IMDB that they saw a glimpse of Emily during the bachelor.

    ReplyDelete
  92. I am saying that The Blacklist would be doing better on Thursday if it had something competent airing alongside with it on the night. As it stands, it is basically airing in a sea of repeats. Which part of this doesn't sound true?

    ReplyDelete
  93. Good point about Empire, but no one could have known about how strong it would be. Had NBC put The Blacklist on Wednesdays in the fall, then at least it would just be facing Dead Band Society.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Why is Sleepy Hollow a loser when it's higher than last week?

    ReplyDelete
  95. Because it's ratings are still bad
    And HH don't go together with Demos; he is assuming TV had a impact

    ReplyDelete
  96. Because it's still weak and way down from last year.

    ReplyDelete
  97. It's Marc so who knows lol

    ReplyDelete
  98. CBS deserves to win.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Overall every FOX rating is bad, except for Empire and Gotham.

    ReplyDelete
  100. The part with Greenblatt not scheduling The Blacklist for the Wednesday the whole 8 months before anyone knew Empire is going to be a megahit. 8 months. It's easy for you to be Monday morning quarterback now,

    ReplyDelete
  101. Yes, but it wasn't a loser last week, why would be now when its HH rating is higher?

    ReplyDelete
  102. CBS is winning in my metric and will probably take the season as a whole. ABC is close but it would need a stupendous spring season and CBS to under-perform for it to close the gap. Those Taste-weeks really kill them.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Only Marc can answer, everyone elses comments will just be guesses. Why don't you ask him?

    ReplyDelete
  104. True but SH ratings are still low

    ReplyDelete
  105. I am not arguing that Wednesdays at 10pm wouldn't have been a better option when all is said and done. I am just saying that even on Thursdays, it would do better than it currently is doing if it had competent shows airing with it.

    ReplyDelete
  106. That would be crazy, the show is at horrible levels already in first season and they don't even own it. But sadly I also wouldn't put it past them, as crazy as it sounds.

    ReplyDelete
  107. True but it Has no New Hits does it? SoA failed, Allegiance failed all of its comedies are failing, the night shift does not look good

    ReplyDelete
  108. I hope odyssey or however you spell it does well on NBC ir looks so good!

    ReplyDelete
  109. Yes but they shouldn't make a pity renewal just because they have to. They will end up loosing money with it next year and it will be a liability wherever it is scheduled. A new show would at least have more upside.

    ReplyDelete
  110. They were bold, but extremely stupid.
    Because NBC now has no good scheduling solutions for the rest of this season, nor for the next season. Just bad solutions and even more bad solutions. They went all-in and with no Plan B... and lost badly.
    What is pathetic, is Greenblatt is not playing with his money, he's losing shareholeders' money.

    ReplyDelete
  111. That was somewhat to be expected for The Night Shift. Predictions for actual rating?

    ReplyDelete
  112. That is true!

    ReplyDelete
  113. OK then. Sorry,
    Maybe you're right, but I disagree. I think Thursday 9 PM is absolutely the worst timeslot NBC could give to the show.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Well, the good news is that you will get your wish at the end. The guy will certainly be fired unless he pulls a miracle next year, if he even lasts the summer (I am not sure when his contract is up, you know those things better than I do).

    ReplyDelete
  115. I agree with you that, as it is, Thursdays at 9pm is the worst timeslot for the show. But by definition, part of what makes a timeslot good or bad are the shows airing near it (especially the lead-in). So if you fix or at least improve the adjacent timeslots, you improve the timeslot. I think that with the configuration of The Slap-9pm-Allegiance, that 9pm timeslot is the worst for The Blacklist. Different shows surrounding it would change the dynamics of the timeslot and make it better for The Blacklist. So at the end we are not disagreeing on that, it's just semantics.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Greenblatt contract expires after season 2016-17.
    But if the next season would be disastrous as this one is (all rookies flopping, and all veterans weakened by unreasonable scheduling), he'll be fired after 2015-16.

    Unfortunately, not after this season already, because previous season was NBC had pretty good ratings (save for the comedies). Lucky punch.

    ReplyDelete
  117. I hope that it's true though

    ReplyDelete
  118. Oh, why did NBC move The Night Shift? Ugh! I really hope they give it another chance and move it back to summer where it belongs.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Kind of like TMOL > Revolution? Just kidding. New shows are a long-shot, but TMOL is a demo disaster. That said, the only place it could work if it's renewed Friday at 8/7. TMOL>Dateline>Grimm.

