Sunday 3/15/15 Metered Markets
Clean Sweep for CBS
Household
Rating/Share
CBS 6.7/11
ABC 3.5/ 6
NBC 2.9/ 5
Fox 2.1/ 4
-Percent Change from the Year-Ago Oscar Evening – Sunday 3/16/14:
CBS: + 3, Fox: -22, ABC and NBC: -29 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.
-Solid in Total Viewers, but Older Skewing:
“60 Minutes” (CBS), “Madam Secretary” (CBS), “The Good Wife” (CBS)
-Disappointing:
“Secrets & Lies” (ABC)
-Losers (excluding repeats):
“Revenge” (ABC), “Battle Creek” (CBS)
———-
Ratings Breakdown:
It was no contest in the Sunday overnights with CBS besting distant No. 2 ABC by 91 percent in households. The Eye net opened with granddaddy “60 Minutes” at an 8.1 rating/15 share from 7-8 p.m., which was the top-rated show of the evening. And it led into “”Madam Secretary” (#1: 7.7/12), “The Good Wife” (#1: 6.4/10) and episode three of failing “Battle Creek” (#1: 4.6/ 8) from 8-11 p.m., which was consistent from one week earlier but down significantly from year-ago occupant “The Mentalist.” Comparably, overnight retention for “Battle Creek” out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of “The Good Wife” (6.4/10) was 72 percent. Three week overnight track for “Battle Creek”: 4.8/ 8 – 4.4/ 8 – 4.5/ 8.
While CBS will resonate in total viewers from 7-10 p.m., the ongoing obstacle is the lack of interest in the younger demographics.
In week three news on ABC, drama “Secrets & Lies” built by a minor three percent from lead-in “Once Upon a Time” (#2: 3.6/ 6 at 8 p.m.) with a 3.7/ 6 (#2) at 9 p.m. But the similar overnight performance last week translated into a 2.1 rating/7 share in adults 18-49 for ”Once Upon a Time” versus a 1.4/ 4 for “Secrets & Lies.” And episode two of year-ago Sunday 9 p.m. occupant “Resurrection” (which ultimately fizzled this season) was considerably stronger at a 7.0/10 in the overnights. While not a bust, “Secrets & Lies,” to-date, remains a disappointment. Three week overnight track for “Secrets & Lies”: 4.0/ 6 – 4.0/ 6 – 3.7/ 6.
Airing out of “Secrets & Lies” was tired “Revenge” at a 3.2/ 5 in the overnights at 10 p.m., which was 24 percent below the 4.2/ 7 one year earlier. It is time for the axe to officially swing on “Revenge.”
Earlier in the evening on the alphabet net was veteran “America’s Funniest Home Videos” at a second-place 2.5/ 6 at 7 p.m., which should be enough to beat competing “60 Minutes” in the key young adult demos.
On Fox, week three (and episode four) of live action comedy “The Last Man on Earth” dipped by one-tenth of a rating point (or four percent) from one week earlier with a 2.6/ 4 (#4) at 9:30 p.m. (out of a 2.5/ 4 for “Family Guy”). And the 2.7/ 4 in the overnights last week translated into a 1.9/ 5 in adults 18-49 (out of a 2.1/ 6 for “Family Guy”), so the jury is still out. If “The Last Man on Earth” can level off now, Fox may still have something.
Earlier in the evening on Fox was a repeat of “The Simpsons” (#4: 1.7/ 3), “Bob’s Burgers” (#4: 1.5/ 3), the original installment of “The Simpsons” (#4: 2.4/ 4) and sophomore “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” (#4) from 7-9 p.m., which were all close to week-ago levels.
NBC capped off this third Sunday in March with another two-hour encore airing of “The Voice” (2.4/ 4 from 7-9 p.m.), followed by two-hours of “Dateline” at a 3.3/ 5 from 9-11 p. m., which was 37 percent above the 3.3/ 5 one week earlier.

The first item that gets posted (normally around 2pm GMT) is the early overnight analysis based on the early household numbers (these are not the same as the Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers that are posted later).
Next, if available, we will post the Top 25 Market 18-49 Ratings to give you a rough idea of the ratings to following.
Later on (normally between 4pm-5pm GMT) we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above (We also where possible now post the 18-34 and 25-54 Demo Numbers).
Finally, later in the evening (10pm-11pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the Ratings Database.

