----------
-Ratings Breakdown:
It was a midweek overnight victory for CBS courtesy of Survivor: Philippines (#1: 6.8 rating/11 share), underrated Criminal Minds (#1 overall from 9-10 p.m.: 7.6/11) and veteran CSI (#1: 6.9/12), which has fared well opposite new (and full season renewed) entries Nashville on ABC (#2: 4.4/ 8) and Chicago Hope on NBC (#3: 4.2/ 7). All three Eye net hours were close to year-ago levels. As for Survivor: Philippines, Lisa Whelchel, in my humble opinion, is playing the most admirable game in the history of the reality/competition. Go Blair! The Facts of Life, which airs on cable net The Hub in the Wednesday 8-10 p.m. block, is featuring a clever promo that ties into Survivor.
Second for the evening overall was The X Factor on Fox with a 6.0/ 9 in the overnights from 8-10 p.m. But that performance was 20 percent below the 7.5/12 on the year-ago evening.
In season-premiere news, sophomore sitcom Whitney on NBC finished a distant fourth with a 3.1/ 5 at 8 p.m. While that was the network’s best overnight rating in the time period since October 3, it was still down by 14 percent from bland year-ago occupant Up All Night (3.6/ 6 on 11/16/11). Next on NBC was recent entry Guys With Kids (#4: 2.9/ 5 at 8:30 p.m.), followed by long-running Law & Order: SVU (#4: 4.4/ 7) and episode six of aforementioned Chicago Fire (#3: 4.2/ 7) from 9-11 p.m.
Over at ABC, Modern Family, as usual, was top-rated for the night with an 8.1/13 in the overnights at 9 p.m. And that will easily translate into an adult 18-49 victory. But sophomore Suburgatory dipped to a 5.0/ 8 at 9:30 p.m. (#3), which was 38 percent below Modern Family. Earlier in the evening on the alphabet net was underrated The Middle at a second-place 5.9/ 9 at 8 p.m., followed by recent kooky entry The Neighbors at a 4.6/ 7 at 8:30 p.m. Comparably, retention for The Neighbors out of The Middle was 78 percent.
Aforementioned Nashville capped off the evening for ABC with a second-place 4.4/ 8 at 10 p.m., which was 24 percent below year-ago occupant Revenge (5.8/10 on 11/16/11).
Over at The CW, freshman drama Arrow remains the real deal with a 2.8/ 5 (#5) in the overnights at 8 p.m. Comparably, that bested an encore telecast of America’s Next Top Model on the year-ago evening (1.0/ 2 on 11/16/11) by 180- percent. Tired Supernatural, however, dipped to a 1.5/ 2 (#5) at 9 p.m., which was 46 percent below Arrow. Given the strength of Arrow, The CW could do better here. Food for thought for next season.

LOL, at las Marc could find new things to say. Does he just copy/past his "tired Supernatural" non sense every week?
ReplyDeleteHe is an idiot, my God. He tries to be a troll or something. He fails epically.
ReplyDeleteI'm so tired of this idiot.Really.I think it's better to just take a look at the numbers.Supernatural is doing great and this guy just can't stand it.He thinks he's being a professional critic but all he's achieving is being a douche.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you go comment on his website?
ReplyDeleteI don't really want to register in his forum. I might tweet that to him later, though.
ReplyDeleteEvery week the same "tired" lines. This is no professional critic, he's just prejudiced. And this means he failed his job...!! Time for him to retire....
ReplyDeleteGUYS. You don't understand.... When he says "time to retire", that's just a provocation. He knows you well I think now :-)
ReplyDeleteWow 6.0 in HH ratings for X Factor, that's the highest so far this season, beating 5.9 for Auditions 4 and 6. That must mean it's up sharply from the 6.3 million of last week, which is very good news :D
ReplyDeleteAs usual... Ctrl-C + Ctrl-V
ReplyDeleteBut now.... TIME TO RETIRE.
What a hilarious guy...
Time to retire translates to "I can't put it in the loser column because I know for a fact the ratings are good for a CW show, but I hate this stupid show, so I'll tell everyone it is failing.". I'll wait for TB By The Numbers and the demographic numbers.
ReplyDeleteAre there other shows this guy bashes like this??? Has he something personal against someone that works on SPN?? I don't understand his stupidity, really.