    ReplyDelete
  120. No. Again, the problem is not in Blacklist, and it's not Thursday. The problem is Greenblatt's awful schedule as a whole. After one year of moderate success, he boldly went for all of nothing. Which was extremely stupid (successes first needs to be solidified), and his plan predictably failed. Completely failed, with "completely" part not being so predictable.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Yes, we can blame them because it did perfectly fine in the summer, so it didn't need an upgrade, especially to arguably one of the most difficult timeslots of the week. Granted, that's all JMO, though.

    ReplyDelete
  122. I know HH isn't much to go on but it's awesome that Scorpion is so stable, especially with these breaks :)

    ReplyDelete
  123. Airing after the third highest rated show on broadcast television on the second most viewed day of the week against two aging procedurals is not one of the most difficult slots of the week, it is one of the easiest ones.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Another option is to move Odyssey to air after The Voice and shift TNS (pun intended) from Mondays to Sundays.

    ReplyDelete
  125. A lot is also going to ride on A.D. If it premieres well, then he's going to use it to hide a lot of his disappointments. So he has an out this year.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Household ratings do not count for advertisers, it is the demo that matters. Sleepy Hollow needed a big pickup there and they didn't get it. However FOX still has too many holes to fill and they probably will renew it. I am not surprised about their or Gotham's numbers. Even with the Voice as a terrific lead in The Night Shift was going to have problems going up against Castle and NCIS LA. if NBC didn't have some of their special programming they might be in last place and that is saying something considering how bad FOX is(Empire notwithstanding). NBC definitely needs to fix things, especially Mon at 10. CBS keeps on rolling and people keep watching the Bachelor

    ReplyDelete
  127. It did drop from a 7.7 to a 6.7 from last week, but I guess understandable given the return of The Voice big. It's had strong competition all year so it's definitely done well! I really enjoy the show, but the recent cycle of repeats, original, repeats, original is annoying :(

    ReplyDelete
  128. Friday 9 slot is waiting for SH.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Interesting to see what Fox will air at 9 on Mons next season, if Gotham stays where it is. Maybe Scream Queens, although they might not want to air it against The Voice

    ReplyDelete
  130. Minority Report is a very safe bet.

    ReplyDelete
  131. The Voice-3.7/4.2
    The Night Shift-1.5

    ReplyDelete
  132. We're just gonna have to agree to disagree about this, and that's okay. :)

    ReplyDelete
  133. The Bachelor 2.5/2.7
    Casrle 1.7

    ReplyDelete
  134. The Night Shift did absolutely terrible. I am sad for the show.

    ReplyDelete
  135. It's an ongoing problem for NBC. They take shows that work in some way, like Grimm, off the air for months on end. I get there are issues with how many times a show can be rerun do to syndication contracts, but I'm not suggesting running it 50 times.

    ReplyDelete
  136. It did worse than Ready For Love after The Voice. That's just tragic.

    ReplyDelete
  137. I think people thought it was a GA ripoff

    I personally found it generic

    ReplyDelete
  138. Winners: The Bachelor, Gotham, 2 Broke Girls, Mike and Molly, Scorpion, The Voice

    Still a huge winner but it's kind of worrying: The Voice

    Honorable Mention: Castle, NCIS Los Angeles

    Losers: Sleepy Hollow, The Night Shift





    It will go unnoticed but Gotham quietly did very well again last week even with the added competition from the voice. Castle is also rebounding nicely.

    ReplyDelete
  139. The Voice did good but down from a 4.7 last year

    ReplyDelete
  140. The Bachelor held very well despite The Voice being there.

    ReplyDelete
  141. YAY Los Angel hope it gets renewed. Sleepy is a toss so I don't know... prraying...

    NBC 0-13 for freshman shows since TNS and undateable are de facto freshmen.

    Gotham up again!

    ReplyDelete
  144. Farewell Parks and Rec24 February 2015 at 16:11

    Lol

    ReplyDelete
  145. Castle is losing a full point over it's lead-in (The Bachelor's final half-hour had it at a 2.8 and Castle did a 1.8 in its first half-hour)

    ReplyDelete
  146. Gotham up against The Voice? Nice! Disappointing for SH. Hopefully it adjusts up in the finals.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Just plain awful for The Night Shift. It's a bigger dud than SofA, and that's saying something.

    ReplyDelete
  148. Sleepy Hollow was even with last week as well, right? I was worried The Voice and Scorpion would cause it to crater. I'll take it!

    ReplyDelete
  149. Yeah but it was a finale so I am judging it a bit more harshly. In a regular episode with this increased competition I wouldn't put it as a loser.

    ReplyDelete
  150. The Voice had little to no impact last night

    ReplyDelete
  151. Damn I thought it got the same HH, I read the 7.6 from two weeks ago, saw the same digits this week and got it mixed up :P I hope it gets 2.0 or above though. I think CBS scheduled these breaks really badly, I thought they'd order extra episodes but when they didn't I think the better thing to do would be 2 originals, 2 repeats instead of random breaks.

