———-

Note: The following labels are based on the household overnights and are subject to change given the availability of other pending data streams. These overnights are your first look at the ratings and a precursor to what could lie ahead. And we take into account additional benchmarks including the expected Live + Same Day demographic ratings, potential DVR usage, the critical acclaim (or lack of) and the social media presence.

“The Big Bang Theory” (CBS), “The Odd Couple” (CBS), “Grey’s Anatomy” (ABC), “Scandal” (ABC), “The Blacklist” (NBC)

-Honorable Mention:
“Mom” (CBS)

-Respectable Sampling:
“American Crime” (ABC)

-Losers (excluding repeats):
“The Slap” (NBC), “Backstrom” (Fox), “Allegiance” (NBC)

Ratings Breakdown:
CBS inched past ABC for Thursday overnight dominance with a two-tenth of a rating point (or three percent) advantage. Particularly positive on the Eye net was household growth of seven percent week-to-week for episode three of the revival of “The Odd Couple,” which led the 8:30 p.m. half-hour at a 7.6 rating/12 share. Comparably, this was also seven percent above year-ago occupant “The Millers” (7.1/11 on 3/06/14). And the retention for “The Odd Couple” out of lead-in “The Big Bang Theory” (#1: 11.1/17 at 8 p.m.) was 68 percent, which was two percent above the 66 percent last week. In other words, Matthew Perry’s post-“Friends” losing streak (think “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,” “Mr. Sunshine” and “Go On”) could be over (if, of course, “The Odd Couple” remains out of “The Big Bang Theory”).

Three-week household overnight track for “The Odd Couple”: 8.1/13 – 7.1/11 – 7.6/12).

Next on CBS was an encore telecast of “The Big Bang Theory” at 9 p.m. (#2: 6.3/10), followed by relocated “Mom” (#2: 5.7/ 9 at 9:30 p.m.), featuring the riotous return of Octavia Spencer, and three-year old drama “Elementary” (#2: 4.9/ 9), which is a shoo-in to return next season because of its lucrative off-network deal. This has never been what you would refer to as a hit series.

In series-premiere news, “American Crime” opened on ABC with a first-place 6.1/11 in the household overnights from 10-11 p.m. Comparably, this was just eight percent below the 6.6/12 for the season-finale of former time period occupant “How I Met Your Mother” last week. This was equal to year-ago occupant “Scandal.” And the retention for “American Crime” out of lead-in “Scandal” (#1: 7.4/12 from 9-10 p.m.) was very acceptable at 82 percent. While most shows do drop from 10 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. due to the decreased HUT levels, erosion of 12 percent for “American Crime” by half-hour (6.5/11 to 5.7/10) is the only initial overnight observation that might be a concern. Let’s see what the demos look like.

Earlier in the evening on ABC was veteran “Grey’s Anatomy” at a 6.5/10 from 8-9 p.m., which was seven percent above the 6.1/11 one week earlier and almost triple the overnight performance for failed year-ago occupant “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland” (2.2/ 4 on 3/6/14).

Elsewhere, heavily DVR dependent “The Blacklist” on NBC grew by six percent week to week, with a third-place 5.5/ 9 from 9-10 p.m. Comparably, that was 104 percent above recent lead-in entry “The Slap” (#4: 2.7/ 4 at 8 p.m.). But week five of lead-out drama “Allegiance” slipped to a series-low 2.2/ 4 at 10 p.m., which only increases the rapidly ticking cancellation clock.

On Fox, there was more minor overnight growth for recently introduced Rainn Wilson drama “Backstrom” (#4: 2.9/ 5 at 9 p.m.: + 7 percent from one week earlier). But retention out of the 8:30 p.m. portion of lead-in “American Idol” (6.8/10) was still lacking at 43 percent. And this was not much better than the 2.4/ 4 for failed drama “Rake” one year earlier. Overall, “American Idol” scored a 6.6/10 from 8-9 p.m., which was on par from the year-ago evening.

The CW closed this first Thursday in March with a 0.5/ 1 each (#5) for encore telecasts of “The Vampire Diaries” and “Supernatural.”

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.

