-Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Tuesday 1/31/12:
CBS: +44, CW: + 8, NBC: - 3, ABC: -29, Fox: -49
----------
-Winners:
NCIS (CBS), NCIS: Los Angeles (CBS)
-Losers (excluding repeats):
Raising Hope (Fox), Hart of Dixie (CW), Happy Endings (ABC), Go On (NBC), The New Normal (NBC), The Mindy Project (Fox), Emily Owens, M.D. (Fox)
----------
-Ratings Breakdown:
It was a clean Tuesday sweep for CBS with its scripted drama combination of veteran NCIS (13.3 rating/21 share at 8 p.m. – top rated for the evening), spin-off NCIS: Los Angeles (10.5/17 at 9 p.m.), which has benefited opposite sitcoms on ABC, NBC and Fox, and freshman entry Vegas (6.9/12 at 10 p.m.). But retention for Vegas out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of NCIS: Los Angeles (10.2/16) of an unimpressive 68 percent coupled with the older audience skew means a second season is a long shot.
CBS, in fact, beat the four competing networks combined in the overnights.
In the distant No. 2 spot was NBC care of two episodes of recent returnee Betty White’s Off Their Rockers (8 p.m.: #2t: #2t, 3.6/ 6; 8:30 p.m.: #2t, 3.5/ 5), freshman comedies Go On (#3: 2.7/ 4) and The New Normal #2t, 2.4/ 4) and a 10 p.m. edition of Dateline (#2: 3.7/ 7), which stepped in for Parenthood. The next time someone tells you that the lead-in no longer matters, remind he or she of how far Go On with Matthew Perry has fallen minus the support of The Voice.
Next Tuesday, the second season of musical NBC drama Smash opens with a two-hour edition from 9-11 p.m.
In week two news, ABC cooking competition The Taste lost noticeable steam, with a 3.6/ 6 in the overnights from 8-9 p.m. Comparably, that was down by 20 percent from the 4.7/ 7 for the two-hour launch one week earlier (which translated into 5.82 million viewers and a 2.8 rating/5 share among adults 18-49, according to the Live Plus Same Day data).
Next on ABC were two episodes of sitcom Happy Endings, which was not so “happy” at a 2.2/ 3 at 9 p.m. and a series-low 1.9/ 3 at 9:30 p.m. The 9:30 p.m. installment stepped in for canceled Don’t Trust the B___ in Apt. 23. And an encore telecast of Jimmy Kimmel Live at 10 p.m. (in place of a previously scheduled repeat of drama Body of Proof), with guest Matt Damon, finished third with a 2.5/ 4 in the overnights at 10 p.m.
Fox, meanwhile, finished a distant third overall with two episodes (original and repeat) of Raising Hope (8 p.m.: #4, 2.7/ 4; 8:30 p.m.: #4, 2.5/ 5), deteriorating New Girl (#2: 3.5/ 5) and struggling The Mindy Project (#2t, 2.4/ 4). And The CW could not compete with Hart of Dixie (#5: 1.3/ 2) and canceled Emily Owens, M.D. (#5: 1.3/ 2). As I have said countless, too many comedies on Tuesday have bled into each other.
In late night, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on NBC and The Late Show with David Letterman on CBS tied for first in the 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. daypart, each with a 2.7/ 8 in the overnights. But dominant Leno dipped by 36 percent in the second half hour (3.3/ 8 to 2.1/ 6), while Letterman’s erosion (in the lower HUT level 12 a.m. half-hour) was less extensive at 26 percent (3.1/ 8 to 2.3/ 7). Keep in mind, no doubt, that a good portion of Leno’s older audience is going to bed midway through the show. Competing Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC, which is a younger skewing option than former time period occupant Nightline, finished third with a competitive 2.1/ 6.
Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on NBC topped the 12:30-1:30 a.m. daypart, with a 1.4/ 4 in the overnights, which was one-tenth of a rating point (or eight percent) above The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS (1.3/ 5). Relocated Nightline on ABC trailed with a 1.3/ 4 in the 12 p.m. half-hour. The positive news for ABC in late night, of course, is the younger skew tuning into the network from 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., which is beneficial to advertisers.

what a mess
ReplyDeletePeople only watch CBS on Tuesdays. I remember how last year FOX did so good in Tuesdays; now New Girl is only middling at best
ReplyDeleteI know, the losers far exceeds the winners.
ReplyDeleteI really don't like seeing Go On in the Loser category, people need to start watching it, its a really funny show
ReplyDeleteSo CBS is better than every network on Tuesdays?
ReplyDeleteSadly it's very lead in dependent.
ReplyDeleteFox is actually improving. It's been 10 episodes since New Girl and Mindy have been this high. I still say that they should be swapped with Glee to get more exposure after AI, since they have a higher growth potential than Glee, but whatever. Other than that, everything not called CBS did awful (That's a gigantic jump for LA). Hart of Dixie is also holding its own, not facing the voice is for sure helping it.
ReplyDeleteNew Girl did great :)
ReplyDelete* Looks at Go On's ratings *
ReplyDelete...
* Shakes his head *
So, when is The Voice coming back ? I love that show('s ratings that make it the perfect lead-in). March 26 seems so far away. The Nielsen people should really try to watch quality shows every once in a while.
PS : Hitfix reports that Go On actually did a 1.5 on the key demo, not 1.2 (http://www.hitfix.com/news/tv-ratings-ncis-dominates-tuesday-while-new-girl-leads-comedy-logjam ). I would prefer to believe that, but I'm guessing TVBTN isn't wrong. Also, the first Raising Hope of the night did 1.7.
Thanks, I've fixed Raising Hope 1st episode.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Go On is 1.2
Thanks for fixing Raising Hope's ratings. This great comedy beat ABC's cooking show, that's always good. And yes, Go On is 1.2, Hitfix fixed it a few minutes ago. I knew it was 1.2 too, I just wanted to believe it was 1.5 and everyone but them was wrong :p.
ReplyDeleteWell, this isn't good, but at least 90% of Tuesday shows aren't doing that well. That makes me feel a little better.
ReplyDeleteHnnng, my dear Happy Endings. :c
ReplyDeleteWhat people really need is other people to stop telling them what to watch.
ReplyDeleteWell it's hard for the other shows to compete with the NCIS shows. I have never seen shows have that much viewers before. :o
ReplyDeleteTuesdays are a B for all shows going up against the NCIS shows.
ReplyDeleteIt really sucks that Go On and Happy Endings were so low, both are amazing shows.
ReplyDeleteNCIS is sure on a roll!
ReplyDeleteI've heard some mixed reviews on Legit...