Hopefully OUAT stays above a 2
ReplyDeleteWait, S&L beat OUAT?
ReplyDeleteNo. Just in households which aren't relevant at all.
ReplyDeleteHope ABC did well across the board.
ReplyDelete3.2 in hh is not so bad for revenge
ReplyDeleteS&L had a bigger HH than Once? Wow! Once slipped again!
ReplyDeleteI hope they stay around the 2,0s
I love how Marc seems to find a way to put MS and GW not in the loser category
ReplyDeletedunno even if it did it's fine because it's still in top 5 :)
ReplyDeleteSecrets and Lies is holding on pretty much OK. And Revenge may have done the same or a bit better.
ReplyDeleteIt's getting me to wonder what ABC will do; if Secrets and Lies keeps holding on, and see potential for it, maybe they'll give it another go next season?
yes me too. Good that it's still in top 5 thou. Not worried now.
ReplyDeleteIt's a possibility, but again as a mid-season replacement.
ReplyDeleteI think S&L would better work as a summer show.
ReplyDeleteyes please. & OUAT slipped but it's still in top 5 not worried.
ReplyDeleteI would love for Secrets and Lies to be renewed but I think it really needs to maintain the exceptional hold it had last week throughout pretty much the entire run as the numbers are still low, unfortunately. My pet idea would be to bring it back and use it as part of a TGIT-bridge lineup next season. It short season format would be rather adequate for that. But like I said, I think it is a long shot that it holds well enough for that.
ReplyDeleteThose are simply the programs that aired at 8pm. Since no numbers are out yet, there is no meaning to what shows up there.
ReplyDelete1.8 in Top 25.
ReplyDeleteLooking at this season's ratings, CBS has FIVE dramas that rank in the 60s in main demo: Blue Bloods, Elementary, The Good Wife, CSI, and Hawaii 5-0—not to mention The Mentalist.
ReplyDeleteSo, wouldn't that mean that at least CSI and one of TGW/H50 (whichever has the worst syndication deal, which I believe is the latter) will have to be cancelled with Elementary taking up a spot?
What? That's terrible! Huge drop incoming then :/
ReplyDeleteHow was the rest of ABC by the way?
ReplyDeleteLol, I know. He has a gift.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean, in the 60s?
ReplyDeleteand even if it slips more next week we are safe. I've learmed the lesson now so no worries if it slips more
ReplyDeleteI think it is straight up ignorance at this point, but well.
ReplyDeleteWell said ;)
ReplyDeleteRevenge should probably be at a 1.2-1.3 I'm guessing
ReplyDeleteWrote that so fast, sorry. I meant that compared to other shows, they are pretty far down the list in ratings.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping, but then again Marc said that it's time for it to get the axe. So it must be below that
ReplyDeleteI'm not worried about OUAT :) Even with a 1.8 it will be renewed for sure, because it's still the fourth strongest ABC drama this year :)
ReplyDeletedo you have the rest of abc
ReplyDeleteUr sweet. I understand Ur fear, I was the same before I got to understand what happens during the ratings game.
ReplyDeleteBut still HH doesn't mean much for a young skewing show like Once.
Numbers will appear in the table shortly.
ReplyDeleteTop 25 Markets 18-49 Demo Ratings have been posted
ReplyDeleteNah I think 1.2-1.3 is still axing line, sorry. Especially since Nashville is a lock for another season and SHIELD has the Marvel brand.
ReplyDeleteHouseholds lol.
ReplyDeleteDis he do it to Harry's Law?
Ah, I get it now.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, my opinion on CBS is that CSI is definitely not coming back to their fall schedule (could potentially show up at midseason but I am not particularly leaning that way, but hard to tell there). Obviously, Stalker and Battle Creek are dead to. I am strongly leaning to TAR being removed from the fall schedule too (either midseason duty or summer after Big Brother). So that opens up two slots to launch new dramas, with POI and Elementary shipped off to weekend nights without needing to cancel H50. I think H50 only becomes in danger if Cyber keeps its numbers (which are already low end bubble without Chicago PD showing up on the slot) and if CBS wants to launch 3 new dramas on the fall schedule. I think the later is likely to happen, the former not so much, so I tend to think H50 is okay for a fall slot. Not safe, but I say it is looking better than 50% odds right now.
thanks we dunno if it didn't get 2.1 maybe it did. Or it can be adjusted up. Renewal would come even with 1.4, right? Just remind me please.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the Disney brand.