ReplyDeleteexactly he's just trying to get a rise oyt of SPN fans, the ratings speak for themselves and the more they continue to do so the more he looks like a pratt
ReplyDeleteman he really loves his Survivor!
ReplyDeleteI can't say about recently, but Lord he HATED Angel, The Series. Every single week he kept saying how Angel deserved to be canceled due to retention. For four years, he kept on and on about how badly Angel was doing in the ratings. I cheered every time Angel got renewed just to spite him. He gets these bees in his bonnet and he just won't let them go. The main ones seem to be shows on the CW.
ReplyDeleteIts just the guys opinion. That's what he comments on his stats report.
ReplyDeleteSupernatural might have dipped a tiny bit last night compared to the previous weeks but in reality it's really doing great compared to last year when it was on Friday. So the author needs to chill and quit attacking a show that doing great.
ReplyDeleteThe CW network gets beaten up by everyone. A few of it's shows have die hard fans but the network itself seems to be lol worthy every week.
ReplyDeleteYAY again for Arrow and SPN! (ignoring his hatred of SPN a show he probably has never watched). I love this combo on Wed nights. So glad to see the CW with a new hit in Arrow and it's a perfect lead in for a vet like SPN.
ReplyDeleteIgnoring Berman and his hate boner for SPN because his opinion doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteYay, SPN did well! LOL at Whitney failing.
Hate that Nashville fell, but hopefully the ratings pick back up soon. I need it to get a second season!
I love how he had to make a new column for Supernatural because it did too well for him to be able to put it under losers. :D Sucker.
ReplyDeletein all fairness his opinion is clearly only based on HH ratings which when you look at SPN's retention out of Arrow does look poor. But since that doesn't matter he still looks stupid.
ReplyDeleteTime To Retire huh? Supernatural is the BEST!!! !#?
ReplyDeleteStable in 1.0, SPN is doing fine with 2.3 mill viewers!! Even they gained 73% in Live+7DVR Last week!!! Awesome for CW shows on their EIGHT season!
ReplyDeleteFrom the CW's press release
ReplyDeleteSUPERNATURAL tied with last week as
the series' second most watched episode of the season (2.3M) and rose in
all key demos, matching season highs in A18-34 (1.0/3), A18-49 (1.0/3),
and W18-34 (1.0/3).
In most recent L+7 Day data, ARROW
gained 31% in total viewers, 39% in A18-34 and 44% in A18-49.
SUPERNATURAL continues to post big increases with delayed viewing, with
its most recent episode jumping 73% in A18-34, 62% in A18-49 and 43% in
total viewers.
Go suck it Berman!
Dude just report the damn ratings and leave your personal opinions about the show out of it. Being in it's 8th season and still one of the top performers for the network is pretty damn good.
ReplyDeleteThat's because when they think of CW they think of teen dramas.
ReplyDeleteAhahahaha, his remarks amuse me. I'd seriously love to know where he gets his numbers and how he judges a show's worth. Should retire? I suppose that's better then 'loser' this week. Even though SPN's ratings are holding STRONG this year. Stronger then the past few years. This is an OLD show, and it's holding more viewers then most of what CW's got. CW its self is a low rated network, so for it to be pulling as many viewers as it does is outstanding. ..This guy is a fake. I do love the little note added to the top though, since the poster here realizes that this guy is a crock.
ReplyDeleteTHIS, exactly! Hilarious.
ReplyDeletePercy I've never loved you more :) THIS is what's important. Look at those insane increases? SPN is CW's oldest, most productive show (or close to it if not?)! Older then VD, and VD is CW's baby, its most nurtured show.
ReplyDeleteThat's because CW doesn't put up the same braindead procedural shows nearly every other channel puts up all the bloody time. I swear I'm tired of seeing 'CSI' and all combinations of the alphabet beside it.
ReplyDeleteThe only plus to CW's low raitings across the board? Makes them pretty loyal to their older shows that are still pulling in ratings. A 1 on ANY other channel would kill it in a heartbeat, and to be honest, SPN's raitings in seasons 6 and 7 were abissmal. Seeing it holding strong at a .9 or 1 is amazing.
Shut up. We don't talk about 'Those other shows not SPN' here. Go away.
ReplyDelete(Joking, joking :))
Marc, you're tired. It's time to retire.
ReplyDeleteI am happy about these rating but I am just getting sick of hearing this guy say its bad shut up SPN is staying on wed night there is not a damn thing you can do about it so give it up.
ReplyDelete