  1. Yes for The Odd Couple rising.It looks like Matthew Perry wont have another season 1 sitcom get cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  2. Great for GA and Scandal

    ReplyDelete
  3. Doesn't look shabby at all for GA and Scandal.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Great for ABC as usual.American Crime started decent but worried for that big fall in HH in second half hour.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Looks good for American Crime but I always expected it to premiere well due to the amazing timeslot it has and the amount of promotion it got. Holding in future weeks is a different matter.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Didnt know HIMYM show at 10 on abc last week?

    ReplyDelete
  7. OK for American Crime but the half drop isn't surprising at all. I wrote it yesterday, this show is way too slow paced for ABC viewers to continue with. I like that they took a chance, but it doesn't fit on its TGIT lineup.

    ReplyDelete
  8. The Blacklist rises again hoping for a 2.0

    ReplyDelete
  9. Lol it wasn't, of course. It was How to Get Away with Murder.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Secrets and Lies was a better fit.

    ReplyDelete
  11. It says How i met your mother instead of HTGAWM...

    ReplyDelete
  12. I'm guessing American crime got like a 2.5

    ReplyDelete
  13. I have long felt that the only place on the entire network that was remotely suitable for the drama was Wednesdays at 10pm though I understand why it ended up here (there was no other place to Nashville and if this wasn't on Thursdays Secrets and Lies would be, which would leave a big hole on Sunday)

    ReplyDelete
  14. I agree with that. Though Secrets and Lies isn't exactly tremendously fast paced either, even though I really like it.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I enjoyed American Crime but it's not a show that fits well on broacast

    ReplyDelete
  16. I agree. Seeing both, ABC should have stuck with their original intention as Secrets and Lies is a much better fit.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Secrets and Lies or American Crime?

    ReplyDelete
  18. I think the problem was that American Crime would fit even worse on Sundays. It has literally nothing to do with Once or Revenge.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Lets put it this way, AC has to many old-ish people for an ABC post Scnadal show. ^_^

    ReplyDelete
  20. Really? I liked it very much. But I like those kind of shows. I thought it was very well acted and that it had cool twists and turns and kept me intrigued the whole time. Some of them were fairly cliche, but still very entertaining.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm guessing that it skewed older than Scandal. since it's very politically/racially charged, and that skews old We are probably looking at 2.2 to 2.4 territory.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Odd couple is lucky...its because of tbbt lead in

    ReplyDelete
  23. LOL at Mark saying How I Met Your Mother instead of How to get Away with Murder xD.
    American Crime did well, and I'm actually surprised by The Odd Couple raise.
    Also, The Blacklist is holding on OK

    ReplyDelete
  24. Scandal is very young-skewing so some young viewers might have watched it.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Agreed,Secrets and Lies were also skewing old dropping 1 million and 7 tenths from OUAT.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Marc's having late HIYM withdrawal symptoms.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Farewell Parks and Rec6 March 2015 at 14:30

    Great for American Crime. High 2s?

    Lol, people really like the odd couple smh

    ReplyDelete
  28. So another 1.9 for Backstrom? It has a two week break now so that's no way going to help it.

    ReplyDelete
  29. People should remember that The Millers rose 0.2 from episode 2 to episode 3. We all know how that turned out. I am not saying this isn't a positive for The Odd Couple, it could very well be, but it may also be insignificant in the long run. I don't honestly know how to judge the show, it is so hard with the big bang lead-in.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Perhaps, but I'm guessing those are the ones who dropped at the half. Younger viewers aren't going to get into the topics which this show touched on.

    ReplyDelete
  31. The Millers also rose from episode 2 to episode 3.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I didn't like the male lead at all and the female detective was annoying and off-putting.


    Also, not enough KaDee Stickland (the wife).

    ReplyDelete
  33. I thought Ryan was very good and captivating. He made his character very relatable imo. But if you didn't enjoy his performance then I understand why you wouldn't enjoy the show since he was such a huge part of it. The female detective was supposed to be off-putting I believe.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Does anyone know if Geena Davis arc on GA is finished b/c I have enjoyed it a lot

    ReplyDelete
  35. HTGWM got a 2.9 last week and it says that it's just 8 percent below that which I'm guessing is around a 2.5 to 2.7

    ReplyDelete
  36. "Comparably, this was just eight percent below the 6.6/12 for the
    season-finale of former time period occupant “How I Met Your Mother”
    last week"


    Why doesn't TVMediaInsights edit their articles before print? This should never be in a final print.