ReplyDeleteWow, nothing above a 2.0 in the Top 25 markets. Sad for OUAT but we all know it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Decent for S&L and Revenge may actually get a final season. (That's if there's not a lot of changes from the Top 25 to the actual demos).
ReplyDeleteYes it would still be renewed with those numbers given its ability to spike and all that, but I sincerely doubt we see OUAT hitting those type of numbers this season.
ReplyDeleteTop 25 are horrible
ReplyDeleteminus Empire, this past week has been terrible for all the networks
the only exception to that game was perception T-T NP.
ReplyDeleteeven it slips to 1.4 next eps would be ok for Once to get a renewal?
Guesses based exclusively on Top25 markets:
ReplyDelete- Once Upon a Time: 1.7-1.8 (Ouch :/)
- Secrets and Lies: 1.3
- Revenge: 1.0-1.1
- Madam Secretary: 1.1-1.2
- The Good Wife: 1.0-1.1
- Battle Creek: 0.9-1.0
- The Simpsons: 1.6
- Brooklyn Nine-Nine: 1.5
- Family Guy: 1.8-1.9
- The Last Man on Earth: 1.4-1.5 (Ouch at the drop!)
- Dateline: 1.10
Thank god revenge held
ReplyDeleteit seems as Day Light Saving is hitting the networks hard
ReplyDeleteI know OUAT will get renewed, but it would be better if it was above 2.0. Hopefully, it will rise next week.
ReplyDeletebtw searched for you on twitter /tumblr but haven't found you.
ReplyDeleteThe Voice, The Big Bang Theory, Mom, Chicago Fire, NCIS Los Angeles, Criminal Minds all did very well last week too.
ReplyDeleteHoping OUAT rebounds into the 2s next week
ReplyDeleteSeason 5 is a sure thing no matter what.
ReplyDelete6 season can come in your opinion too?
ReplyDeleteReally? My Twitter account is Spindae2 but I only post from my blog on that account. SchTeTa is my real account but I tweet on Serbian so you wouldn't understand a word. ^_^
ReplyDeleteBased on top 25, FOX comedies did great yesterday! LMOE better not drop any more in order to get renewed. OUAT took a drop while S&L and Revenge look decent. Still terrible for CBS dramas.
ReplyDeleteOUAT :(
ReplyDeleteIs probably because people were sick of staying in their homes due to a rigorous winter?
ReplyDeleteoh ok too bad... but thx.
ReplyDeletewho knows but it seems the networks took a bit of hit
ReplyDeleteHOPE to get s6 too bc need a full end at any cost
ReplyDeleteToday's my birthday omg all im hoping for is ouat to adjust up
ReplyDeleteOne week from today it will also be my birthday! YAY.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!
ReplyDeleteFor a veteran show that all it needs is like 11 episodes to get 100 episodes that's okay
ReplyDeleteCBS really needs to rethink MS - it was renewed way to early. Does CBS really want to carry both MS and TGW (final season) and bring down the entire Sunday line-up? MS will never make it to four seasons and it certainly does not have the acclaim of TGW. CBS should cut their losses. MS is definitely not helping TGW at all. Moreover, MS has made the DVR list I think twice all season so its not like people are seeking it out, which only reduces potential for growth.
ReplyDeleteOUAT😔
ReplyDeleteI hope there is a magic difference from usual top25 behavior but not holding my breath here. A 2.0 seems impossible. Maybe a 1.9 after adjustments and all? :/
ReplyDeleteWe will see.
ReplyDeleteMe too! It's sad to see OUAT fall below a 2.0
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday~!
ReplyDeleteOUAT: 1.8
ReplyDeleteS&L: 1.3
Revenge: 1.1
MS: 1.2
ReplyDeleteTGW: 1.0
BC: 0.8
Simpsons: 1.5
ReplyDeleteB99: 1.4
FG: 1.7
LME: 1.5
Are we all of the mindset that Elementary and POI have no ability to find or grow an audience once they go on Hulu this summer? I'm thinking of shows that limped to syndication and then later became a hit. CBS got an insane deal for Elementary. Might they keep E and POI in viable slots one more year?
