The Carrie Diaries (CW), 90210 (CW), Deception (NBC)
----------
-Ratings Breakdown:
CBS ruled the Monday metered markets, with a 0.7 rating point advantage over second-place Fox, which featured the series-premiere of The Following. While not a significant opening, the Kevin Bacon drama was clearly sampled with a second-place 6.7 rating/10 share in the overnights from 9-10 p.m. Comparably, that built from year-ago occupant Alcatraz (6.0/ 9 on 1/23/12) by 12 percent, with growth out of the 8:30 p.m. portion of lead-in Bones (#2t, 5.5/ 8) of 22 percent. The debut of The Following, additionally, was 81 percent above the launch of failed fall time period occupant The Mob Doctor (3.7/ 6 on 9/17/12). Let’s see what happens next week.
Earlier in the evening on Fox was aforementioned Bones, which was already renewed for next season, at a third-place 5.4/ 8 in the overnights from 8-9 p.m.
In week two news, Sex and the City prequel The Carrie Diaries on The CW is a huge disappointment with a mere 1.1/ 2 in the overnights at 8 p.m. Comparatively, that dipped by 15 percent from its already lackluster opening one week earlier (1.3/ 2 on Jan. 14), which translated into just 1.61 million viewers and a 0.6 rating/2 share among adults 18-49. The Carrie Diaries, in addition, was only equal to year-ago time period occupant Gossip Girl.
At 9 p.m. on The CW was 90210, which moved into the time period with a miniscule 0.6/ 1 in the overnights and a loss of 50 percent from year-ago occupant Hart of Dixie (1.2/ 2). Isn’t it time already for 90210 to officially end?
It was a clean overnight sweep for CBS last night, meanwhile, with a first-place finish in each of the six half-hours care of its combination of How I Met Your Mother (6.7/10), a repeat of The Big Bang Theory (6.6/10), 2 Broke Girls (7.7/11 – tops for the night), Mike & Molly (6.9/10) and Hawaii Five-O (6.4/11). As a reminder, perennial benchwarmer Rules of Engagement returns to the Monday 8:30 p.m. half hour on CBS on February 4.
Next was ABC with its line-up of The Bachelor (5.5/ 8 from 8-10 p.m.), which was just seven percent below the 5.9/ 9 in the overnights one year earlier, and Castle (#2: 6.2/10 at 10 p.m.), which can now stand on its own without the support of Dancing With the Stars.
NBC closed the evening with two-hours of The Biggest Loser (4.0/ 6 from 8-10 p.m.), which trailed competing The Bachelor on ABC by 27 percent, and episode three of drama Deception, which sunk to a series-low 2.6/ 4 in the overnights at 10 p.m. Comparably, Deception pales in comparison to recent time period occupant Revolution (which benefitted, of course, out of The Voice), and it dropped by 33 percent from the 9:30 p.m. portion of The Biggest Loser (3.9/ 6). Three-week overnight track for Deception: 4.3/ 7 – 3.1/ 5 – 2.6/ 4).

great for 2 broke girls and the following
ReplyDeleteThey've essentially killed 90210 it seems.
ReplyDeleteI was so optimistic Marc had turned over a new lead, shame lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat for HIMYM! I hope it kept as higher as last week or higher...
ReplyDeleteGiving it a flop as a lead in was a huge mistake, but I guess maybe they'll finally end it now.
ReplyDelete6.2/10 for Castle... what does it mean in the demo? 1.8, 1.9 perhaps? If so, looks like they are pretty much established (it´s not that good, but al least doesn´t drop too much)...
ReplyDeletethats pretty much what its being doing demo wise for weeks now so seems like a reasonable prediction.
ReplyDeleteBTW you cant tell from these ratings what a shows demo rating will be.
I think thats because shows mainly make their money through US TV add revenue and US syndication. I'm not sure they're huge money spinners outside of the US.
ReplyDeleteIn all likelyhood this show was on its way out the door regardless of how well it did or didnt do behind Carrie, its pretty much expected to be given a final GG type 10 episode send off in the fall. The shows ratings have been poor for several seasons now.
ReplyDeleteThe majority of people who have commented on The Following have been very positive, so hopefully it wont fall that much :)
ReplyDeleteThey haven't learned, giving GG a final season didn't help as most of the season averaged between 700k - 800k viewers. Oh well, they're own loss.
ReplyDeleteI had predicted a 3.0-3.1, so this is good. I haven't watched yet because I have been busy today, but if the quality is there like everyone says it is, it should not have horrible drops moving forward and should get an easy renewal
ReplyDeleteI agree there but Mark Pedowitz hinted that this is what they would be doing, they essentially have had more than enought time to tell the show runner to wrap the show up this season. Oh well I guess they at least have one less hour on ths shedule to think about well for half a season at least.
ReplyDeleteGreat for The Following, I hope it doesn't fall too law in coming weeks. I think it's great ratings considering the lack of a major lead-in.
ReplyDeleteExactly, they could've easily wrapped things up this season too.
ReplyDeleteIt clearly shows how much H50 used the NFL on Sunday. The rating differences are huge.