    ReplyDelete
  37. True, but consider that TBBT last year was hovering above 5s, while now it doing mids 4s. The fact that The Odd Couple is doing low 3-high 2s on the slot with a lower TBBT already posses it as a better time slot occupant than The Millers.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Still no,Herman got blind now.

    ReplyDelete
  39. totally disagree

    ReplyDelete
  40. Thanks for the spoiler...

    ReplyDelete
  41. Yes, the detective might have been off-putting on purpose but the whole 'aloof' thing threw me off.


    And Ryan's character was even worse with the his constant need to reach out to the mother of the dead kid. Was a bit too much, for me.

    ReplyDelete
  42. HTGAWMRevengeOUAT6 March 2015 at 14:35

    Is it true that two gangsters In American crime were watching TV and they were actually watching revenge? I heard the rumor

    ReplyDelete
  43. Oh yeah, for sure I think it is an improvement on The Millers but that was one of the biggest flops CBS has aired comedy wise in the last years so that really isn't saying much. It is actually hard to be as weak as the millers. My point wasn't saying that, was just saying that week to week fluctuations (growth or not) for comedies in a pimped slot like this is probably more irrelevant than for normal shows since it could simply be the result of a higher result from the lead-in, people changing the channel later on, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  44. HTGAWMRevengeOUAT6 March 2015 at 14:35

    How was scandal last night, I will watch it tonight before i watch empire and the 100 from this week

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yes. Season 3 Episode 10

    ReplyDelete
  46. of course they are not because the truly believe stuff that happens on HTGAWM could happen in real life & that they would get away with it

    ReplyDelete
  47. HTGAWMRevengeOUAT6 March 2015 at 14:36

    That is hilarious ::D

    ReplyDelete
  48. Could be, but I certainly expected to drop more this week, so it caught me a bit off guard that its ratings actually increased. It is a matter of expectation

    ReplyDelete
  49. They explain in the second hour why is he always reaching out to her (I don't know if you watched the second hour or not). In any case, I fully understand it isn't a show for everyone, but I enjoy it.

    ReplyDelete
  50. The Blacklist is slowly finding itself on Thursdays. In the fall, if they put Neil Patrick Harris at 8 PM and something new that viewers will watch at 10 PM, then they've sorted out their Thursdays. Now they have to figure out their Wednesdays.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I thought it was one of its strongest episodes; it was a standalone, but a very powerful one

    ReplyDelete
  52. No, I didn't. I just watched the first episode and didn't bother with the second.


    But I might go and watch second then.

    ReplyDelete
  53. HTGAWMRevengeOUAT6 March 2015 at 14:37

    Great to hear :) I guess people really prefer olivia as the fixer. But pls no spoilers

    ReplyDelete
  54. Revenge has NOTHING to do with OUAT

    ReplyDelete
  55. I almost lost my sh** when I saw it. And they were watching "Exodus" of all episodes! (one of my favorites)

    ReplyDelete
  56. I was afraid that the episode would be a bust. lol

    ReplyDelete
  57. I haven't watched it yet either, but Empire was amazing. Maybe my favorite episode to date, I don't know. I only started watching it because of all the success and the first episodes were okay but not amazing to me, but now I am completely hooked. Even the songs, I am always singing them unconsciously lol. I am very much hooked to that thing!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Promotion seriously?? I saw two commercials

    ReplyDelete
  59. At first I thought ABC was just prepping American Crime's launch and that it would serve just that purpose, but I felt it was so much more! It was incredible

    ReplyDelete
  60. HTGAWMRevengeOUAT6 March 2015 at 14:38

    So cool. Ashame they did not show the revenge sign or sth like that which would have promoted it :D

    ReplyDelete
  61. Am I the only person that fell asleep through the first episode? Aside from Taraji and Cookie, it was nothing that jumped to attention.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Then you must not watch ABC very often.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Hope you will enjoy it,it's a powerful episode.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Well, at least the people who watched American Crime had the chance to see Revenge on screen, so does that count as cross promotion?

    ReplyDelete
  65. HTGAWMRevengeOUAT6 March 2015 at 14:39

    Welk i guess we will be both watching scandal tonight ;) and i am all ready for sunday!