    ReplyDelete
  152. Which means it will adjust down since there was an overrun. This is just terrible for The Night Shift.

    ReplyDelete
  153. I wonder if the bachelor could have affected the voice negatively. It seems strange to imagine there was no impact considering both go after the W18-34 audience.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Works for me! I so hope we get another season - especially after the events of the finale!

    ReplyDelete
  155. The CBS lineup is down from 8 to 10pm though.

    ReplyDelete
  156. While I know that the rotation from The Voice for The Night Shift is bad, I'm not really complaining because the ratings are steady from the summer.

    ReplyDelete
  157. True. Maybe the W18-34 audience that was already watching the Bachelor didn't move over to The Voice?

    ReplyDelete
  158. Was it The Bachelor finale last night? Terrible for TNS given the lead in. Great for Gotham to be so steady, and pleased Scorpion only dropped 0.1 considering it was up against big 9pm The Voice and Bachelor ratings

    ReplyDelete
  159. I was expecting ABC's The Bachelor to be the most affected but it still did well. Which is a surprise.

    ReplyDelete
  160. It's this the first time that a show after the Voice premiere below a 2?

    ReplyDelete
  161. That is a negative for the show. It should have at least got a series high after The Voice.

    ReplyDelete
  162. I think it'll go to Thursdays for a season or two before hitting Fridays.

    ReplyDelete
  163. Yeah The Voice definitely affected the CBS shows, but not too much in the 18-49

    ReplyDelete
  164. Yeah that seems possible!

    ReplyDelete
  165. No, it wasn't the finale.

    ReplyDelete
  166. Not only that into it's second season when only those who viewed it in the summer would even understand what was going on with the characters. Yeah, bad move for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  167. Ready For Love pulled a 1.5 after The Voice and was pulled the next week. The Night Shift isn't looking good at all.

    ReplyDelete
  168. That would also be ridiculous

    ReplyDelete
  169. So happy for Scorpion :) I dread to think what The Night Shift would look like without The Voice.

    ReplyDelete
  170. I don't think TNS will be pulled, given how NBC hasn't been willing to pull anything.
    Regardless, TNS was *way* below my expectations.

    ReplyDelete
  171. Yes but both comedies had 2.2 last week so not a big dip
    Last week 9-10 was a special

    ReplyDelete
  172. The Night Shift should have stayed in the summer.

    ReplyDelete
  173. I know. I'm just trying to be somewhat positive.

    ReplyDelete
  174. I want oddysey to be on now!

    ReplyDelete
  175. Barely, tho.

    ReplyDelete
  176. Castle and The Bachelor were never compatible, there´s nothing new here:)
    Actually, even if Castle adjusts down it did better than I expected, tbh...

    ReplyDelete
  177. Excellent for SCORPION. Not so much for Sleepy Hollow. :(

    ReplyDelete
  178. Yay for Gotham inching up!

    ReplyDelete
  179. So NBC has now basically ruined The Night Shift, although I know they had the right intentions!

    ReplyDelete
  180. Marc wrong in his 'predictions' with BOTH Gotham and Sleepy Hollow, DOUBLE BURN!

    ReplyDelete
  181. I wonder how The Following will do next week? I'm thinking a 1.8 for the prem. Scorpion is a repeat ..... for a change .... :(

    ReplyDelete
  182. Castle and The Bachelor might have never been compatible but I'd expect it to be benefitting a little more from the huge lead-in.

  184. At least CBS must be happy the breaks aren't causing any big dips in ratings for Scorpion.

    ReplyDelete
  185. Surprised how well Gotham and Scorpion stood up to The Voice. #proud ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  186. Looks like the adult comic fans switch off after Gotham.....Sleepy doesnt retain that particular crowd..

    ReplyDelete
  187. Oh, poor NBC.

    I really hope The Voice doesn't ruin Fresh Off the Boat

    ReplyDelete
  188. True, but it can't be helping either. I don't know if it's best to do what cbs are doing which is aring 1 original after 1 or 2 weeks of repeats for the rest of the season, or maybe they should have had a month or so break so they could air more originals in a row?

    ReplyDelete
  189. Does Fox have anything next season on their pilot slate compatible with Gotham and it's demographic to air at 9?

    ReplyDelete
  190. Lucifer perhaps?

    ReplyDelete
  191. You can see all pilots here

    http://www.spoilertv.com/2014/06/2015-full-spoilertv-pilot-watch.html



    My guess if it's ordered might be Minority Report.

    ReplyDelete
  192. I never expected that, because not being compatible viewers watching T.B. just leave ABC after it, either turning of the tv or just going watch something else (for example, Better call Saul in cable is a big competition)...