ReplyDeleteBattle Creek actually grows across its half-hour: 0.8/0.9
ReplyDeleteHopefully ONCE goes back to the 2s
ReplyDeletehey, its still#1 for the night
Winners (kind of): Once Upon a Time
ReplyDeleteHonorable Mention: The Simpsons, Family Guy,
Losers: The Good Wife, Battle Creek, Dateline
This is not a good drop for The Last Man on Earth. I know Family Guy fell a lot too but it is getting into marginal territory now. It has to hope for a hell of a recovery once TWD leaves the airwaves.
And ABC won the night.
ReplyDeleteCould've been worse, I suppose.
CBS I'm begging you to unRenew MS - a 1.2 and even 60M had a 1.4. This is pathetic. How can they anchor the line-up with this flop? Seriously. And to keep it going for 3+ seasons?
ReplyDeleteStill good for OUAT. No series low ( because its series low is 1.7 ) and it won the night. Every show is falling at this point.
ReplyDeleteHalf-hours:
ReplyDeleteOUAT: 1.8/1.7
S&L: 1.4/1.2
Revenge: 1.2/1.0
MS: 1.2/1.1
TGW: 1.0/0.9
I can't think of an example in which that has happened with a procedural. Certainly with comedies, but when was the last time it did with a drama?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have my reservations with both shows. POI is now a full fledged serialized show (not the last couple of episodes actually, but the rest of the season) so I don't see binge watching having a major effect short term. As for Elementary, other than Scorpion this year, I don't remember what was the last drama that enjoyed as much CBS support as that one had (including endless promos and a post Super Bowl slot) in its freshman run, so if it didn't happen back then, I don't see it happening now too.
revenge might sneak out that 5th season
ReplyDeleteDoubtful.
ReplyDeleteI really wish ABC did better for all those shows.
ReplyDeleteReally hope S&L doesn't fall anymore.
ReplyDeleteNoooooo LMOE
ReplyDeleteThank god OUAT kept that 1.8, here's to hoping that it will hit 2s next week
ReplyDeleteIts post premiere hold has actually been pretty solid. The problem is that it started with such a low level to begin with, that is what is dooming it.
ReplyDelete1.1, it's a SMASH HIT !
ReplyDeleteI have stopped caring for Revenge (though I still love the first season), and S&L was never it for me so... I just wish OUAT could've had another Wiz-like arc that kept the ratings at a steady 2.4.
ReplyDeleteBring back Zelena.
Yep. And I think the ratings will continue to trend down. Creative show but niche. Like Kimmy Schmidt.
ReplyDeleteIKR. OUAT is the kind of show that should be getting 3.0's every week. Its that good of a show. S&L and Revenge are also pretty good right now.
ReplyDeleteDidn't u stop watching revenge?
ReplyDeleteI'm just watching S&L because the main character is hot. LOL
ReplyDeleteWhich is why I said 'I stopped caring for Revenge'
ReplyDeleteI know we all complain about ABC waiting until May to do renewals, but the Madam Secretary situation makes me feel like they are taking the wiser course in trying to get as much information as they can before making a decision.
ReplyDeleteHe's hot but he's not able to hold my interest.
ReplyDeleteSo unless he goes full-out naked, I can't give a damn.
Next weeks promo for revenge looks exciting! I think that it will rise next week especially since the promo is longer and better
ReplyDeleteMakes sense
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying this arc as much as Oz honestly. I am obsessed with OUAT right now lol.
ReplyDeleteOuch Once below a 2.0& low in Viewrs.Is that a new low in Viewrs?
ReplyDeleteWith Secrets and Lies, assuming it stays at around the 1.3 it earned this week, it'll probably be brought back as a bridge show. It's doing well enough that with sustained promotion it could be utilized in that role.
ReplyDeleteI hope they can keep LMOE if they can keep New Girl and Mindy.
ReplyDeleteI honestly think the show is at its best when focusing on the two strongest characters (and, quite frankly, actors) they have on that cast: Regina and Rumple.
ReplyDeleteI mean, Im all for Maleficent and the actress (Kristin Van something), but watching Lana Parrilla and Rebecca Mader go all-out on each other was just... delightful.
Noooooo LMOE
ReplyDeleteNo, its series low in viewers is 5.69 and in ratings is 1.7.