    ReplyDelete
  66. They may not share the genre or the style but they share the same pacing and twisted storyline. Both are relatively young skewing. American Crime wouldn't have any of those things.

    ReplyDelete
  67. HTGAWMRevengeOUAT6 March 2015 at 14:39

    I am sure i will

    ReplyDelete
  68. It was the scene when Daniel shot Emily.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I watched the first episode and I truly felt it wasn't my cup of tea.
    It wasn't bad, it just didn't appeal to me

    ReplyDelete
  70. I actually heard that they had plenty of promos for revenge during AC and Scandal last night

    ReplyDelete
  71. Well give it a try if you feel like it then! But Ryan really is a huge part of the show so I am not sure if you can get past not liking him. But try it out.

    ReplyDelete
  72. HTGAWMRevengeOUAT6 March 2015 at 14:40

    Yes it does :D do you think john ridley watches it?

    ReplyDelete
  73. HTGAWMRevengeOUAT6 March 2015 at 14:40

    Awesome! That is what makes the show so good, those Kind of moments

    ReplyDelete
  74. Farewell Parks and Rec6 March 2015 at 14:40

    How I Murdered your Mother
    How to get away with the mother

    ReplyDelete
  75. That must explain why he choose to play revenge in the background

    ReplyDelete
  76. HTGAWMRevengeOUAT6 March 2015 at 14:40

    Really?! Great!!!! did anyone see them?

    ReplyDelete
  77. That is really cool! I may like American Crime a bit more just for doing that :P

    ReplyDelete
  78. When I watched it I was like "HOLY SH**" and somewhere in my mind I hoped this would help Revenge's ratings this Sunday, but that's just wishful thinking

    ReplyDelete
  79. It was just a mess. Not even a hot mess, it was just a mess.
    Not even Taraji saved that for me.

    ReplyDelete
  80. HTGAWMRevengeOUAT6 March 2015 at 14:42

    What has been your favorite Song. Mine is " You're so beautiful" !!

    ReplyDelete
  81. How I Murdered your Mother could have been the title of the show considering how it ended. It would have gave it a darker tone too

    ReplyDelete
  82. HTGAWMRevengeOUAT6 March 2015 at 14:42

    Yeah :D

    ReplyDelete
  83. I liked Jamal right away and I found Terrence Howard's performance terrific too but the show really gets much better, even Taraji herself. But it's a soap, so it is not for everyone's tastes. But right now I am completely hooked to the Lyon family and their weird dynamics, it is very absorbing.

    ReplyDelete
  84. HTGAWMRevengeOUAT6 March 2015 at 14:42

    Was revenge promoted in commercials as Aciel has said?

    ReplyDelete
  85. It's a soap, so it is not for everyone's tastes. But right now I am
    completely hooked to the Lyon family and their weird dynamics, it is
    very absorbing. And the show gets much, much better throughout the season in my opinion. I found it just okay first but now I am really crazy with it.

    ReplyDelete
  86. I don't think that their new promos but at least it got some promotion

    ReplyDelete
  87. Same lol. I am always singing that thing. I also like No Apologies.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I like soaps. I live for soaps.
    Hell, I love Scandal and I loved Revenge once upon a time.


    But 'Empire' isn't for me. It's just a glorified mess. There's no substance to it.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Saw the odd couple
    3weeks in and I m disappointed.
    It is surviving mainly cuz of post TBBT slot.

    ReplyDelete
  90. I think Revenge should at least go higher than 1 when it returns unless Secrets and Lies completely craters which I doubt given how stable it was across all half hours.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Empire's a mess, but Scandal isn't?? Both are Soaps...

    ReplyDelete
  92. I like soaps, I watch plenty - Revenge and Scandal, for instance -, but this one in particular simply didn't appeal to me. I got what the show was trying to do, and I honestly liked Cookie as a character, but it just wasn't enough. I felt the pilot was a bit lifeless, to be honest, likle it lacked the spark Revenge and Scandal have. I like soaps when I feel an intense spark of high stakes and I just didn't feel that with Empire

    ReplyDelete
  93. HTGAWMRevengeOUAT6 March 2015 at 14:45

    Yes definitely!

    ReplyDelete
  94. Scandal was a much better show in its first two seasons than Empire has ever bene.

