Fox Wins; The Following Holds Up in Week Two
Household
Rating/Share
Fox 6.0/ 9

-Percent Change from the Year-Ago Evening (1/30/12):
NBC: +31, Fox: + 5, ABC: - 4, CBS: - 8, CW: -23
----------
-Winners:
The Bachelor (ABC), The Big Bang Theory R (CBS), The Following (Fox)
-Honorable Mention:
Bones (Fox)
-Losers (excluding repeats):
The Carrie Diaries (CW), 90210 (CW)
----------
-Ratings Breakdown:
With CBS in all repeats, Fox took center stage in the Monday overnights, beating second-place ABC by seven-tenths of a rating point. At the height of Fox’s strength was week two of Kevin Bacon drama The Following, which (minus original episodes of competing 2 Broke Girls and Mike & Molly on CBS) won the 9 p.m. hour with a 6.3 rating/10 share. Comparably, that grew from lead-in Bones (#2: 5.8/ 9 from 8-9 p.m.) by nine percent. And it dipped by only six percent from its week-ago debut (6.7/10 on January 21, which translated into 10.42 million viewers and a 3.2 rating/8 share among adults 18-49, based on the Live Plus Same Day data. Compared to year-ago occupant Alcatraz (5.7/ 8 on 1/30/12), episode two of The Following built by 11 percent.
Two episodes in and The Following looks promising on Fox. Stay tuned.
News for the two other new Monday midseason series was not as promising. Week three of Sex and the City prequel The Carrie Diaries on The CW remained buried in the 8 p.m. hour, with a 1.2/ 2 in the overnights. While that was actually an increase of nine percent from one week earlier (three-week overnight track: 1.3/ 2 – 1.1/ 2 – 1.2/ 2), that 1.1 rating in the overnights only translated into 1.27 million viewers and a 0.5/ 1 among adults 18-49 (with equally disappointing news amongst The CW’s core young female demographics). Unfortunately, there is no reason to believe the results last night will be much better for young Carrie Bradshaw.
Comparably, The Carrie Diaries was also eight percent below year-ago occupant Gossip Girl in the overnights (1.3/ 2 on 1/30/12), and it led into relocated 90210, which dipped to a mere (and very last place) 0.8/ 1 at 9 p.m. Note to The CW: It is time to let 90210 go.
Week four of NBC drama Deception, meanwhile, perked up to a 3.0/ 5 (#3) at 10 p.m. And that was 25 percent above year-ago occupant Rock Center With Brian Williams (2.4/ 4 on 1/30/12) and 15 percent above the 2.6/ 4 in the overnights one week earlier. Facing repeats of both Hawaii Five-O on CBS (#1: 4.5/ 8) and Castle on ABC (#2: 4.2/ 7) was, no doubt, beneficial. But retention for Deception out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of demo friendly The Biggest Loser (#4: 4.4/ 7) was still lacking at 68 percent, and former time period occupant Revolution was a much stronger option (out of The Voice, of course).
Overall, The Biggest Loser averaged a consistent 4.3/ 7 in the overnights from 8-10 p.m. On paper, that seems slim. But keep in mind that the inspirational weight loss competition always resonates in the key young adults demographics.
Elsewhere, encores of CBS’ 8-10 p.m. sitcom block – How I Met Your Mother (#3t: 4.3/ 7), The Big Bang Theory (#1: 5.9/ 9), 2 Broke Girls (#3: 5.3/ 8) and Mike & Molly (#3: 5.0/ 8) – kept the Eye net in the competitive loop. And two-hours of perennial The Bachelor on ABC was the dominant option overall from 8-10 p.m., with a 5.8/ 9.

good for the following! watched the premiere last night. was never so frightened with a show! in a good way, though
ReplyDeletehopefully The Following holds up in the demo, I havent seen the pilot yet but I have the show on series record.
ReplyDeleteCW's Monday line needs to go, I expect Carrie will be cancelled once its 13 episodes are done and 90210 will come back for a final GG type send off though I think they may be better to try to wrap it up this season.