ReplyDeleteI get your point but I adore Maleficient. I've had a soft spot for her ever since the the second episode of Season 1 when she first appeared and I was always sad that they hadn't explored her any further. And adding Cruela to that is just wonderful as I love her too (don't care about Ursula, I think she is a bit miscast). I also like how they are connecting with central early concepts of the show like the book and the author and the origins of the dark curse. Makes the show feel more cohesive again and the flashbacks do seem to have a point too, which was at times OUAT's biggest problem to me.
ReplyDeleteLast Man On Earth really is too niche, even for FOX. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see it return.
ReplyDeleteI think we need to see what happens to LMOE when The Walking Dead leaves. It has a predominantly male audience that is presumably busy with The Walking Dead at the time. This is further supported by the fact that the show has huge spikes DVR audience even jumping ahead of Family Guy. Presumably, those are guys who want to watch it but relegate it to second choice due to the walking dead. Game of Thrones isn't an easy adversary too but it is certainly easier as it is much lower rated and I think skews less male (assuming here, no proof)
ReplyDeleteI love Maleficent too (she has always been my favorite Disney villain. Has Disney ever done a better villain than her - looks-wise and stuff on the animated movies?) but the show portrays her as quite feeble. She is rumored to be extremely powerful but we never see her do any impressive feat. Regina and Rumple? Sure. We've seen them do very impressive feats.
ReplyDeleteBut Maleficent? Not really. Sure, maybe it's because she hasn't had even 1/14 of their screen time but she just doesn't sound as menacing as the self-proclaimed Mistress of All Evil.
Cruella is a delight. And, yes, Ursula is just the odd piece out. She has nothing to do.
What's the half hours for the actual millions of viewers for OUAT?
ReplyDeleteS Glad revenge stayed the same
ReplyDeleteE has received a lot of network support, but they own it. I just wondered if 3 mil an ep and streaming (combined with its really decent L+3, assuming a good C3) might warrant one more season in a decent slot considering all the problems CBS has right now with its dramas. E is barely below its average against stiffer competition than most of its dramas face.
ReplyDeleteI knew LMOE would continue to drop and drop.
ReplyDeleteHmm... I get where you are coming from in terms of we never actually seeing Maleficient going all out but that has never bothered me before. I guess you could say I am partial with her and not really objective lol. You would be right.
ReplyDeleteGood night for FOX, OUAT did fine, but The Good Wife? Being beaten by almost everything it was up against. CBS is really struggling now on Sundays. The 10 o clock hour is also not good. Revenge may be winning the demo but a 1.1 will not be good enough to save it
ReplyDeleteC3 don't differ much from the originals. And there aren't any jumps like in L+3.

Damn Once.. why so low? I know it won the night but it deserves so much more..
ReplyDeleteSundays are really the new Fridays. The top show scores a 1.8.
ReplyDeleteGlad that at least OUAT didn't score a series low, but sad to see it below 2s.
Revenge is hanging in there. A final season of 11 episodes airing during winter seems like a possibility
Game of Thrones will likely rate in the 4's this year, if it keeps growing like it has.
ReplyDeleteI contest the idea that Elementary has a lot of competition. It had to go up against How to Get Away with Murder only 8 times the entire season. Sure, those weren't easy confrontations but it has had the slot for itself the rest of the time and those 8 times account for only about 1/3 of its season. That really isn't that much. Other than that, it's been a non existent hour on NBC the entire year (first Parenthood and now the almost unbelievably bad Allegiance/Slap debacles) and now recent flop American Crime on ABC.
ReplyDeleteI mean, I expected Maleficent to have an easier time even against a Balrog (?). But all she did was throw a couple of blasts at it and then she got cornered.
ReplyDeleteSorry. That's not what I was expecting from the Mistress of All Evil.
It's "low" ( but still high for ABC standards ), only due to spring.
ReplyDeleteI know that in theory, but late last year C3 data was posted (not the actual numbers, but growth) on a media blog and it said one of the reasons Moonves has been bullish on Elementary is because it was growing by three to four tenths in C3 while most were doing .1 or staying flat.
ReplyDeleteIt got a 1.2 in the first hour, so I hope that it adjusts up
ReplyDeleteAgain, adjustments aren't determined by half-hours.
ReplyDeleteUnless revenge adjusts up
ReplyDeleteI agree but that is still almost half of what the Walking Dead has been averaging this season (7.37). So much lower rated applies lol.
ReplyDeleteCrazy, I know.
Usually in revenges case they are
ReplyDeleteScandal for two years has inhibited growth at least to some small degree. Look at the drops after that show really took off.