    ReplyDelete
  95. No substance? I really don't get that one about the show, but to each his own. And I consider Empire way soapier than any of those two, which are two of my favorite shows on TV but I believe are way more thrillers than soaps, though both have soapy elements especially Revenge

    ReplyDelete
  96. Empire is a "real" soap like Dallas or Dynasty.

    ReplyDelete
  97. I hope so, at this point I would even be happy with a 1.1

    ReplyDelete
  98. Top 25 Markets 18-49 Demo Ratings have been posted

    ReplyDelete
  99. Empire is entirely about the Lyon family - those 5 people and their complicated and messy relationships. Simple as that. The stakes are their relationships. So if you need an external element to elevate the stakes I don't think you will find it there. They have it in some episodes (the one this week had it in spades), but it isn't the center of the thing. It's a family drama at the core.

    ReplyDelete
  100. HTGAWMRevengeOUAT6 March 2015 at 14:47

    I think people need to know what the difference between a soap opera (Empire) and a show with soapy ements (Revenge, Scandal) is

    ReplyDelete
  101. Yes, no substance. I, for one, didn't see any in the first episode but who knows.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Backstrom, ugh... (And I'm being nice.)

    So, 1.0 or 1.1?

    ReplyDelete
  103. Scandal as ripped straight from the headlines - no creativity there from writers. Also, For someone (Olivia) who was just kidnapped and feared for her life, there was no sign of what she went through in the prior episode. Okay... her hand was shaking for one second. But no ramification or ptsd from the ordeal? Back to work? Then she takes the father to White House to see the man she just blamed and there her ring at? This story didn't make ANY sense to the storyline, but I guess people don't care about continuity.

    ReplyDelete
  104. American Crime, stay there. YOU CAN'T GO LOWER.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Do you mean lower in the actual ratings or lower during the whole season?

    ReplyDelete
  106. How can you say that when you've only watched one episode of Empire??

    ReplyDelete
  107. Great top 25 numbers for Greys, Scandal and TBBT. The Blacklist looks like its steady and that's good. Get up to that 2.0! American Crime debuted "meh".

    ReplyDelete
  108. I think that may be the problem. I mean, what's the worst that can happen? Jamal's music career failing? Those are pretty low stakes for my standards.
    In order to connect with Empire, you have to connect with the family drama at its core, and I just didn't. I've connected with some other family dramas in the past, but there's something that didn't work for me with Empire... maybe it's that Cookie is the only character that I could give a damn... and well, Jamal to an extent, but I felt he was lacking a bit of personality yet I understood that's what the show wanted to do - after all, the poor guy has been mistreated by his father since day 1.


    I think I'll let Empire pass; let the people who enjoy it keep enjoying while I give myself time for another show :)

    ReplyDelete
  109. It looks like Scandal will hover around low 3's and that Grey's will be around mid 2's.


    The Blacklist looks like another 1.7, maybe.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Does TBL go up or down for Top 25?

    ReplyDelete
  111. I will rephrase it: Scandal's pilot was miles better than Empire's.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Guesses based entirely on top 25 results:
    - Grey's Anatomy: 2.4-2.5
    - Scandal: 3.1
    - American Crime: No idea. Maybe a 2.3 if it operates like GA and Scandal but could vary a lot.

    - Big Bang: 4.6-4.7
    - The Odd Couple: 3.3 (Seems too high to me, but well)
    - Mom: 2.3
    - Elementary: 1.1-1.2

    - The Slap: No Clue
    - The Blacklist: 1.7-1.8
    - Allegiance: 0.6-0.7

    - American Idol: 2.2
    - Backstorm: 1.1-1.2

    ReplyDelete
  113. Sadly I think it will go lower and we will both loose.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Does it stay steady sometimes?

    ReplyDelete
  115. Lower than I expected for American Crime, but not bad

    ReplyDelete
  116. Not usually, no. it usually goes down.

    ReplyDelete
  117. You really root against it. I expect 1.1-1.2

    ReplyDelete
  118. HTGAWMRevengeOUAT6 March 2015 at 14:53

    Ouch american crime

    ReplyDelete
  119. Not really "ouch", but underwhelming considering its promotion

    ReplyDelete
  120. I think that a 2.4 is pretty good.

