TNT’s FRANKLIN & BASH Opens with 2.7 Million Viewers, While Peabody Award-Winning MEN OF A CERTAIN Draws 1.8 Million
TNT’s summer season got off to a solid start last night. The new legal dramedy FRANKLIN & BASH summoned 2,746,000 viewers for its series premiere and proved to be a hit with young adults, according to fast national data from Nielsen Media Research. The Peabody Award-winning MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE, one of the most acclaimed series on television, followed with 1,846,000 viewers.


So, that's good for Franklin and Bash, right? Men of a Certain Age's ratings don't seem that great.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's about right :)
ReplyDeleteMakes it pretty comparable to last year's Leverage and HawthoRNe ratings if it keeps, so, yeah.
ReplyDeleteCrap, that's a series low for Men. Sadness :(.
ReplyDeleteIn fairness to Men, they are accustom to starting with The Closer as a lead in. I'm sure the weak lead-in had something to do with it.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good for the shows since TNT isn't big like ABC and other shows. I say as long as they get around 2 million viewers each episode then they will survive.
ReplyDeleteLol! I misread the title as << TNT Renews Franklin and Bash>>. But that's close according to the ratings right?
ReplyDeleteHow hilarious. It seems no one can definitively decide what to make of Franklin & Bash's premiere ratings:
ReplyDeleteThe Hollywood Reporter: "TNT got off to slow starts with two dramas..."
Entertainment Weekly: "Franklin & Bash off to a good start"
Deadline Hollywood: "TNT's Franklin & Bash off to soft ratings start..."
The Wrap: "off to a decidedly unspectacular start..."
Basically as I suspect there are a lot of so called "TV Experts" who
ReplyDeletereally don't know what they are talking about half the time.
That's why we try just to report the facts rather than trying to put
our "slant" on things.
Good on ya for going that route. When it comes to ratings I tend to shoot my mouth off and that's probably more than enough for everyone around here. :)
ReplyDeleteHa lol, we don't mind that at all :)