ReplyDeleteBONES BONES BONES BONES BONES BONES BONES BONES BONES BONES BONES BONES BONES BONES BONES BONES BONES I'M VERY PROUD
ReplyDeleteFox was also heavily pushing DVR use for the Following, so I have to wonder what will happen once the numbers are adjusted. I would imagine they would at least go up a point a or two. Either people have kids that there's no way they'd put it on around or people live with other people who are uncomfortable with this sort of show (for example I have someone in my house who gets really uncomfortable watching anything in the horror genre).
ReplyDeleteFox seems to really want to embrace the DVR numbers instead of grudgingly accepting for the Following because of the nature of the show and the fact that it's on network television and not cable (as far as it pushing the limits of what's considered acceptable with gore and violence on network television). It'll be interesting long term to see how that plays out in terms of renewal.
Great numbers for CBS... Go HIMYM!
ReplyDeleteThe following was really good. I am not usually a fan of blood and gore but that was a fantastic pilot, Excellent casting ans excellent writing.
ReplyDeleteI know. :) Yay! Hopefully it will get adjusted up and tie for the season high.
ReplyDeleteNoooooooooooooooooo!! i Love 90210!!
ReplyDeleteActually it did worse than last week. The ratings mentioned in the article (which I think is what you were looking at, not the tables) are all age groups. In the 18-49 ratings share it scored a 2.2/6 and had 9.58 million viewers, last week it scored 2.4/6 and had 9.59 million viewers.
ReplyDeleteI mean I enjoy Hawaii 5-0 well enough, but I think CBS squandered an opportunity to showcase Person of Interest after the football game. It's struggling right now (plus it's in a really competitive time slot) and I really think showing an episode would have breathed new life into it. Clearly, showing Hawaii 5-0 didn't help. Then again it seems year after networks make mistakes with what they choose to show. I'm still pissed at NBC for showing the Office a couple of years ago and not Chuck (I firmly believe that it might still be on today had they done that).
Uh, Bones is a pretty great lead-in...
ReplyDeleteI don't watch the show, but I meant as opposed to either a CBS commedy or something like American Idol, which would have given The Following more of a push. If Bones is doing rgeat ratings wise, then I stand corrected.
ReplyDeleteFeel sorry for "Deception". I really enjoy this show. It doesn't deserve its ratings.
ReplyDeleteTVbytN posted that the finals may not be out until tomorrow because of MLK Day yesterday.
ReplyDeleteReally sad for the carrie diaries, good pilot and poor audience - so it is still going to end up with a cancellation. :C
ReplyDeleteAnother 10M+ for HIMYM. That's great!
ReplyDeleteMike and Molly doing awesome as usual - whoop!
ReplyDeleteThat is not quite true. H50 for example was sold to 200 countries. Cost per ep around one million per country. Do the math about that. Outside the US is a HUGE market.
ReplyDeleteH50 & Castle thrased Deception yikes!
ReplyDeleteWow! How I Met Your Mother won the demo! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe way TCD is going, I might just stop watching now. I don't want another 'Emily Owens' situation on my hands ):
ReplyDeleteLove seeing Bones back up in the ratings!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what you're talking about. Person Of Interest is still doing great.
ReplyDeleteOk wait a minute. When you say "it's struggling right now", I hope you're referring to H50. Person of Interest is not struggling at all right now. In fact, its situation is quite the opposite. I know what its ratings are and they're very, very good. It's been beating Grey's regularly and is one of the key reasons why CBS is ruling Thursdays. POI is in no trouble at all. Five-0 on the other hand is struggling. It's competing against Castle and Revolution (thanks NBC for putting Revolution on hiatus for 3 months). CBS was smart to give it some help from football. Just wanted to clarify that. Lastly, I'm a huge Chuck fan as well. I don't think NBC did anything right with it. Granted, Chuck's show runners made the biggest mistake of all by destroying the season the one time when the show did have NBC's backing (season 3). But at least they corrected their mistake. NBC never corrected it's several mistakes. I've always thought that NBC didn't deserve Chuck. The show deserved to be on CBS or a network that had the money to promote it more, etc.
ReplyDeleteI've never understood or known how that translation works lol. If someone could give me a link to a good explanation I'd appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing is that this shows have sooo many fans, who watch them, outside of America and it's a shame that ratings include only that ones...
ReplyDeleteI really hope Bones is up across the board because I really liked last night's episode.
ReplyDeletecastle is the best show ever!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes but it still doesn't count in the Nielsen ratings, because from what I understand, viewers in other countries see different commercials and ads, and they therefore can't count those.
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly why I have a personal policy of not watching shows in their 1st season. I want to see if shows make it first before I start watching. No point in watching it if it's just going to end. However, there is 1 show that I did make an exception to that policy for: Person of Interest. I could tell it was going to be a hit as soon as I saw the first promo last year. If you haven't already done so, you should check it out. It's really good. Don't just watch the next episode though. It is heavily serialized so you need to start from the pilot. And don't worry about its ratings. It's one of the top 5 shows on TV right now and the fastest growing show on network TV.