    ReplyDelete

  124. CBS shows usually go up from top 25, I don't think it will

    ReplyDelete
  125. For me the stakes, like you put it, the worst that can happen are their relationships being harmed and what happens among them. Also, I understand that in the first episodes you only care about Cookie and Jamal (I liked Jamal a lot right away), are probably indifferent about Lucious and Andre and are annoyed with Hakeem. But they redeem Hakeem and he becomes ok ad more interesting, Andre goes front and center in recent episodes and becomes an explosive interesting character and Lucious is just a hell of a complex character all the way with his actions and search for power and love at the same time, with an Emmy worthy performance from Terrrence Howard behind it. But like I said, I don't think it is for everyone. And the main goal of the show is really to entertain, not to leave you thinking or theorizing or anything like that, which happens on the other shows. And it does that job very well, it is a damn entertaining hour, to me at least ;)

    But well, there isn't a shortage of great shows going around, so if it doesn't appeal to you, I think you are making the right thing in looking elsewhere )

    Well it won't be coming back any earlier now since American Idol is 2 hours for the next 2 weeks.

    ReplyDelete
  127. I expect a 2.3. At worse maybe a 2.2. I think it did very well.

  128. You stopped watching OUAT?

    ReplyDelete
  129. No.... What makes you think that?

  130. you said loved

    ReplyDelete
  131. I loved Revenge once upon a time.


    That is, once, I loved Revenge. I don't love it anymore.

  132. i just misunderstood u

  133. The Blacklist! \o/

    ReplyDelete
  134. I think I may have liked Empire better if it had been a bit more thought provoking, but that's ok, it's not what the show is aiming to and it's obviously succeeding at entertaining (after all, people really love the show). So maaaaybe I could check out one or two more episodes, but I don't feel like it, at least not right now, so I'll be checking out some other shows that have been on my waiting list (like Sherlock and Reign)

    ReplyDelete
  135. Up from last week and out of a repeat. Mom is doing a respectable job at its timeslot

    ReplyDelete
  136. that "no substance" is hilarious! Because if you actually WATCHED the show, you'd see that it's tackling real issue with Homophobia, Mental Illness, abandonment, etc... You probably are the only person on EARTH that would say Empire is a show with NO SUBSTANCE! But Okay...

    ReplyDelete
  137. Backstrom is a rollercoaster in ratings goes up,down,I dont know what is its real audience.

    ReplyDelete
  138. I understand it ;)

    ReplyDelete
  139. NBC needs to move The Slap and Allegiance to Saturdays and give two shows that can at least do decent on Thursdays.
    I'd move Grimm after The Blacklist, and air anything before it, heck, even repeats of previous Blacklist episodes may help more

    ReplyDelete
  140. I would air Game Night in there. It should get a 1.0, maybe a 1.2 on good nights. And yes, Grimm at 10pm.

    ReplyDelete
  141. How could he make that kind of a mistake?

    ReplyDelete
  142. They should move Allegiance to 9, it would hold more of The Vampire Diaries' lead-in than Reign.

    Oh wait...

    ReplyDelete
  143. Top 25s aren't that great for American Crime. It skewed old as expected.

    ReplyDelete
  144. That's probably the best move NBC has right now. Next season they can actually schedule something that allows the night to work, but for now they need to do damage control. Grimm can pull mid 1s out of The Blacklist, I'm sure of it. And with Game Night no the night, I think they can survive the night and help The Blacklist hit low 2s

    ReplyDelete
  145. American Crime didnt do good,it had great leadin,good timeslot with no competition at all and big promotion.

    ReplyDelete
  146. I'm laughing so hard for Marc mixing up HIMYM wih HTGAWM. He just made himself even more ridiculous.

    ReplyDelete
  147. I hope for at least a 2.0 for Mom!

    ReplyDelete
  148. I don't know how he made that mistake. Aside from the "how" at the beginning the titles are vastly different

    ReplyDelete
  149. Do you think they should have aired a new PD on Wednesday?

    ReplyDelete
  150. That's underwhelming for American Crime. After all that promotion, I was expecting more.


    I've been trying to forget about HIMYM but it keeps coming at me in unexpected places.


    I wonder which comedy CBS will use as lead-in to Mom next season, if sticks to its current slot.