ReplyDeleteTrue but it's not fair to compare any show to TWD.
ReplyDeleteFair enough. I was speaking to this season only.
ReplyDeleteElementary has had even more chances to take off than Scandal did.
ReplyDeleteIt's not going up.
Well it is not about being fair, it is just about stating that the competition to LMOE will reduce substantially, which is the case when TWD is replaced by GOT (I know they aren't on the same network so "replaced" feels strange but in practice I think it is what happens).
ReplyDeleteThe second half hour is a 1.0, so based only on the half hours it should stay the same.
ReplyDeleteStill, that doesn't mean it won't adjust up. I certainly hope so, it would be a win for the show
S&L is definitely helping it, I'd say.
ReplyDeleteYep, the high compatibility between the two shows is certainly having a positive effect on Revenge. Proof that ABC should have tried out after Scandal during last season while Resurrection should have launched another show
ReplyDeleteScandal is/was a buzz show. I'm not really out to argue promotion, just that it was tough competition.
ReplyDeleteLaunching two new shows back to back on Sunday last Spring would have been a mistake though.
ReplyDeleteA www so cool
ReplyDeleteThank you so much
ReplyDeleteConsidering the highly promoted Resurrection had a 3.8 it would have been perfect to launch another show, it would have probably done more than Revenge's 1.9
ReplyDeleteSure, nobody could have known that Resurrection would have done as big as it did, but pretty much all bets were on mid 2s, which would have still been a decent number for a lead in
Thank you so much I appreciate this
ReplyDeleteRevenge rarely adjusts down. So I think it will either stay the same or adjust up
ReplyDeleteI did suggest, some time ago, that ABC should air Revenge out of Scandal a few times but I don't think it was a decent idea last year to move Revenge. I like that they've taken their time in moving Scandal (even if just one hour up). Let the show settle before moving it.
ReplyDeleteI don't think all bets were as high as that. I know mine wasn't at least lol. I don't know. I think it's easy to think so now but back then it was already hard to be very positive about Resurrection and it was considered hard to launch a new show on Sunday. To do it with two new shows back to back would have been too much I think. Doesn't really matter now though
ReplyDeleteOUAT :( I hope it doesn't get a series low this season. Still the top show of the night though which is kinda sad for everything else.
ReplyDeleteBack when ABC announced that Revenge was sliding back to 10PM at first I was pissed, because I thought the best bet for the show was this:
ReplyDeleteThursdays:
Grey's
Scandal
Revenge
That didn't happen, and I took the fact that it wouldn't face TWD, GoT and all the cable competition as a consolation to that.
I honestly thought that Resurrection would do at least 2s considering it was even promoted during movies over the winter, so I didn't really doubt its ability to premiere as a good lead in. And if ABC didn't want to risk it they could have moved Nashville there; it is doing ok-ish on Wednesday, but now it is wasting a slot that could perfectly launch a new freshman.
I honestly believe that ABC should have taken more of a risk, but maybe they had it with risks considering that they had already revamped their entire Tuesday lineup.
There's no telling on how things would've work out. For all we know, Revenge may have pulled an American Crime out of Scandal - as unlikely as it sounds -, but I always thought that with the right tweaking Revenge would still work around well with the ratings and ABC may have been able to make better launchs for some other shows
ouch TGW...
ReplyDeleteBattle Creek very dead..
Must be the sad state of broadcast on Sunday when 1.8 is the highest rated broadcast show. Sundays are becoming like Fridays.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! OUAT won the night!
ReplyDeleteSecrets and Lies is a Sunday show.
ReplyDeleteHopefully...
ReplyDeleteWe all knew it was on DOA.
ReplyDeletePeople who watched The Walking Dead live, did iZombie air the Working Dead Trailer?
ReplyDeleteThey better hope they do. Revenge should be doing much better because, at least to me their competition is weak. I guess considering everything else went down its a victory that they stayed the same
ReplyDelete1.8 sucks still safe but sucks and it even got on 6th place in programming like last year
ReplyDeleteyep though I wonder if TGW is in danger
ReplyDeleteNext season will more than likely be the final season for The Good Wife.
ReplyDeleteOMG THATS AMAZING NEWS BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER
ReplyDeleteAw.... Battle Creek :(
ReplyDeleteI don't know which trailer was aired but they did air one.