Shame Deception didnt work out for NBC, I liked that they filled the gap between cycles of The Voice and Revolution with TBL and tried to launch a new new drama behind it.
im hope that 90210 over 1milion viwership!
ReplyDeletethey can be lucky if they get 800k
ReplyDeleteYay Bones. :) I hope that means good demos.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Bones is doing well--I think they had a hard time fitting in the bonus episodes at the start of the season, but these episodes now are just great! Enjoying them hugely!
ReplyDeleteWOOHOO THE FOLLOWING!
ReplyDeleteSo they're basically getting GG numbers, CW Mondays are a joke.
ReplyDeleteseason high for bones, yay! hopefully this means the following is high as well
ReplyDeletefingers crossed :)
ReplyDeletea 3.3!! i did not see that one coming! excellent news!!
ReplyDeleteWoohooow Bones :DD
ReplyDeleteYay Bones! :) I just wish it wasn't because CBS had reruns.
ReplyDeleteGood for The Following! Might give this one a shot now, even with its premiere.
ReplyDeleteBones - respect!
ReplyDeleteDon't watch the show but i think those ratings clearly suggest that the pairing Bones/The Following really works.
I'm sooooo proud of Bones and Fox =DD
ReplyDeletegood, but let see what happens when the voice return ;) bones should be grateful to the following.
ReplyDeleteEven though the ratings are bad for the carrie diaries, I'm glad that the ratings go up and not down. and yeah 90210 is a bust.
ReplyDeletecastle win!
ReplyDeleteTVbtn says 0.5 for Carrie Daries...who is right?
ReplyDeleteHit refresh. It should say .5 We had an earlier typo that we fixed.
ReplyDeleteIt's a 0.5, it certainly didn't go up to a 0.7.
ReplyDeleteNot by much and 90210 is embarassing, it doesn't deserve a final season, it should end soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat for Bones!
ReplyDeletesomeone vote against me, who is angry?? lol
ReplyDeleteNooooooooooooo !! i want to die !! please go watch 90210 !!
ReplyDeleteim fucking want to die !! they get 760K !! its for sure becuse 90210 is in 9 .. :(
ReplyDeleteBones is grateful to the following, it certainly helped. It's still an impressive score. They have a steady 2-2.1 at 8 with tons of huge competition. Glee had the same score with American Idol as a lead-in. For an 8 year old show, impressive..
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm surprised 90210 dropped even further. I wonder if The CW will still want to give it that shortened final season they usually do. Thing is, Pedowitz said he's all about giving shows a proper wrap-up, and the 90210 writers won't have time to do that now (not that I believe he cares enough to put that before his business considerations).
ReplyDeleteFor those of you who care, in women 18-34 Carrie did 1.0 (up from last week's 0.8) and 90210 did 0.7 (stable).
ReplyDeleteDont see why they cant write an appropriate ending for this season, they have time.
ReplyDeleteI think having a good partner is really helping Bones. People might actually be willing to tune in for a double feature.
ReplyDeleteCastle was a repeat
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that they were filming episode 20 recently. They could even be on to 21 by now. The CW would have to make the cancellation decision and tell them *right now* for them to write an ending.
ReplyDeleteThey could easily rewrite it, it's not like it's a complex serialized show.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for Bones (even though Season 9 is confirmed) and it sounds a bit "wishful thinking" but I wouldn't be surprised, not adverse to seeing them around in say, I don't know, five years time... Please... The Following, brilliant! I was miserable all day thinking it'd come in at a 2.3 or something but this looks promising! :D
ReplyDeletethey wouldn't get a lot more even if they were at 8. the show became unwatchable and stupid
ReplyDeletethey wouldn't get a lot more even if they were at 8. the show became unwatchable and stupid and their ratings reflect that
ReplyDeleteThe good news for The Following is that, looking at the over night numbers The Following is the first new series of the season to grow in it's second episode. Good news.
ReplyDeleteWhere you see this ?