    ReplyDelete
  151. I don't know, there was no way to know a clip show of The Voice was going to hit 2s

    ReplyDelete
  152. I'm not sure if that is great for Scandal and Greys. I hope so.

    ReplyDelete
  153. Probably not since there was Cyber premiere and all and probably wasn't worth the risk but I would have aired a new Laura. In any case, I gotta say I really didn't think a voice repeat would do that high against idol and empire so I am not sure if I would have bothered in advance.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Looks fine, Grey's seems to have increased from last week, and Scandal seems to do business as usual

    ReplyDelete
  155. I think the 9pm will be Mom and Odd Couple in some combination. That way, the big bang theory essentially launches two new comedies (one Mondays at 8h30, the other Thursdays 8h30), Mike and Molly is kept as reserve again though it really doesn't deserve it and 2 Broke Girls keeps the slot.

    ReplyDelete
  156. It was an incredible show, grab some tissues that's all I'll say.

    ReplyDelete
  157. um some haven't watched it yet and you're spoiling it

    ReplyDelete
  158. They have been promoting the hell out of this show.

    ReplyDelete
  159. Not all of my reasons are because of Bones. I happen to really, really dislike the show...and I just want it to go away!

    ReplyDelete
  160. Totally agree with not fitting into TGIT. People want twist and turns etc, like HTGAWM.

    ReplyDelete
  161. More importantly for CBS, Mom is doing fine at 9:30. It can keep this sitcom block alive for next season in some way. My guess is that it launches a new show at 9:00 and keeps the other three shows the same.


    But Elementary? My guess is that it moves. No sense in wasting the time slot. I'll probably go to Fridays or Sundays.

    ReplyDelete
  162. Agreed. I'd much rather watch that than AC.

    ReplyDelete
  163. I definitely do. lol

    ReplyDelete
  164. She is not listed as guest in the next two episodes, so I think it is. I think they will drop Herman's name around, but we won't be seeing her again.

    ReplyDelete
  165. oops... sorry. lol

    Looks like Crime skewed old.

    ReplyDelete
  167. I know that, but that's not the point.

    ReplyDelete
  168. The real test for TCO will be when it airs after a TBBT repeat. CBS is trying to put off that happening as long as they can, tho.

    NBC emergency schedule:
    MON: The Voice/The Mysteries of Laura

    Burn-off saturdays: Allegiance doubled-up (avoiding more Dateline)
    SUN: The Voice(r)/A.D./Dateline*


    *3 hours to a newsmagazine, could be some SNL recaps

    ReplyDelete
  170. TMoL after TV? I really don't see that happening.
    And you are forgetting Allegiance.

    ReplyDelete
  171. OT: I was really hoping NBC would use The Voice finale as lead-in for Heroes Reborn but I don't see that happening now. They haven't even announced the full cast yet, unless they have already done the casting and are keeping it under wraps.

    ReplyDelete
  172. I know. Lol

    ReplyDelete
  173. I thought Revenge was a soap opera with genre elements

    ReplyDelete
  174. American Crime should be on cable. People don't watch that type of show on network TV.

    ReplyDelete
  175. Props for ABC for trying something different, but I don't think it will work out for them.

    ReplyDelete
  176. Where's Odyssey? He went to Emerald City?

    ReplyDelete
  177. I have been trying to forgot about this show, but it keeps coming back at me.

    ReplyDelete
  178. Hope Mom stays above 2.0

    ReplyDelete
  179. Elementary needs to move.Fridays or Sundays?

    ReplyDelete
  180. Me too. Another funny episode and touching episode. Octavia Spencer and Jamie Presley were great.

    ReplyDelete
  181. *Majority of people.

  182. Farewell Parks and Rec6 March 2015 at 15:35

    Lol.


    I should've explained about Mondays and Sundays, I would give The Mysteries of Laura a post-Voice tryout keeping it in case it does well.


    In case it doesn't, it goes back to wednesdays and Odyssey takes the post-Voice slot, levaing sundays at 10 with nothing, but I mixed both schedules.

    ReplyDelete
  183. Older people watch tv as well & like well written programming, older people as well have more money to spend, and the advertisers know this

    ReplyDelete
  184. Sunday after TGW.

    ReplyDelete
  185. Agree,it is the slot CBS will probably give it.
